It is my pleasure to welcome you to Carrboro, where small town charm and a friendly, relaxing atmosphere, forward thinking and cultural diversity come together to create the one and only “Paris of the Piedmont”. We’re more than just a town – we’re a community! This year we celebrated a once-in-a-lifetime event: our 100th birthday!

The Carrboro Farmers Market was voted the best in North Carolina! There are lots of cool places to shop, and an abundant variety of restaurants ranging from cafes to fine dining – all of which hold a reputation for keeping their customers happy and coming back for more. Whether you walk, ride a bike or take advantage of our free bus service, I hope you will enjoy all that our community has to offer! Best wishes,

Food purchased from local farmers is usually picked/processed closer to the time of purchase. You improve air quality. Buying local reduces the energy burden of trucking, shipping and flying freight. You conserve valuable resources. Local sourcing reduces dependency on fossil fuels and puts more food-buying dollars in the hands of local producers. You foster genetic diversity. Local farmers often grow produce and raise animals from heirloom seed and heritage stock that offer healthy and tasty culinary and dietary diversity. T omato Day at the Farmers’ Market is a can’t-miss annual event for tomato lovers. You choose quality. Local producers and restaurateurs are held to a greater standard of accountability than agribusiness conglomerates and chain eateries. You help children learn values. Supporting family farms sustains a lifestyle that teaches children values such as land stewardship, cooperation and responsibility. You embrace and promote the region’s heritage.

The staff of New Media Campaigns with Joel Sutherland and Wally out front
ucked away in offices throughout downtown, Carrboro’s hidden economy is quietly booming. TUnbeknownst to many, in recent years Carrboro has become something of a mini technology-business mecca, with Internet businesses like Newfangled Web Developers, Blogads, Schmap! and Caktus Consulting headquartering their companies here. Mark O’Brien, co-owner of Newfangled Web Developers, said he moved his business – a web-development company serving clients across North America – from Providence, R.I., to Carrboro for the quality of life here, but has discov- ered hidden benefits. “It’s local to the university, so there’s a great employee pool. It’s central to lots of places,” he said. Having other Internet businesses nearby hasn’t hurt either, O’Brien said. Newfangled is located in the same building as Blogads, a company that con- nects national advertisers with blog readers through its network of 3,500 blogs. “We’ve made a lot of connections with them,” he said. “They speak our lan- guage.” Mark O’Brien of Newfangled Web Developers. Overall, Newfangled has been doing very well and just published a book targeted toward companies looking to do more with their websites. “We’re planning on staying here for many years to come,” O’Brien said. “Carrboro is a great base of operation for us.”

Carrboro Creative Coworking owner Brian Russell, who has worked with a number of technology businesses that got their start in shared spaces at his coworking facility, said because Internet-based businesses have more choice in where their companies are located, owners often base their decisions on qual- ity of life and values – which has led many of them to Carrboro. “It really boils down to quality of life,” Russell said. “I think a lot of these folks want to live in communities that are thinking about being sustainable and global climate change.” Internet businesses springing up in Carrboro has helped other businesses – including those not focused on the web – that sometimes need their services. “Being in physical proximity to people makes it easier for them to do busi- ness with each other. It lowers barriers. … It makes trust greater,” Russell said. “Small-town trust and knowledge is very desirable to people who are used to a high-tech lack of trust.” Joel Sutherland, one of the founders of full-service web agency New Media Campaigns, said Carrboro has been the right choice for his company. The company launched in 2006 when its three founders won UNC’s busi- ness-plan challenge as undergraduates. Though NMC’s first office was located in RTP, the founders quickly moved it to Chapel Hill and then to Carrboro in 2007, drawn by the independent culture, affordable rent and great restaurants. “Carrboro has been a wonderful place to do business as the creative indus- try is really booming here, and the Triangle in general has become a center for innovation,” he said.

Resource & Visitors’ Guide: 2011 - 2012 Buying Local Matters You keep dollars in our local economy. For every $100 you spend at a locally owned business, $68 stays in our community. Spend that same $100 at a chain store and only $43 stays local. You embrace and promote Carrboro’s distinctive character. One-of-a-kind businesses add personality to our town. You fuel local job creation. Local businesses create more employment opportunities and higher- wage jobs. You help the environment. Shopping closer to home and buying local products conserves energy and resources in the form of fuel and packaging. You nurture our community. Nonprofit organizations receive an average of 350 percent more support from local businesses than from non-local ones. You conserve tax dollars. Buying locally instead of online or outside the county ensures that sales taxes are reinvested here. You create more choice for consumers. Supporting locally owned businesses sustains a variety of enterprises catering to many different tastes. Marianne Jones, owner of Auto Logic You take advantage of local expertise. Customer service is better in local businesses because they are owned by people who know our community, are less likely to leave it and are more invested in your satisfaction and success. You support local entrepreneurs. Carrboro’s entrepreneurial ventures are the foundation of a strong, diversified and sustainable economy. You contribute to Carrboro’s reputation as a destination. Local support of unique shops, restaurants and entertainment venues enables these enterprises to continue to draw people from around the country to Carrboro.

25 Carrboro Community Resource & Visitors’ Guide: 2011 - 2012 Carrboro Plaza Diversity and convenience on the edge of town
Carrboro Plaza has been a landmark at Carrboro’s western gateway since 1985.

Built in 1985, Carrboro Plaza has been a thriving part of this community for nearly three decades. With 28 tenants, the shopping center is host to a wide variety of businesses and services, with plenty of parking. Visitors to the shop- ping center can hit the gym at Curves, pick up groceries at Food Lion, sample Mexican pastries at Panadería Pahuatlan II or grab a pizza from Anna Maria’s – all within minutes of downtown Carrboro. Bill Soeters, owner of the UPS Store, says Carrboro Plaza Xiao McLinton, owner of Carrboro Family Clinic is the perfect spot for his store’s customers. “Carrboro Plaza is a very convenient place for all of Carrboro’s residents,” he said. “We have the big plus of the parking.” A number of businesses have been located at Carrboro Plaza for years – the Reece Insurance Agency, Anna Maria’s Pizzeria, Fashion Tailors, the North Carolina DMV and Food Lion are among the longest-tenured tenants. In recent years, the shopping center has become markedly more di- verse, with the addition of Mikyin’s Asian Market, La Co- operativa Latina (the Latino community credit union) and a number of other businesses.
