“If she prevails, which she quite likely will, I feel like she will be able to do the job and I hope she will be able to represent the people of District 2.” Check out our story on a recount in the race for the Orange County Board of Commissioners seat:

Setting up. If you’re running or riding the greenway watch out!

If you are free today at 2, there is a James Taylor Birthday sing-a-long under or near the James Taylor Bridge, which has 0 parking nearby so we are curious how this will work. If you go, let us know!

Karen Stegman is projected to earn the Democratic nomination to the at-large seat for the Orange County Board of Commissioners after establishing a significant early lead. Read more here:

As someone raised in Rockingham County, it's been surreal to watch this hyperlocal feud hit state politics. Unofficial results have Page winning by 2, with ballots left to count. Get ready for the lawsuits. Background here for those interested: www.theassemblync.com/news/politic...

Just a note to let Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro know that Zephyr Coffee on 15-501 is ***VERY*** good. Excellent espresso drinks, and the ham and cheese croissant was outstanding. It’s in Patterson Place by Asian Bistro and the cigar shop. Definitely give them a try!
