Noon report

The Carrboro Commons tabloid is on the street so grab one. Hats off to the whole crew. The Commons site gears up again with the new school year.
Here’s the list of locations so far: Weaver Street Market, Townsend & Bertram, Visart, Elmo’s, Century Center, Town Hall, Open Eye and Carrburritos.

Orange Politics points us to the community meetings this afternoon and evening on Carolina North.

To accommodate different schedules, we will hold two sessions. The information reviewed at both will be the same so attend whichever is most convenient for you. Both sessions will be on Wednesday, December 13th in room 2603 of the School of Government:

3:00 – 5:00 PM. Parking available in either the Hwy 54 Visitor Lot or in the Rams Head deck.

6:00 – 8:00 PM. Parking available in the School of Government parking deck.

For more information: University’s Carolina North news page.

Meanwhile, check out these other tales of the city:
The Indy on the new Pedicabs:

The coming months will determine whether there’s a niche market for pedicabs in the Triangle. In the longer run, as the price of oil inevitably climbs and the health of our planet correspondingly declines, human-powered transport will become increasingly attractive. Years from now, today’s pedicabbers might be remembered less as John Henrys than as pioneers.

CHN’s Randy Young on the Carrboro Falcons:

The disillusioned and soul-sore sports fan should take a walk around Carrboro’s Anderson Park and try to find an unused patch of green grass. Or watch a soccer game evolve in the outfields of a field at Cedar Falls Park. Or simply stroll around the UNC campus on a sunny afternoon.
