HOW TRUE!! How True!! It is always the “silver”. Glad they love the silver, however, the last time I checked, burial suits did not have pockets.
What are you talking about? There will be hundreds of new jobs to build all of those buildings and landscape them. Jobs to staff the stores and and manage various parts of it. More alternatives of places to eat for Pittsboro folks unless you think three restaurants and eight fast food places are appealing to the hundreds of retirees now living in Pittsboro. Not so.
There needs to be a balance of the quaint side of Pittsboro and the needs of current residents. It seems to me that the quaint side of Pittsboro has faltered in the past ten years. Lots of turnover of stores downtown. Used to be a antiquers paradise.
Wake up Pittsboro !! It’s the 21st century. Progress happens. Because of our wonderful climate retirees are flocking here from all over the country. Some of us are here because we went to college here at one of the Big Three Universities. Some of us moved here to be near our children and grandchildren as they stayed here after graduating from those same Universities. Some of us prefer the Pittsboro lifestyle to that of the Triangle cities. Some of us are here because in the past Pittsboro was a great place to go antiquing. In fact these all apply to my family. We’ve happily called Pittsboro our home for the last six years.
