Subject: BBQ and brunswick stew

It’s that time of year when area churches are revving up the cookers and stew pots.  Merritt’s Chapel will be having their Fall BBQ and brunswick stew -all you can eat- this Saturday from 4-  8pm. 

Coleslaw, hushpuppies, rolls, homemade pickles,  tea(with eat in) and homemade desserts will also be served.  Our pork BBQ is slow cooked and made with a prize winning sauce and the brunswick stew is made from a hundred year old recipe that is hard to beat.  Eat in and take out line.

Subject: WoodsRock III Music Festival moving indoors because of Irene

Don’t want to spend Saturday cooped up inside watching the progress of the hurricane all day long on the TV?

Come out to WoodsRock III indoor venue for a full day’s worth of live music.

The inevitable arrival of Irene has forced a change in the WoodsRock III location. We’re moving to our Woodland Grove home where we can listen to good music, eat good food, and have good fellowship with our community in the comfort of the great indoors!!!!

Subject: C. H. Tire – Ann’s comments!

Bless you Ann for having the courage to re-Post and say you were wrong.  Was about to post something in defense of my friends @ CH (Carrboro & Chatham County)Tire but see a number of you jumped in with POSITIVE remarks!   Good for you!

Just my 2 cents — > It is so easy to be critical these days and I fear as in politics that there are many times a “silent majority” (out there) that do not feel the same as some folks who post negative reports — and then there are others who believe the last thing they hear and will just repeat information regardless of the validity!

Subject: Chapel Hill Tire in Cole Park

Hello Chatlisters:

I feel compelled to rise to the defense of CH Tire-Cole Park as in today’s Chatlist a ‘lister cast aspersions on the veracity of their advice in a recent transaction.  My experience with them over the last three years has been excellent.  They find things now and then on my car and trucks and explain them thoroughly and are very upfront about how to deal (or not deal) with items they have found.

Subject: Wrought Iron Gem!

I love this place.  I just found out about “The Last Unicorn”.  We were looking for something for my husband to play with in his welding class.  We also “need” lots of yard art and a new mailbox post.  This was just the place for us. 

“Architectural Antiques, specializing in wrought iron gates and fencing, stained glass and other pretties.  It was an adventure just wondering around this place.  Its almost all outdoors.  Probably more than a acre.  Some pieces are as-is.  Some have been cleaned up.  He has this really neat octagonal building with a fire pit in the middle – the Meditation Room – open to any by appointment. And Lots more.  Cool!

Chris -

Happy to hear that you have been around for more than 60 years. Hopefully it means you are a man of some wisdom.

I am not so happy to hear that you feel that you and about two or four or six other people feel that you are entitled to ride what is essentially a 40 passenger limousine service that taxpayers had to pay $360,000 for.

Subject: public transportation & on the job training

To quote a recent chatlist post:

“Why is it my responsibility as a taxpayer to subsidize transportation for you to get to work? Should I also buy your food and pay your mortgage because your income is limited? Sorry, but I believe in personal responsibility and this belief that the nanny government is here to take care of you has gotten out of control.”
