I'm thinking of staying in Chapel Hill for the fireworks instead of hitting
up the State Fairgrounds (my usual romping grounds on the 4th ever since undergrad at State). How do they compare? Who has been to the
firework display in Chapel Hill, is it very good? Are there any good
spots in town where you can park & watch w/o going to the main
event as you can with the State Fairgrounds firework display? Will WCHL be covering the event live? Any other fun ideas for
the 4th in Chapel Hill/Carrboro? What are you doing for the 4th?
I found this News Release on the Town of Chapel Hill's shiney new website:

"News Review
I have been following up on my previous blog regarding small farm development in Orange County. A key to any successful entireprise is being covered by the NC Bona Fide Farm statute. I find the statute wording to be confusing, but a key provision is that 10 acres of land needs to be comprised of land in production or contiguous woodlands or wetlands. Based on this rule, the minimum practical size for a Bona Fide farm in NC is approximately 11 acres, 10 to meet the rule in the statue and at leasts an acre for buildings and roads.

The Town of Chapel Hill's new website appears to have gone live today. It sure is a snazzy new look, but I haven't found much yet in the way of new features. The menu navigation seems to be more intuitive than the old website, and it seems to be much easier to use from a casual visitor's perspective. But I'm still not having an easy time finding archived material without a help from my dear friend Google. Have you had a chance to check it out? What do you think?
