Subject: Where O Where?

I don’t want to sound cranky,  BUT: some people who post suggestions and recommendations for interesting Chatham businesses do not give the rest of us any information to help us locate their finds. Many times we need more information than “Pittsboro”, “Chatham County” or “Siler City”.

I am sure the business owners would be grateful for your information, as would we.

Subject: Get your political endorsements in

Election day is Tuesday, November 3rd.

Everyone is reminded to get their political endorsements in for their favorite Pittsboro, Siler City and Goldston candidates in by Monday.

If you feel a candidate is not qualified, you have to get your email in by Saturday. That way your least favorite candidate and their advocates have time to respond before the election.

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: “drivers from Siler City”

To those of you who “generalized” and made it to sound like that everyone who is “slingshotting” at the traffic circle” is from Siler City – do you know for a fact the culprits are from Siler City?  Or, did  you mean to say “traffic traveling 64 East”.  I am glad to know that no one in Pittsboro has ever made such a move.  Being from Siler City, I just found it somewhat offensive.  It may not be what you meant, but that is how it appeared.

Subject: Signaling in traffic circle

I agree on the concerns for safety at the Pittsboro Traffic Circle.   Having grown up in England with roundabouts there basically are 2 rules.  1. Yield to whoever is on the circle – traffic coming from your left and 2. Signal when you are exiting the circle.  Then people know which direction you are going.

Subject: Traffic Circle Danger

I would like defend us Siler City residents in that everyone who travels west on 64 into the traffic circle is not from Siler City.  Being a native of Pittsboro I am more than aware of how the circle works.
