The Remarkable Story of the Drive to Preserve Nina Simone's Childhood Home How a group of artists came together to save and restore the tiny three-room, 660-square-foot house in Tryon that Nina Simone grew up in.

If you go searching for the childhood homes of many other Black artists and activists of the twentieth century—W.E.B. Du Bois, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X—you’ll find only a placard on a street corner. That Simone’s home has survived time and gentrification feels close to a miracle.

Like the Nation, North Carolina’s Airport Towers Are Understaffed A review of the latest data shows the state’s largest airports are hurting for air traffic controllers, a federal job that’s recently come under scrutiny.

As of the latest data available, North Carolina's six FAA-staffed air towers had just 178 certified air traffic controllers.

Combined, that's 57 air traffic controllers short of meeting an industry agreed-upon standard.

There are still 80 vehicles in Asheville waterways following Helene, according to the city's Solid Waste manager in a press conference just now.

That's down from 978 vehicles, boats, campers and trailers immediately after Helene.

At a conference with a bunch of higher ed leaders and board members, and it’s funny—so many folks use presentation sessions as time to quietly, eagerly plow through email and messages. Sometimes it’s nice to catch up. Probably a quarter of people here are all-in on their phones.

This morning, I finished sipping my coffee and simply breathing deeply while staring at the little drone video in the middle of a forest that my Macbook puts on when I lock it but leave the screen open. So. Tuesday.

Good rundown 🔗ed ⬇️⬇️

As Bryan says, The NC Sup Ct said--go to Wake Sup. Ct before you come here

Regardless of the lower court decision, this is almost certain to end up back at NCSC again on appeal. & when it does, Berger & Barringer don't sound happy 👀⤵️

Plus, the 4th circuit

Long ways to go
