Okay, here’s the big rumor — you heard it here last
Hotel Louise is going to be The George.
Restored to its 1930s splendor (oh wait, didn’t we have a Depression then?) with a Mediterranean Restaurant — 30 room hotel w/4th floor condos for permanent residents. Well, hot damn. That ought to knock the [...]
Downtown Washington merchants are pissing in their pants over the NOT-proposed sale of the city parking lots — rumors fly and these fine store owners fear losing their view. Another tempest in a teapot? We must all agree on one thing — the hundreds of acres of ASPHALT along our beautiful waterfront afford a far [...]
So, last April Belhaven residents got the news of a possible new cable company coming to town. Now it’s October and the town council is denying another franchise application. Apparently the citizens of Belhaven are going to roll over to the lobbying of Belhaven Cable Co. and not allow another franchise into eastern NC. Corki [...]

Apparently the all-consuming cloak of bigotry and demagoguery of the 1950-60s still covers Beaufort County. Many of us thought the evil ideas and hatred regurgitated during the dark days of the Jim Crow era left this area long ago. ehhh, nope. There are those who claim their Jesus has given them the power to [...]
thanks scott
Tideland Mental Health is sponsoring a town meeting tonight at the Civic Center. 7:00 pm. Since the State has seen fit to close Dorthea Dix and is jerking funding right and left for treatment of the mentally ill, it’s important to find out what’s going on. I fear another Regan-era where the government assumes no [...]
Due to the increase in comments from spammers [those f'in poker online people who will rot in hell for all eternity, could we please take away THEIR civil liberties?] all comments will now be approved or deleted by the editor. It’s inconvenient as hell for me, annoying for legitimate comment posts, but necessary.
The Literary Digest, published by Funk & Wagnalls until 1937, contains some interesting wisdom we can still apply to our lives as we stumble through the year 2004.
The Better Business Bureau, way back in January 1937, warns of Get-Rich-Quick schemes. The article refers to a 1930 McCall’s Magazine report listing Do’s and Don’ts for Women [...]
My take on the the plans to turn Snookies into townhouses: While this sounds like a good idea, we must all remember to look closely at the map located on the 2nd floor landing at Brown Library. The X marking the exact spot where Blackbeard’s treasure is located? It’s just to the left of [...]
I figure everyone who pays attention caught this, but just in case someone wasn’t listening –the Cheney reference to factcheck.com resulted in one very humorous re-direct. I’m sure George Soros is pleased by the turn of events (or the turn of URL, so to speak).
Seems the Water St. house might be saved from the wrecking ball. Wait, St. Clair’s doesn’t use a ball, they bulldoze. Whatever… Refrigerator Raider is supposed to close on the house this month. He’s buying and restoring the house. Good for him. Kudos all around.
In case of the rapture, can I have your car?
I want to stick a fork in Cheney’s forehead. Is that wrong?
Had to drive to The Emerald City on the banks of the mighty Tar before the Edwards/Cheney debate tonight. No debate, no political discourse, can be observed without fortification. That means HOT Krispy Kreme donuts.
Now I can listen to anything. Just give me my dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and I could look at anything — [...]
Anyone want to buy some drugs? The kind that come in small ziploc bags? Well, just come to the corner of Old 2nd St and Brown St and look for the guy with a ponytail, red hair, in an electric wheelchair– he could just possibly, allegedly, maybe, have whatever you need. Or just go [...]
