Something Borrowed, Something New at the Carolina Brewery

Tamera Mulanix and Rita Spina know a thing or two about recycling — with a twist. They transform cast off objects into objects of art.

Mulanix says, “There’s nothing I enjoy more than taking a rusty piece of scrap metal and turning into something beautiful. Spina adds, “I find most of the materials in scrap yards, walks in the woods, rural roads and often on my front deck, as people who know my work pass “junque” along.” Along with the comforting food and award-winning beers served up at Pittsboro’s Carolina Brewery, folks will be treated to an exhibit of “Reborn Beauty” in August and September.

Kick Off August With Edsel 500 at the Bynum General Store Friday Night

Join us at the Bynum General Store on Friday, August 1st for a musical thrill ride with Edsel 500.  Their sound is best described as a musical landscape of high-octane barnbuners, slinky blues, country stompers and finger-popping swing.  Music begins at 7 pm and continues until 9 pm. Bring a chair, sit under an open sky and enjoy the music, each other’s company and tasty treats from Barney’s Hot Dogs and Larry’s Famous Cheesecakes.

Subject: Cell phone coverage in Chatham County to the street level

Local folks on the chatlist are always looking for information about cell phone coverage in Chatham County.

You can go to the T-mobile web site at http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx and do a street search of their cellular cover.

Note: Since many cell phone carrier share towers this web page will give you an idea of what kind of covergae is available in your area.

Subject: Larry’s Famous Cheesecake & Bakery

An update for all our customers….

We are building a bakery in Pittsboro with hopes that it will open around November of 2008.

With a small change of plans from having the bakery in our house we are now going to transform our oversized two car garage into a larger bakery and retail space. We are very excited about this positive set back. It will mean that you will have to wait a few more months before you can come to us and buy our baked goods but it will be well worth your wait.

Subject: A total waste of a question

Question 17.  If the Chatham Coalition endorses you and citizens challenge you about this endorsement, howwill you publicly respond to this challenge?

What?  A total waste of a question.  What egos are at work with this one and what does it have to do with running for or serving on the BOE.  Come on, Coalition folks, you can do better than this.

Subject: I have to second the excellent service

I have to second the excellent service from Barry, Jennifer and the gang at Auto Pro.  They are the best!

I had an oxygen sensor issue that no one in the area except Barry could figure out.  He was not sure of the
issue either at first but wanted to keep my car until he figured it out–and he did! And his price was very reasonable! I now only take my Honda to them.
