COMMENTARY

I live beside Back Creek in Faires Farm in old Newell just a mile from UNC Charlotte and have spent the last 20 years learning from and writing about my great neighbors in University City. I now am columnist and reporter for Neighbors of University City. I cover dining, people and neighborhoods. Since all news is local, all news is about people, and I love to eat, I guess I've got it covered. I welcome your calls and emails, even if you are upset about something. In fact, especially when you are upset about something. E-mail me or call me at these numbers: 704-358-6014 (w) or 704-574-0603 (c).
