The Noonish report

Yeah, noon-ish. It’s Sunday after all.

Couple of interesting stories out there including this shocking headline in the CHN: Carrboro trying to manage growth. Here’s the agenda item and additional materials from the meeting (pdf) on guidelines for a development moratorium. If you’ve got time, you can see the discussion of this at 1 hour and 52 minutes into the Board of Aldermen meeting on Dec. 5. You can click the photo to start the RealPlayer. (You’ll have to scroll to 1:52 on yer own.)

Also worth checking out in the CHN is Will’s column about Chapel Hill’s missed opportunities.

Meanwhile,

The Herald has a story about the decreasing number of new courses being created in the schools and another story about public health officials still looking for the source of the recent e. coli outbreak.
