Come
to the Horace Williams House for a fun night. Food, music, auction of
original artworks - all going to benefit the restoration of Chapel
Hill's murals. The theme is blue. Blue drinks, blue food, blues music.
We're hoping to raise funds to restore the first mural painted in
Chapel Hill, the "Starry Night" a pointillism interpretation of
Franklin Street at night.
http://www.chapelhillpreservation.com/blue.htmIt is part of the ongoing Painted Walls Project that seeks to save Chapel Hill's unique landmarks.

There were two articles in the CHH today on the services and improvements that the historic Rogers Road neighborhood has long been lacking.
http://www.heraldsun.com/orange/
For the Historic Rogers Road neighborhood it appears that the neighborhood's role as the garbage receptacle for Orange County may be coming to an end. However vigilance is still required because it ain't quite over yet.
The long sought after services and neighborhood improvements are not anywhere in sight. Over the decades there has been no lack of talk, task forces, official pronouncements of support, planning committees, lists etc... Almost nothing concrete has ever come of all this.
The neighborhood is split into multiple jurisdictions complicating any chance of real progress and offering ready made excuses to all the jurisdictions for failure to act. As with most other things it also boils down to money and with the current economic environment it gets even more difficult.
