obsessed with this horrifying, evocative landfill dispatch very @ccourtneybohl.bsky.social: “All the while, flocks of migratory birds whirl overhead, noshing on trash. Depending on the season you can spot rock pigeons, eagles, Canada geese, starlings, and turkey vultures.”

Zebulon's Board of Commissioners has been short a member since June, when Beverly Clark resigned in protest and called for "a whole board and mayor." The remaining commissioners don't seem to be in any rush to replace her. My latest on the small-town government meltdown for @indyweek.bsky.social:

Last week the Raleigh City Council removed two planning commissioners who were eligible to keep serving. Usually, commissioners who show up to meetings get reappointed. But that wasn’t the case for Reeves Peeler, who says he still doesn’t fully understand why the council gave him the boot.

Developers originally promised 10% affordable units in the residential tower they’re building next to Union Station. Now they want to contribute $1.5 million to the city’s affordable housing efforts instead. Is it a fair trade-off? New for @indyweek.bsky.social:
