When Bambi ceases to be cute

By Sam Perkins | October 27

I have come to think that if Michael Vick had been running a deer-fighting ring, even PETA would have been tempted to place a bet and cheer on. Deer — the 300-pound equivalent of a squirrel sans agility — have become a major fear (Halloween costume?) in Chapel Hill, home to as many as 700 deer.

Give drivers consideration: Chapel Hill Transit drivers are entitled to the best work conditions, and those conditions should be met

By Editorial Board | October 27

Chapel Hill Transit should take bus driver complaints about lunch and bathroom breaks seriously and work with drivers to craft a policy that meets both driver and passenger needs.

Love is more than just a bagel

By Saffa Khan | October 26

Next, please! One sun-dried tomato bagel with cream cheese and hot sauce. Toasted? Yes, please. For here or to go? To go. This little exchange costs me $2.53 every single time, but it’s always worth it. When you’re starved, and ravaged by hunger, where do you go? To “the Alps,” as I like to call it.
