This is a friendly reminder (again) that no matter when you send in a classified post it will NOT appear until the Friday chatlist. Please do NOT email me asking where your classified post is. It will not appear until the Friday Chatlist. If you send in your classified post on Friday AFTER the classified chatlist has already gone out, guess what? You classified post will NOT appear until the FOLLOWING Friday's Classified Chatlist.
If you get an automated receipt after you send in your post that means we HAVE received your post. Regular emails are posted within 24 to 48 hours. Of course, classified posts will NOT appear until the Friday chatlist.
The Friday Classifieds are very popular and it's not unusual to have over 30 to 40 items on the list. Do NOT email me about a missing post unless you have double checked the chatlist again.
The general rule of thumb is that you can post the same service or the same items twice in a row or twice in a month. Please adhere to this rule. It also helps a lot if you use some descriptive text in your heading besides FOR SALE ie used TV for sale, yardwork services, Queen-Size Bed and lots of other household stuff
Last item! Please remember that the Classified Chatlist is a FREE and popular community service. Neighbors like dealing with neighbors and it's nice to buy stuff or services from folks you "know". Following certain guidelines makes it a better experience for us all.

In regard to the proposed Pittsboro Place development, it should be pointed out that the developer has characterized it as something other than a mall. Then in last Monday night\'s meeting, he went on to point out the North Hills Mall in Raleigh as an example of a \"mixed use\" project just such as what he would bring here.
Having been a resident of Wake County for nearly 20 years, I was flabbergasted that Jackson could call North Hills a mixed use project. In fact, it\'s just a mall, a big one, too. Yes it has been redesigned in the last couple of years, but it never has been more than a mall, surrounded on three sides by the Beltline, Six Forks, and Lassiter Mill, all of which are multiple lane thoroughfares. There may be a few offices within North Hills Mall, but never was that development planned to integrate living spaces, greenways, and the like. IN fact, the whole area is so congested with auto traffic that pedestrian traffic is plainly in danger.
I moved to Pittsboro just this spring to affirm my connection with nature and sustainable living principles. I don\'t want Jackson\'s mall or whatever it is, and if North Hills is really the pattern for what he means to install, it\'s too absurd a proposition to merit consideration. It\'s way out of touch with the real need here, with environmental requirements, and with the realities of the market for such a place. Let Raleigh keep these places. Pittsboro exists for another reason.
