Well! Aren't we the selfish elitist neighborhood?

First, we are criticized because we don't want a conduit from crime central going right through our back yards. Now it seems that we are selfish because we don't want Providence Road Traffic diverted through our neighborhood. Check out this article from the Charlotte Observer.

Take a good look at these two handsome young men. They are suspected of burgling a home on Sharon Road.

From L.D:

...the criminals who broke into our house (well, had our stuff and most certainly also committed the robbery).They are Franklin Gerald Alexander and Larry Ronald Wagner.They were in a gray/silver small Nissan pick-up truck with Alabama tag...They were still in jail yesterday, but the police expect them to be released very soon.The sergeant is coming by this morning to have me sign a statement saying they were not authorized to have our stolen goods (duh!)...then he will present this to the district attorney,and ask him to charge them with breaking and entering in addition to possession of stolen goods.

Many events in the near future. Keep checking back. The Latin Festival at the Mint, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Halloween...
