How well I remember, back in 1966, my mentor presenting me with a copy of Natural Gardens with the comment, “If you are going to study the botany of North Carolina, then you need to become acquainted with B.

  • Mccorkle PLACE
    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

  • DCHC MPO 2045 MTP Final Plan Comments
    DCHC MPO 2045 MTP Final Plan Comments Introduction This document compiles the public comments that the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) received during the Preferred Option and final plan and report phases of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The final plan and report comments start on page 1 and those for the Preferred Option start on page 34. For comments, questions and additional information: Andy Henry, [email protected], 919-560-4366, ext. 36419. DCHC MPO Web site: www.dchcmpo.org MTP Web page: www.bit.ly/DCHC-MTP Final Plan and Report Comment Period The MPO released the final plan and full report of the 2045 MTP on January 10, 2018 for a public comment that lasts through March 2, 2018. Comments by Email 01/10/18 In general, the proposed plan makes senses except for a couple of key components. The light rail system for Orange and Durham counties should really be called the UNC-Duke light rail system because it seems that these two institutions are the primary beneficiaries of this system. That said, the taxpayers of Orange and Durham counties are paying for a sizable portion of the bill, yet UNC and Duke, being tax-exempt organizations are paying nothing. What is even more upsetting it that taxpayers in most of Orange County and perhaps even in most of Durham County, i.e., rural residents, especially to the west and north of Chapel Hill, will most likely never use this system. I personally don't think light-rail is feasible considering the population displacement of Orange County commuters.

  • John Vanderslice Over the Course of His Extensive Career As An
    John Vanderslice Over the course of his extensive career as an influential songwriter, record producer, and studio owner, John Vanderslice has carved out a singular place for himself in the landscape of American indie rock. Raised in rural North Florida, Vanderslice was forced into piano lessons as a young child, and eventually picked up the guitar and started writing songs as a teen. His relationship to songwriting transformed at fourteen when he was given a Tascam 424 tape recorder—the process of using the tape deck as an instrument was a revelation for him, and he began to channel his early influences (Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, David Bowie) into freewheeling, intuitive explorations of song. After moving to San Francisco in 1989, Vanderslice made three records as a part of the experimental band MK Ultra, including the critically-acclaimed The Dream is Over. His obsession with recording craft persisted: while working as a waiter at Chez Panisse in 1997, he opened Tiny Telephone Recording as an affordable outlet for the Bay Area’s indie rock community. Tiny Telephone has since developed into a laboratory for some of the most inventive recordings of the genre, including the prolific output of Vanderslice’s own solo projects. Between 2000 and 2014, JV released 10 records on Barsuk, Dead Oceans, and Secretly Canadian, and collaborated as a producer and musician on records by Spoon, the Mountain Goats, Okkervil River, Death Cab for Cutie and Tune-Yards. He toured tirelessly across the US and Europe, playing over 1000 shows and headlining tours with Sufjan Stevens and St.
