What we have here is an intrusion into the neighborhood, and nobody saw fit to meet with us. Seems to us that you had a problem, but didn't anticipate the results and consequences.

The south Charlotte market has been an area of interest for us for quite some time,

Does it mean that being a Southerner no longer has any meaning? I don't think it does. It just has a very different kind of meaning.

My main objective is to let the community find out who their neighbor is, whether they're in Eastport or in Parole. Everything you hear on the radio doesn't really pertain to Annapolis, it pertains to what's going on in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. We want to open people's eyes to what's really going on in our neighborhood.

We feel the increases. Ain't too much you can do about it. Just pass it on. Most everything went up some.

It was under the radar for us. We didn't realize the implications. And it's serious because it's not really a fair test.
