Fries

Does anyone know anywhere with fresh (not frozen) tolerable french fries that aren’t twice/thrice dipped in ancient oil that tastes of beasts of the air, ground, and sea? I will pay top dollar.

Famers markets

Hi!

Just moved to the area and was wondering what famers markets are in Hillsborough or nearby? I grew up in Raleigh where there are multiple farmers markets around the city but would rather go to a market closer by.

Could Hillsborough be about to lose something we can't get back?

A few months ago, I started looking into the future of the Beard Farm in Meadowlands. What I discovered surprised me.

This wasn't just an old farmhouse.

It was home to Duke physicians Dr. Joseph and Dorothy Beard -- prominent scientists that made significant contributions, and later became a place of hospice and bereavement care. For decades, it has been part of Hillsborough's story.

Today, the property is under contract for redevelopment. Unless plans change, the farmhouse, red barn, and many of the mature trees could all be lost.

To be clear, I'm not against development. We need housing. But I keep coming back to one question:

Do we really have to lose everything?

I've spoken with the developer, preservation groups, and town officials because I believe it's worth asking whether there's a way to build while preserving at least part of what makes this place special.

What do you think? Have you seen examples where historic buildings were successfully incorporated into new development?

If you think this property deserves one more thoughtful look before demolition, I'd appreciate your support:

Lost yellow pet bird found!

I know nothing about birds or what type he is, but he is at a horse farm off St Mary’s rd. I’ve been trying to catch him for an hour. Let me know if you are missing him and I’ll give you more details
