Reagan’s Words Still Relevent
It is simply amazing how history repeats itself and how the heroes that supported the cause of American liberty in times past can once again see their words find equal relevance today. Friends, take the advice of Ronald Reagan from this speech. Write your Congressman. Write your Senators. Call them. Email them. Show up at […]

CMS Dropout Rate A Fuzzy Snapshot
While the uptown paper of record was busy with headlines touting a marginal dip in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ dropout rate, which fell from 5.9 to 5 percent last year, a less flattering assessment of the situation flew under the radar: How many CMS students are actually making it through the system to graduate?

To wit: The U.S. Postal […]
Charlotte’s Urban Apocalypse
Always-vigilant HouseGuest columnist Tom Ashcraft spotted Charlotte popping up in The Huffington Post, which riffed on a fascinating video featuring the Queen City. The stop-action paper animation film, produced by Rob Carter, plays out a futuristic version of Charlotte’s rise and fall.
