Howdy OCSC folks. Thanks for the shoutout.
Got the official launch coming on Jan. 1 — not too early in the day. News and features as they happen with daily updates around noon. Still messing with the design and feeds from other sites. Have some fun with it. There’s already quite a few things to see. You might want to start by visiting a recent post with a couple of Doo-wop gospel tracks. It’s, you know, seasonal.
In non-in-house news,
• FYI: Holiday Trash Collection sked
• Eddy Landreth on the Heels’ D
• A look at Elizabeth Edwards’ online visits (including the welcome-to-the-neighborhood thread on OP).
• WRAL jumped on the CHPD’s report of immigration scammers:
Authorities said people are going door-to-door in neighborhoods with Hispanic residents. The victim is told that he or she has won a free English course. At a later date, additional materials, including workbooks and recorded media are taken to him and he is told that he is required to pay.
Police said when the victim said he does not want the course, he is told he will be arrested if he does not pay.
If you’re looking for more holiday distractions, over at The Cape Fear Mercury I’ve been posting a stream of photos and various field notes from this year’s travels around the state.
