"going in the coming"
Hi!
I can't understand the underlined part in the following paragraph. Could you explain what is meant by "was going in the coming in Raleigh"?
quote:
Oh yes, there were eight of us children. I was the oldest of eight and right many of ‘em went to school. Let’s see, Charlotte…she got her master’s degree in Christian Education and Ann went to Kings Business School there in Raleigh and she went…that’s where she met her husband to be. She didn’t pay him much mind and I was working at Rex Hospital, and she was going in the coming in Raleigh and her boyfriend came to see me. He wanted to know…he wanted Ann to be his guest at one of the dances over at Chapel Hill because he was a student there. And she turned him down.

Not a very clear sentence. It might have been improperly recorded. html I think this must be about her going in a parade or similar.

Still, it might well be the "homecoming parade":
