You live in a nice neighborhood in Greensboro and find out that someone living in close proximity to your home has a 16-year-old child that belonged to a gang. Fortunately the child has been able to split ties with the gang… but now other gang members aren’t happy about the split and do frequent drive by [...]

While glancing at the News & Record’s site this morning I was disappointed to see that a man was stabbed while attempting to prevent a robbery in his home and that a 16-year-old robbed the Subway on High Point Road last night.

Well, I Tried my Best

October 6, 2009

Well, I didn’t quite make the cut in the city council primary. Of course I had hoped for a better result, but it simply wasn’t meant to be.
What I can say is that without a shadow of a doubt I am happy with the campaign and the effort that was put forth. The mix of [...]
