Happy March! I think it’s coming in like a lion, but that’s just me. One thing I’m bring in March with is our first annual reader’s survey.
Some of you come here from my Facebook or Twitter. Some of you also read The Black Urbanist (which I promise is coming back soon). You are made of many shapes and colors and you’re interested in what’s going on in North Carolina.
I know that in my head, but I want to make the record official. Also, I plan on bringing ads, more explainers and some other paid services and objects to this space this year. I want to make sure that’s what you want and will support too. So take a moment and fill the survey out. I’ll have a link to it up for the entire month of March. (Also, unless you want to advertise on the site, all answers are annoymous).
And with that, here’s your first batch of North Carolina news for March.
