Five second opinion:Finish the Hotel Louise project and then *voila* — there’s a hotel downtown and developers can leave the 4.5 acres at the east end of the promenade as a green space.
Note to Tom Richter and friends: The Maola Bldg is is privately owned. Seems kinda’ weird that there’s a development plan for it… [...]
How amusing. The WDN gives us an editorial criticizing area developers for not developing quickly enough. The News & Observer gives us a news story quoting our xenophobic county commissioners about how we don’t want no foreigners in this here community. Ain’t nobody gonna’ do us right, ain’t that the truth of it, Larry Wayne? [...]

ECPC is pleased to hear that our own Walter B. Jones is the GOP member who crossed the aisle to help author the resolution condemning President Bush’s escalation of troops in Iraq. Stopping the proposed ill-advised troop-surge in Iraq is not about Republicans or Democrats, it’s about bringing home our men and women in the [...]
A flock of cedar waxwings visited our yard on Saturday. The crabapples were a big hit, as was the ligustrum. What a joy! We also frequently watch a pair of bald eagles as they survey Jack’s Creek for fish. The eagles have been returning to the eastern Washington area for the last three years or [...]
A unique opportunity exists in this area which should be exploited by the Washington Tourism Development Authority.( authority? like the New York City Port Authority? hmmmm. Do WTDA members have police powers?)
Back to the task at hand. This hamlet should create a new type of tour — an Agri-Eco-Histo Tour. Combine the three popular types [...]
Okay, okay — we’re trying to be pleasant here but seriously folks, can you truly say the wetlands destruction proposed for PCS Phosphate is a good idea?
Yes, yes, many area residents work for PCS. And yes, PCS has threatened us all with a plant closing if we don’t give in to their demands.
But this [...]

Amanda and I had a favorite history professor named Henry Ferrell at East Carolina. When Amanda found and caught a very wild, afraid and abandoned cat and took it home to “tame” it, she named it Henry.
Now that little bit of information creates a marvelous segue into today’s topic.
Feral cats.
Washington, North Carolina [...]

"…We ask why and how. Why did the Reformation happen when it happened? Why were there so few slave revolts in the United States? How did family life change in the Victorian era and why did it do so? This question, repeated in many forms and used by all subfields of history, provides the information [...]

Yesterday’s review of our new Cat Bamboo store and its merchandise reminds me of going to utopia, a topic I studied at the University of South Carolina-Aiken in a political philosphy class. Even drove all the way to Columbia to a used bookstore BA (Before Amazon) to get a copy of Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backwards. [...]
