Chapel Hill island living

I want to work with others to create a map of Chapel Hill that shows all of the homes that have a pedestrian connection to a food store v those that do not. When I say pedestrian access, I am referring to a space from which automobiles are barred with the exception of crosswalks. So that means sidewalks and trails. Here in Southern Village, ALL of us can reach a grocery store, in fact many of them, including downtown Chapel Hill and other commercial centers such as Eastgate that meet this criterion of pedestrian access. But the res of Chapel Hill. How many homes?

Dick's - why would rational people shop there?

Today's newspaper insert for Dick's includes a full page of guns and a another page almost entirely made up of serious weapons. How does this contribute to our community? Why would anyone with a brain patronize such a store? Guns are bad and we need to reduce, not increase, the number of them in Chapelboroham.

Why not?

Why not require all stores to provide specific instruction on how to dispose properly of all packaging sold with products and services? The instructions would be tailored automatically to each purchase so as to deal with all components from plastic/paper bags to batteries, etc.
