The Boogey Man's blog: "Come get some"

Front Page News

Hey guys check out the front page of my local paper at this site http://www.aconews.com/noc/. This deals with the redevelopment that is happening where I live, and also be sure to check the Editorial under opinions on the left.

Meeting with the press

Well tonight was the big meeting with the local paper. Went pretty well, and I think we learned from them just as much as they did from us. Personally I think there are some shady dealings going on with this development deal. The town rejected a similar project just a short while ago because of water concerns, but they seem to be pushing this one through. Why? Same amount of homes being built, if not more. Should be the same issue with water, and it is from some inside info I got, yet it seems that this time it's being ignored. Hmm.. a little fishy, but not enough for suspicion on it's own. Well, let's add to that a rumor (and I stress rumor here) that someone has been paid off to push this deal through... and then theres the mobile home park down the street that recieved eviction notices 2 days after the proposal was made. Are you a bit suspicious yet? Yeah me too. One more rumor to add.. the people in the mobile home park are rumored to have been payed "relocation" money. Oooh.. this is getting good now huh? A few rumors, and and few facts and we got some shady sounding stuff going on here! I'll post more when I get some info.

Great news

Well guys, it looks like some good news on the horizon. My neighbors and I have an interview with the local newspaper on Wednesday. And today I received a e-mail from the mayor no less! He wants to set up communications so that we are all informed of the development plans and progress, this way we are not asked to move at the last minute with no where to go. Also he wants to set up a meeting and bring in some organizations that can help with relocating us understanding that some need to remain close to work because they walk there. I'll post more later.
Hello all. Looks like I finally found a use for my blog, or at least something worthy of posting anyway. I live in a small mobile home park in Daniel Boone Village in Hillsborough NC, and this development company wants to plow it all down. Small businesses, mobile homes, everything. They want to build a strip mall, town homes, and condominiums here. Why? There's an almost completely empty strip mall across the street. Condo's and town homes too. Why do they want to destroy people's homes to build some more when they can't fill what they have? We have so much construction going on here already. Why plow down about 30 or so people's homes when you don't need too? What are you going to build.. more empty buildings? To what purpose? People should always come first.. even the poor ones. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I believed them when they told me in school that my government was by the people and for the people. Don't remember it specifying rich business people only. Has it been rewritten and no one told me? They really should inform us of these little changes don't ya think? Anyway, there is hope that at least they will know we are here. We have banded together and will let anyone who'll listen know that this isn't right.
