Subject: Chatham County cool places

I would like to echo the recent post about PC’s Cool Place. It is a great place for a meal or just ice cream. A good friend took me there recently and we had a great time. My son’s were treated like royalty. Any place that calls me darlin and takes care of my kids is on my list. Next time you are in Siler City, go check out this little gem. It is not that far off the path, just blocks from downtown.  Tell them Darlin’ sent you.

If anyone owns property on Hwy 64 in Siler City and would allow us to place a yellow motorcycle awareness sign near the highway, please contact the Chatham County Concerned Bikers Association.

We are a non-profit motorcycle riders group who also promote motorcycle safety for bike riders and motorcycle awareness for car drivers.  We have purchased and installed several yellow motorcycle awareness signs around Pittsboro and we would also like to place one near Siler City.

Subject: PC’s Cool Place – A Great Place To Eat!

I wanted to let everyone know of a wonderful, family-owned restaurant in Siler City. PC’s Cool Place is everything that a restaurant  should be: Clean, good prices,  good food and WONDERFUL Customer Service!

Yes, they are a bit off the beaten path…sort ‘a  like me;0…but, you will not regret giving a small-locally owned and operated  business a try.

Subject: RE: Medicare supplemental Insurance salesrep tricks

As soon as people stop employing questionable tactics to sell stuff to older adults in Chatham, I’ll stop posting… THANKS Gene, for making it possible for our community to share info.

A company called Southeast Community Care called and wanted to serve ice cream at both our senior centers. Said they work with seniors, etc.

Southeast Community Care sounds friendly enough, right?

I would just like to say, come on folks.

If you think that anyone who doesn’t agree with you isn’t enlightened or liberal – are you either?

This a big ole county and there’s room for everyone and that means more than one point of view is okay.

Thankfully, everyone has their own opinions and the right and opportunity to voice them.

Isn’t that what makes democracy work?

Welcome to Chatham.

Hope the experience gets better!
