So does POPE own the Rose's at University Mall?

"La région PACA en Chine capitaliste" - nicematin.com
Here in Nice, we find ourselves in a "market" not unlike the Triangle, or even Chapelboroham itself.
When the President of China scheduled his imminent trip to France, he was offered a chance to see chateaux and other notable places around Paris. He said no, he wanted to visit the Cote d'Azur, the capital of which is Nice.
That announcement sparked a lot of local coverage of how the region here, as we call what is often called a market in the US, interacts already with China and what the plans are for the future.
If the Chinese President comes to the US, will he ask to visit the Triangle or Chapelboroham? I doubt it. Understanding the difference between the two might help insure a lot more success in the future in NC.

"Environ Fair" - Chapel Hill Magazine
I think this magazine ought to think about taking on a new name, Chapel Hill Cheerleader. It would be so much more descriptive, don't you think?

"Roses & raspberries" - Chapel Hill News
I certainly concur with the raspberries award to UNC, but I think there is a response that would be the right one for the University. How about putting the revenues from parking that day into a fund to establish a permanent memorial on the UNC campus to Rob and the entire HOGAN family for all they have contributed to UNC starting with its 200 acres in 1792, and surely NOT ending with the loss of Rob.

Praire Home Companion - "Theatre Locations for Upcoming Events"
I wonder why no theathers in Chapelboroham are participating?

"Wal-Mart's thinking small" - Marketplace From American Public Media
What are the possibilities in Chapelboroham and what are the implications?
Cellphones
As I stood, waiting for a bus, on 54 near Glen Lennox yesterday, I counted roughly 1 out of every 20 drivers using a cellphone. For every 20 drivers, that's one too many.

"Robert C. Hogan Jr. Obituary" - The News & Observer
Rob was a good friend and a great person. What was it that made him so special? What does that mean for Chapelboroham? What can we learn from this tragedy that we can draw from his 54 years of living such a good life?

Saturday night bus....
It sure would be nice to have a bus running into downtown Chapel Hill from Southern Village, and other places, on Saturday nights and likely at other non-served times as well.
Imagine the parking challenge that this solves, the chance to chat with neighbors on the bus that this provides, and all of the environmental and safety considerations.
Those of us who enjoy wine with a meal, if that's what we do downtown, can do so without running the risk of an accident on the way home.
Everyone wins, it seems to me.
So why are we not doing this?

"Maya Acuzena" - WUNC
We went to see her last night in a space that is wonderful for such things on the second floor of the building that houses Top of the Hill at Franklin and Columbia Strees. She is a consummate performer, extremely well-spoken and thoughtful, and seemingly a quite exceptional person.

"Rob HOGAN" - CaringBridge
This is the evolving story of a good friend and his amazing response to big medical challenges. His family has been working farms in Chapelboroham for over 250 years!
"Council hears pros, cons of Northside sidewalk" - The Carrboro Citizen
I have changed my view a bit on sidewalks.
Think about the word - sidewalk. It means something on the side, a walk on the side (of the road).
I think we pedestrians all deserve better than that, and we should begin to think more about how we can provide pedestrians with the pedestrian equivalent of both interstates and right down to country roads. Imagine if we were planning Chapelboroham as a fully non private vehicle community. What would those pedestrian routes look like?
