It looks like a lot of local businesses are participating in (or at least supporting) the Immigrant Day of Action tomorrow.

I haven't heard of much going on locally. Where's the action? Will you be at work?

The song that's sweeping southern Orange County now has it's own web site, and the video shoot is on for this weekend!

Come show that local politicos know how to have fun, too. :-)

Compare and contrast... Young black men with guns at After Chill vs. young white man with gun at East Chapel Hill High. What's the difference?

Many people have complained of Apple Chill's $100,000 price tag as a drain on the town. But no-one batted an eye at the $681,000 cost of the Council's acquiesence to the Dogwood Acres neighborhood at the same meeting on Monday night. When Southern Village was being built a decade ago, Dogwood Acres vehemently fought any physcial connection to their new neighbor. After it was done they had a change of heart.

Now that the town is building the Southern Community Park on their doorstep, again Dogwood Acres wants to innoculate itself from the change. It seems to me that these folks are pretty lucky getting access to so many amenities within walking distance of their lovely neighborhood, but they fight these improvements like they are a stinking landfill! That is, until they are built.
