Subject: Excellent food — exciting photography at the Pittsboro Carolina Brewery

Good morning folks:

Last night (Saturday) Carol-Ann and I had dinner at the Brewery. I guess in honor of Mardi Gras season, one of the specials is Shrimp PoBoys. They were really good. The beer is always really good. A new exhibit has been organized by the Chatham Artists Guild, featuring photographers Mark Bashista and Roy Lindholm. If you enjoy wonderful images wonderfully displayed, stop for a really good meal and see the art.

Subject: I wish to add my voice to those supporting the HRCA

As an owner of commercial real estate I wish to add my voice to those supporting the HRCA. Actually, on second thought, I will change positions from merely supporting to openly begging the Board to approve the school. Pittsboro is in dire condition and anything that will bring folks here is a great idea.

Hi Bob,

Welcome to Pittsboro.

I am sorry that a few unconscious people on the Chatlist have made you uncomfortable about your choice to move here.

I moved here 20 years ago alone, and I have never felt so embraced by a community. We are a warm and welcoming, creative and eclectic group!

People that have written these hurtful and negative posts on the chatlist are not bad people…. I think that they are a just folks that are unaware of any other way to vent the pain in their lives. Unfortunately the way they choose to vent it is ineffective.

Subject: Things will work out they always do!

I have been seeing so much dissension going on this chatlist that I had to share a quotation that we all should heed.  I hope that whatever the outcome of the situation of opening the school is we should just accept and then we all have to move on.  I am sure things will work out in the end what is best for the children.

Subject: sad for Pittsboro General Store

It is sad to see the demise of the current General Store and I can only hope it will come back in another incarnation soon–it has been a store at a different location, a grocery/eatery over the years, and this restaurant under different owners–so we can hope the front at least could come back in business somehow.

Subject: re:”Voller blinked”

When I read a letter on the chatlist like this one it makes me sick at heart the way human beings can treat each other. No matter what Voller has or has not done, is there any chance that you could write a dispassionate accurate account stating why you are upset?

This type of abuse does not convince me that Voller is a bad guy -  only that you enjoy putting people down..
