Have you seen the issue yet? Let us know what you think in the comments - we love feedback, good and bad!
Also, this issue's cover represents a first for us at Chapel Hill Magazine: something different from every other cover we've ever featured. It goes beyond simple font or color changes. Do any of you longtime CHM fans know what it is? The first two to guess correctly will get a coupon from staff favorite Evos for free airfries and a drink. Good luck!

You've added a bar code! Must mean wider distribution. Congrats!
I'm flattered to be quoted in the stories column in the May/June issue:
" It didn't help when protesters learned that Alderman Gerry Cohen, who was to inspect the proposed conÂstruction site, was given the wrong address and therefore inspected a vacant lot across the street."
I have absolutely no recollection of this tale. I suppose it could be true. Freddie, was this in a clip from the Chapel Hill Weekly? In any case, there was no vacant lot across the street. I think the old Burger Chef, which became Breadmen's, was across the street.
I remember talking to the developer, who told me he had to cut the trees down to get maximum value from the lot because it was so expensive. I tried explaining that some of the value CAME from what was at the time a West Rosemary streetscape that had LOTS of trees. No luck.
