The town of McLeansville hosts a grocery store, post office, several small businesses, and several churches, and US 70 (Burlington Road) is one of the main corridors that links the town to neighboring communities such as Greensboro, Sedalia, Gibsonville, Whitsett and Burlington. Interstate 785 passes thru a small portion of the town, leading to US 29. The area surrounding the town is characterized by rolling farmland, wooded areas, and suburban homes. Several strip malls with grocery stores and other businesses are in the outlying areas. The northern edge of McLeansville is accessible via US 29 and Hicone Road from Greensboro; here visitors can access Northeast Guilford Middle and High Schools, as well as Boldmoon Preserve, a passive park that features frontage along Reedy Fork Creek, with nature trails and interpretive signage.

Notable inhabitants
gollark: There's probably a relatively simple reason why it doesn't work, but I don't know what it is and I don't feel like trying to comprehend Audacity's spectrogram code, especially since this might have been made in some older version.
gollark: It doesn't actually work, see.
gollark: I was going to say something about available time, but I clearly have enough now to randomly attempt to decode spectrograms, so that isn't really a huge issue.
gollark: I would totally help if I knew enough to actually write useful deep learning™ code, which I do not.
gollark: Ignore the bit which displays the spectrum thing as an image and exits, I was trying to work out if the color scheme was right (it might be).
