It is a real shame that this page contains no links to the stories about products made in NC. The whole think assumes too much on the one hand and fails to make the real stories of the products and the people and places behind them on the other. What a disappointment.

And not even a stop in Chapelboroham!

Sidewalks and trails of Chapel Hill

It's too bad that there is not a map of Chapelboroham that shows all of the sidewalks and trails. Have I missed one that does? Googlemaps does some of this but it would be nice to have the full map, not just showing routes between locations.

"Strong Durham Schools"

A nice idea, in some respects, but the organizers' decision to reject any negative information and only to focus on positive reports, makes this much higher on promotion than on value. "Balanced" would have made so much more sense to me. If they have only rejected 2 contributions so far for being less than positive, what is the risk - with proper review of submissions - of presenting views that include both positives and negatives, and the huge category of not-quite-either that lies between those two!
