The Exchange: Wilmington local Sam Fleishman (Bike rider) asks Dana Page (City Council Candidate) a question about bike paths.
From Sam Flieshman–Sunday, 11/1/09 at 12:02 pm

WHQR’s news feed is already here, but this seems especially important.
From Catherine Welch, Morning Edition host, and WHQR 91.3 fm
Starting October 1, plastic bottles will be banned from the landfill.

Local musicians have a new hope coming their way in the next few months as far as regional recognition. WHQR 91.3 FM–whose signal reaches all the way north to Jacksonville, west to I-95, and south to N. Myrtle Beach–will soon begin recording for a new forum at which local musicians will be performing live, Soup [...]
When I got home on Tuesday I could hear the music at Legion Stadium in the distance. It was sunny and warm outside, and nothing makes watering the garden more fun than the common 80’s montage you get with minor league baseball. O you know, a little Bon Jovi circa big-hair and Alan Jackson twanging [...]
After several emails, a couple of phone calls, and a weekend spent listening to their new self-titled demo, I had the chance to sit down with Adam Forsythe and Tiffany Reece of Wilmington’s own Barnraisers.
