Cannons and other noises

By David Hoggard | Published: February 27, 2005
This past Thursday, I arrived late to what was supposed to be the final meeting of the group of citizens who were assembled to help draft Greensboro’s new noise ordinance.  (2/10/05 draft here).  After all I had going on that day, I was quite pleased with myself when I waltzed into the meeting at 4:35 [...]

Weekly Roundup

By David Hoggard | Published: February 27, 2005
There are folks who have expressed an interest in commenting on the Aycock Neighborhood;s Strategic Plan.  I am confident the neighborhood’s Board of Directors, as well as the public at large, would like to hear such comments, but the neighborhood’s website is informational only and provides no mechanism for such input.   So… I invite comments and/or criticisms [...]

Fill in the blank

By David Hoggard | Published: February 25, 2005
I just went in to give a second reading to Mark Binker’s transcript of County Commissioner Alston’s comments from last night. In the second segment of the transcript, right after Alston characterized N&R reporter Matt Williams as being a racist, Binker transcribed what could be a very telling statement by the president of North Carolina’s NAACP. “See - for [...]

Allen Johnson has some well-deserved accolades for City Councilman Robbie Perkins. And a political prediction.

Another last word on Skip Alston’s charges

By David Hoggard | Published: February 25, 2005
Update 4:30p: Cone implores, “Skip. Stop. Please.” ************** It is now reported that Commissioner Skip Alston “stands by his remarks” about racism among Greensboro’s city staff.  (He also renews his charges of racism on the part of the editors and reporters of the N&R, but please, one thing at a time.  And besides, JR is defending his [...]
