Carrboro
In August 2011, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of North Carolina Foundation filed public records requests with all 100 North Carolina counties and all police departments in municipalities with populations larger than 30,000. The requests were part of a nationwide effort coordinated by the ACLU to determine under what circumstances law enforcement agencies are tracking cell phones. Both the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the Chapel Hill Police Department received the requests, and here's what the ACLU found.
From the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition's spring 2012 newsletter:
Join us at the newly-expanded Looking Glass Café at 601 W. Main St. on Friday, April 13, from 5:30 to 9:30. Ride your bike if you can! We’ll have food trucks and activities (including the bike blender for you to make your own smoothie), and we’ll once again be raffling off many great prizes from local merchants! We’ll have T-shirts to sell, and there’ll be music, too. The funds we raise will go toward several projects—see our "year in review" article to see what we've been up to so far, and what we hope to accomplish. We may have a cruiser ride after the fundraiser ends, so come prepared. Hope to see you there!

Join us on March 25 to help end hunger in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and around the world.
The Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk is a four-mile stroll through Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and the UNC campus, beginning and ending at the Carrboro Town Commons. Over the past quarter century, the event has become a festive community tradition and has raised over $1 million dollars to fund hunger relief programs both locally and around the world. 25% of the money raised goes to support the IFC's food programs in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The remainder is used by Church World Service for it's international hunger prevention efforts.
Registration begins at 1:30 at the Carrboro Town Commons. There is a silent auction during registration with final bids accepted until 3:30. The silent auction will include certificates from local restaurants and a pottery class from Good Earth Pottery and Garden.
The walk begins at 2:30. Activities and entertainment will be provided prior to the walk and snacks will be available afterwards.

Yesterday I received a call from a woman who lives in a tent she assembled in the woods east of the railroad tracks near land that Chapel Hill purchased from the estate of Leo Merritt. I have known her for several years and she has been a part of the downtown Carrboro community for a long time. I had mixed emotions about what she had to say. She is moving next month to be with another member of her family in a nearby state. On the one hand, I am happy for her that she will (presumably) have more formal housing arrangements, but on the other hand I will miss seeing her around Carrboro.
From CarrboroCitizen.com:
