Northside
From the paper:
This party honors Mary Norwood Jones, the neighborhood activist who
died in February. She would regularly walk the streets picking up
litter, and she organized neighborhood watch meetings in the Northside
neighborhood. On Tuesday, neighbors will walk the streets celebrating
cleaner streets and first-time homebuyers. Afterward, there's a moon
bounce. The party will be at the Hargraves Community Center at 216 N.
Roberson St. at 6:30 p.m.

I just read the
N&O report that the Chapel Hill Carrboro School Board voted last night to site elementary school number eleven in Northside neighborhood between Caldwell and McMasters streets, and I couldn't be happier.
[I stand corrected! See comments. The border shown is the pre-1967 line. Edits below. -RS]
Thanks to the Chapel Hill News for publishing the Hidden Voices walking tour of downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In today's paper there was also a map, which they seem to have wisely chosen not to publish online, that showed the points of interest on the tour. It also showed a completely made up historic border between Chapel Hill and Carrboro, as if someone just took a ruler and made a nice straight line from North Greensboro & Pleasant to Cameron & Roberson!
Someone needs to let them know that all of Broad Street is in Carrboro, while all of Graham Street and the entire Pine Knolls neighborhood are in Chapel Hill. This is especially relevant in a discussion of the history of the area.
