It's time to hang the "Closed sign" up on TMW.
Hello Vegas Valley View. Yes, Vegas...as in Las Vegas!

Thank you, Greensboro, for the memories.

S1004 will be in the Public Utilities Committee tomorrow and for the first time I don't have to worry about it. The Senate used a procedural rule to gut the bill and replace all text with new text that allows Progress Energy to convert some of it's Coal fired plants to Natural Gas.
The [sic] is not a mere mention of cable, municipalities, Time Warner, none of it.
HB1252 is still alive and I will track it as always.
For now we can all claim another victory against Big Cable!
A reader has brought to my attention a story about the 2009 City Council elections.One should note the discussion of the District 4 race. Challengers Joel Landau, and to a much lesser extent, Teresa Jobe, are given favorable ink. Incumbent Mary Rakestraw is not...Watch for sympathetic, positive portrayals of Joel Landau in particular; and watch for, at best, the absence thereof for Mary Rakestraw.
And when this happens, we need to point it out as best we can.
...it would be a mistake to give the voters too much credit in a place like Greensboro-- particularly when the media does not do its job well in terms of covering candidates and elections.

I agree.
The new YES! Weekly is sleek, clean and more sophisticated in its appearance than we ever thought it could be.
I think it looks like Rolling Stone, before it got tiny.
Big props go out to the new design team — Art Director Lindsay Emeigh, Ashleigh Waters and Loren Bailey — who logged some pretty serious hours on this project.
And kudos to Publisher Charles Womack, who was bold enough to drive this redesign through and see it home.
Don't worry — YES! Weekly still has the same great content from the same great writers, but we look a whole lot prettier.
