The sign will be here tomorrow. We are happy to be in the Buxton Clinic building, which is actually a house molded to the Chiropractic offices. The walls are plaster or stucco and hard as rock. You can swing from the racks and with all the clothes hanging from them, it’s just as well. View Lar...

I needed to have 2 sheets of OSB and some standards from Rubenesque waiting for the Wife’s brother when he arrived at 8, er 9, this morning. The rest of the day was spent taking down standards and slatwall from Rubenesque and shuttling them to the new location. If you don’t know what sta...

I hit the new digs hard this morning with my shop vac and the drywall filter, then with a stand up. I was about halfway done when the Hoover carpet shampooer started acting up. So, while the Wife painted, I drove practically across the street to the Lowes on Battleground and rented one. The thing I ...

I’ve enjoyed almost 49 years without being personally subjected to the gum ball. That is at an end. Starting this afternoon, I will export every damn one of them from the property. Across the street, they’ve been going at it all day with a chainsaw and wood chipper. Therefore, a big honk...

He hasn’t been gone a day and already, I miss Mitch Johnson. Somehow, things don’t seem as safe and secure knowing he’s not there at the helm of Greensboro. The torch and pitchfork club are well drunk by now, having made it a holiday. But I’ve got news for you. City Council b...

Despite the partying in the street, the Simkins PAC maintains its control of Greensboro politics. Perkins knows it. Methany and Anderson Groat are about to find out. Scooter Sanders and Tom Fox are getting their pay restored and have returned to duty. Mitch Johnson is demoted, but still employed. Re...

Is it a coinkydink I can’t get through a week without reading the comments of Perkins the Paver in the N&R ? One would have reason to believe not. Are we to be constantly reminded of Robbie’s courageous leadership? What about the valiant service of his fellow councilman, the vapid b...

The Wife is currently morphing her better plus-size women’s retail and consignment businesses into one store, lessening overhead in an attempt to survive our currently reduced circumstances. She has sought to ameliorate the challenges of competition with specialization and diversification. To ...
