  • Carolina North: Chancellor Hooker Friday, December 8, 1995

    I’ve recently been reviewing some of my old links covering the evolution of UNC’s Carolina North development.

  • Next Exit: UNC

    The construction of a special I-40 interchange for Carolina North has been a persistent rumor. Over the last 5 years, I heard UNC officially deny any such plan more than a dozen times. The last time for me, I believe, was when UNC’s liason to the Horace Williams Citizen’s Committee (HWCC) said she hadn’t heard […]

  • Chafing: Prevention and Treatment

    From today’s Rob Shapard Herald-Sun article covering a Carolina North “October surprise” : The Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday for a resolution that set the October ’07 date a day after trustees chafed at the pace of the latest Carolina North committee and said they were keen to “get off the dime” and get […]

I drafted the original response, which was further refined by myself and Joe Capowski and finally tightened up and approved by the whole of the HWCC. MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Comments on UNC January 25, 2006 letter and attachment […]

  • Whining at the cows…

    I wanted to add the following to the HWCC’s final memorandum to Council. We remind the Council of the scope of work proposed by the HWCC in January and suggest that the Council recognize the necessary lead time required to reconstitute a citizen’s group to explore the issues in that proposal. The decision-making apparatus of […]
