North Carolina’s Amendment 1 passes; plainly mean-spirited and reckless
Funny how the most educated places in North Carolina voted overwhelmingly against a measure that is plainly mean-spirited and recklessly harmful to not just gay people, but anyone who chooses to live with a partner without getting married. It’s also odd that the people who voted for this amendment tend to be the ones who occupy the same political space as those for whom “less government” is a full-blown belief system. And it’s also curious that in a country that is most definitely not a theocracy, we’re still passing laws with justifications that amount to “because my God says so”.

CLT Blog: Food Truck Frenzy!
My buddy, Eric, and I have a totally unconfirmable theory that Charlotte, NC, is six months behind the U.S.’s coastal cultures, and the food truck boom here is doing nothing to dispel that notion. Besides our radio stations only getting around to playing Gotye, like, a month ago, the locals are only just getting around to appropriating the joys of mobile food dispensaries.
Keep in mind: West Coast cities have already gone through the full food truck pop culture cycle.
Hiller is not alone in feeling that what was once an exciting, underground food scene driven by a punk rock aesthetic and an exploratory mentality is swiftly becoming a mainstream, bottom-line-obsessed maze of infighting and politics.
