Not so many years ago every high school had vocational classes. Students weren’t divided into fast track and slow track, although there were AP courses and regular courses. Everyone knew who the tough teachers were. And everyone knew that Joe was a good mechanic, Eddie a good math student, and Sue excellent in history. There […]
The five Republicans running for the North Carolina Senate seat in District 41 met Tuesday evening May 1 for a candidate forum at Cornelius Town Hall.

I’ve often shared the story of my daughter, Julia. My little princess is a beautiful girl who loves music, cookies, the ocean, and summer breezes.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a broadsheet flip-flop quite so aggressively as Charlotte’s uptown paper jettisoning its support of Jim Pendergraph in the 9th Congressional District Republican primary. The Observer was initially all-aboard the Pendergraph express when he was schmoozing the paper’s editorial braintrust with talk about embracing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants […]
After serving two terms on the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners representing the largely suburban, GOP-leaning District 5, Republican Neil Cooksey decided to not seek reelection and leaves some big shoes to fill. Four candidates from the Right side of the aisle square off to advance from the May 8 primary: Matthew Ridenhour, Sarah Cherne, […]
I read a great story today about a young man who bought a house but apparently did not know that he had to pay for it. The gentleman said that in 2006, at the height of the housing bubble, he bought a house for $380,000. Two years later the value on his house had dropped […]
