Subject: What do you like about Chatham County?
Looks like the News and Observer is paying attention to what is going on at the Chatham Online Bulletin Board.
You can find the complete bulletin board thread at

The N&O blog entry is below –

The Chatham Chatlist puts the rest of us blogs to shame. There is a beautiful thread on its Chatham County Online section. It asks simply “What Do You Like About Chatham County.” Here’s one response:
Seeing cows on my way to and from work.
Driving over Jordan Lake at sunrise.
Having three people say “good morning” to me between my getting out of the car and entering the grocery store – and I don’t know any of them.
Having some kind of real conversation with clerks when I buy something.
The wood floors in the Southern States.
Slowing down behind someone on a tractor.
The elderly man who drove his horse and Amish buggy up our driveway last week “just to say hi” and welcome us to the neighborhood.
Interesting yard art.
That people always assume you want your tea sweet.
People who wave from their porch when you drive by.
Scarecrows and hanging tin pie pans in gardens.
Sitting outside on my porch, and the only thing I can hear is someone’s donkey braying off in the distance, and birds.
Saving a hummingbird that got stuck in the barn, and then seeing it at our feeder every day.
