• Fresh produce, fresh air

  We had someone else’s paper delivered to us this morning in a rain sleeve. I’m glad we did. We’re about to resubscribe to the paper after a long period of thinking it’s just too much paper, especially with no curb-side recycling in our area (yet; we’re working on it).
  There’s an interesting, high-level editorial from Thomas […]

• At Home with the Barnraisers

  

  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.

• Goddess on the Mountain Top

  

  The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) occurs naturally only within a 100 mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. Which is wonderful boasting rights for our state, but that limited range of distribution has put the little meat eater in danger.

  We were contacted by a website the other day with what looks like a good idea:

  They’ve found and registered Grove Project and I’ve verified that it crawls the content here.
  Good stuff!

• “Killer Diller”

  Ben Steelman discusses local novelist and UNCW staffer Clyde Edgerton’s book “Killer Diller” in a recent post to his Star News books blog. Edgerton is busy with a new novel, the movie rights to Killer Diller and some other projects.
  I think I made a mistake reading Killer Diller last year as my Edgerton foray. Because […]

• Bistro Blonde reviews local restaurants

  WWAY site blogger Bistro Blonde reviews local restaurants, has a recent one about Cosmo’s Italian.
  About Bistro Blonde:

  As a self proclaimed “eater”, (please, please spare me the word foodie!) I shall earnestly endeavor to keep everyone updated on new eateries opening and old faves changing their menus. No food or beverage shop will be safe! Well, […]
