  1. @jcbarr Thank you! (...and goodnight.)
  2. @kcs_tarheel Agreed. My mom took me to Durham city council mtgs when I was a kid. I was bored at the time, but it made a big impression.
  3. @edegnan No worries. You & @citizenwill raise good questions abt public/private deals. Looking forward 2 an interesting #chtc discussion Wed
  4. @edegnan "The space left vacant by the move would be sublet by CH, in a partnership with OC & UNC, for use as a small business incubator."
  5. @lucaswj @brianr @twentytil9 Don't know what your selection criteria are, but I'd vote for Willy Wonka (classic version) & Princess Bride.
  6. . @chccs bd is leaning toward maintaining Mandarin as-is & turning FPG into Spanish magnet. But no final vote until June 7. #dual_language
  7. Still a sizeable crowd for #dual_language discussion. @chccs
  8. Now admin & bd discusses @chccs #dual_language report. Mandarin 1st, then Spanish.
  9. . @mburroughs47 & @chccs bd moved thru public comment swiftly, despite malfunctioning timer & light system @ town hall @chapelhillgov
  10. There are 56 people signed up to speak to the @chccs Board of Ed about the #dual_language program. That's at least 2 hrs of comments.
  11. @porchnik Nope. Just a big bowl o' bad idea. But aren't you inspired to whip up a batch?
  12. @porchnik Gin chowder. Or, I dunno, something with a cherry. For the vitamins.
  13. . @terribuck is doing a great job tweeting the consultants presentation, if you want to play along at home. #CHTC
  14. Not many ppl here for the #CHTC report on solid waste disposal. Who's watching at home?
  15. @pinhole_platen Congratulations!! And best wishes to your sister & BIL.
  16. @johnmoe Seriously- it's not about headlines.If you'd read the book you'd know that scene was crucial. #FartCop
  17. @pinhole_platen Don't leave. Stay and fight.
  18. @jcbarr Where?
