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.

Subject: Car Repairs from a Reputable Business

Anita Olinger endorsed ‘Siler City Radiator’ as an excellent source for quality car repair.

When I was in Siler City Radiator a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the sign in the waiting area said ‘Siler City Automotive’.

Whether you call it Siler City Radiator or Siler City Automotive or Siler City Radiator and Automotive Repair, Jimmy Brower and Company will do an excellent job on your car at a fair price.  He has informational videos running in the waiting area, where you can learn some good stuff if you care to listen, or a lot of times you can find interesting people to talk to while you are there.

I was coming out of the chatham Marketplace and saw a used Accord ( the 05 model was voted best by Consumer Reports that year, gets ~ 30 mpg in town). Anyway, i went home, looked them up online, they have a great website, btw, with everything listed: http://www.smartcars1.com/index.html

Subject: Good, No excellent car repair service in the Pittsboro area

Wow, all the negative comments regarding people’s horrible experiences with Chapel Hill Tire has prompted me to recount an EXCELLENT service experience I received from a locally owned small business. Auto Pro, just past the Haw river on 15-501. Six miles north of Pittsboro. Just past the Haw River bridge.
