"La Provence (bien) vue par ses touristes" - La Provence
How can we make it easier for people of all kinds from residents to first-time visitors to tell us about their experience in Chapelboroham?
For example, my wife and I ate last evening at Mint in Chapel Hill with a friend/colleague from Bangladesh. How do we contribute our reactions to that evening to some better and useful understanding of how to make Chapelboroham even better? We need to come up with an organized and valuable way to do this.
Suppose we were each offered $2 for filling out a post-visit form with a limite of 12/year? And that we were given a reminder of this option at every place we might go from the botanical center to restaurants and gas stations and all manner of shops and services, including the universities?

Commercial (and other) life along the bus lines
I was just reading a story about how here in Nice, where I am now, the city focused on ways to increase business for those shops along the relatively recently finished tram line. Those businesses suffered mightily during the tram construction, and have had a tough time coming back. Slowly, they are re-energizing themselves or transforming into new offerings.
One of the approaches that I have not seen tried in Chapel Hill and environs is to focus on ways in which businesses can be advanced that are along all of the bus routes. How, for example, can businesses at either end of the V line that connectes Southern Village and Meadowmont benefit from those buses? Are their promotions that could be devised? Is there information that could be disseminated? Are there stories that could be told? And it is not just at either end that's important. The same bus stops at Glen Lennox shopping center and runs through the UNC campus. What are the businesses and other offerings along the way that people with access to that route ought to consider.
The same is true for every other bus line in town.
And it applies to the buses of Triangle Transit as well that connect Chapel Hill to the rest of the Triangle.
