UNC Community - Joe Van Gogh Cafe Closure Roper Hall

Looking for interviews for The DTH about Joe Van Gogh café closing in Roper Hall Hi everyone, I’m working on a story for The Daily Tar Heel about the closure on May 29 of the Joe Van Gogh café in Roper Hall. I’m still looking to speak with UNC students, faculty, staff, or visitors who have used the café and are willing to interview with me over Zoom about what the space has meant to them, how the closure might affect daily life around the UNC School of Medicine, and any other thoughts about the closure. If you’re open to participating, please DM me. I’m happy to work around your schedule this week, and even a brief interview would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Asheville Residents Who Missed Public Comment - Public Comment Rules

REPORTER REQUEST: Looking to speak with someone who was not able to give public comment on RTIC REPORTER REQUEST: Looking to speak with someone who was not able to give public comment on RTIC Hi, Asheville Politics. I'm a freelance reporter with Mountain Xpress and I covered the May 13 meeting when Asheville City Council accepted a grant to fund a real time intelligence center (RTIC) for APD, extend a contract with Axon and start a contract with Fusus. As many of you have no doubt heard, there was a long list of people who who signed up for public comment on the issue. Mayor Manheimer announced at the beginning of the meeting that public comment would be cut off after one hour. However, by the time public comment on the RTIC issue began, many people who had previously been "outside" the gallery in the hallway were now inside in the gallery, and may not have heard the mayor's remarks about the one-hour cut off. For that (and many other reasons), lots of people were extremely upset about not having a chance to speak during public comment that night. I'm looking to speak with individuals who waited until the public comment period about RTIC issues and were unable to speak after the one-hour time period was up. I'm looking to speak with you about your thoughts on public commenting rules, NOT your thoughts on the APD or the RTIC. I can be reached at jessica dot wakeman at gmail dot com. Thank you in advance.

Parents in Leander - Experiences Navigating Childcare Access

Leander increases in-home daycare capacity up to 6 children, rejects expanded proposal Hi all! My name is Hamera and I cover Leander City Council for Community Impact. Recently, Leander's Planning and Zoning Commission approved an increase in the number of children in-home daycares in residential neighborhoods can supervise (from 5 children to 6). However, the matter still needs to go before city council. I'd love to hear from parents in Leander about their experiences navigating childcare in the area. Feel free to DM with your thoughts!
