I'm glad Greensboro managed to get some of those projects off the ground before this pandemic hit. Although the debut performances have been postponed, the new performing arts center in particular is definitely going to be a game-changer for downtown.

The only thing that unifies everyone is a shared hatred of the pig-farming areas in eastern parts of the state. Most of the state's most powerful politicians come from that area, and the rest of us just hate the way state money flows unimpeded to that part of the state before it goes anywhere else.

Poor Unifour...just left behind...home alone like Kevin McCallister, except the whole family went on their overseas trip and back and no one even realized they were missing.
But these days, it seems like it's just Charlotte and the Triangle ribbing each other over superficial differences but collectively looking down on the rest of the state, minus Asheville and Wilmington, with a mixture of indifference and pity.
