The Mill: 8/30/07

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Staff

WCOM radio host Tom Arnel says he’s set up a series of “musical debates” with candidates for Carrboro Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Arnel’s 5-6 p.m. Saturday slot called “The Placeholder Show” will features the candidates spinning discs and, perhaps in some cases, just plain spinning. That’s 103.5 on your FM dial.
Here’s the lineup:
Sept. 1: Katrina Ryan & Chuck Morton
Sept. 15: Joal Hall Broun & Sharon Cook
Sept. 22: Dan Coleman & Mark Chilton
Sept. 29: Lydia Lavelle & Frank Abernathy
Oct. 13: Brian Voyce

Speaking of radio, WCHL is going all out in broadcasting local high school football games. At Chapel Hill High’s opener, ‘CHL’s Johnny Jones even took to the stands with a wireless mic to interview a proud Tiger parent mid-game.

Following the moves of other local music clubs, Local 506 is experimenting with new smoking rules intended to keep tobacco clouds from the main event room.

Smoking is still allowed up front in the bar area. Owner Glenn Boothe has been polling patrons about making the ban complete.

Katrina Ryan, who is running for the Board of Aldermen, has opened a gelato store called Sugarland in the former Julian’s space in the 100 block of Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.

Tall man, short answer.
The answer to the recently asked question, “Hey, wasn’t that tall fellow who just walked by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?” is yes. We have it on good authority that the all-time scoring leader of the National Basketball Association (38,387 points), recently spent some time in our fair town. And that’s all we’ll say about that.

Hat tips to OrangePolitics.org, alt.music.chapel-hill, anonymous basketball fan, Ron Stutts and Johnny Jones.
