sharing these stories. There are far too many children in CLT suffering under remote learning and @CMSboard needs to increase their urgency around getting kids back in the classroom. Tweet from @roseherring
To: “Disconnection,” p. 17 Excellent reporting @jared_misner! Please keep
I know an impoverished family who only received one hot spot from their school. It
only supports one child at a time so the other child gets counted as absent. This is not ok. CMS needs to do better. Facebook comment by Katie Miller To: “What Uptown’s Treloar House Teaches Us,” p. 26 I’ve always wondered about this building. Thank you for publishing work of
this nature and making it available for public access. Facebook comment by Sophia-Wynne Greulich So interesting. Hope they find a way to preserve and use it as part of a larger development on that huge empty lot. Facebook comment by Patrick Rainwater
“Dinner Reservations,” Kathleen Purvis’ piece on restaurateur Jim Noble’s conservative politics and their significance in an evolving city (p. 13), inspired a flood of widely divergent reactions. A sampling: Hard to believe his review probably just hating on owner. Like this lady is. It would be nice just to hear about the food and not get a liberal lecture. Tweet from @skhentigan (In response) It’s not a review at all. Thought that was obvious and I also thought it was fair. I’ll re-read it but did not see where she offered an opinion on Nobles views. More that she pointed out the changing demo of this city and how others react to his views. Tweet from @RocknCarolina When Nobles restaurant hosted a rally for trump, I mentioned my disgust to my daughter who told me that years ago she & my son in law volunteered for something at one of his restaurants & were asked to sign a disclaimer stating marriage is only between a male & female. Tweet from @kempklc
Our household does not do business with homophobes— especially homophobes who cloak their bigotry in their cherry-picked version of Christianity. Mr. Noble needs to be reacquainted with the basic tenets of the faith he claims. Facebook comment by Barbara Parke Never will step foot in one of his places. Much better locally owned restaurants (without the hate) could use the free press. Tweet from @RealHavis This is one of the best articles I’ve read... *checks notes* um... it would seem ever... Journalism y’all Tweet from @CLTdevelopment So glad to read the first few paragraphs of this article so I will never spend another dollar at one of his restaurants. Tweet from @mikbre
This has to be one of the worst articles of all time. Tweet from @ac_chillin1 I love his restaurants, Roosters is one of my favorites and the man does so much good for the community. I don’t care what his religious beliefs are, it’s America he has a right to believe what he wants to. Facebook comment by David Glass Maybe if he didn’t cheerlead/fundraise for #whitesupremacist, #racist & #homophobic politicians as well as have have a horrible takes on helping others out during the #pandemic people would actually want to eat at his establishments. He made his stance crystal clear. Tweet from @AliciaLalone
