Subject: Anti-Capitalist Chatham Residents Shoot Selves In Collective Feet

Mixed beverage/liquor by the drink/”LBD” or whatever other name you call it…no one’s making you drink ‘em.  The topic has been hashed out numerous times on the Chatlist as well as the Chatham message board numerous times and the primary arguments being made against it have been refuted by many common sense counterpoints from many local residents
that no one has yet managed to successfully dispute, such as how drinking five minutes from home versus fifty endangers less people and how current laws don’t prevent me or you from making mixed drinks during get-togethers at our homes and getting plastered locally anyway.

Subject: Customer Service is hard to find in PBO

This weekend I had 2 examples of terrible customer service in PBO, and  if they weren’t offset by other examples of really good service, I’d have said customer service is DEAD in Pittsboro.

Subject: after school for teens

Great project. When I was in that phase, we tried “The Generations Gap”  in Siler City. It required more supervision for a more extended time and we burned out. Do better in Pittsboro this time. You won’t do anything more important for your community. And many of those teens would have an opportunity to develop their managerial skills and contribute rather than just “hang out”.

Previously published in the Chapel Hill Herald Sun

It’s been a couple o’ weeks since the Pittsboro Town Board met to consider its participation in bus service in cooperation with Chapel Hill Transit, Chatham County and the federal government. I’ve had time to mull over the statements and consult the meeting minutes provided to me by Town Clerk, Alice Lloyd. I was present at the meeting.
