Mr. Friday was a great supporter of the museum and championed preserving Chapel Hill’s history whenever possible. The Fridays were greatly disappointed to see the museum not become a town entity and shared the rest of the museum’s community’s great sadness when necessary financial assistance was not forthcoming.

In last Sunday’s paper (Oct. 21), I saw two disturbing letters. One was anti-capitalist and the other was anti-Israel. Both are positions taken by radical leftists, and are in direct – even violent – opposition to America’s true values.

I have a confession to make, I am a former smoker. I started in college, under the stress of academics and because I was in the presence of secondhand smoke that beckoned me every day. I quit when my husband and I were ready to start a family, but I knew better, even before I became a public health professional.

I want to thank the Chapel Hill News for its balanced editorial on Johnny’s in Carrboro. I have lived very near Johnny’s for the last five years and think it’s fairly clear that the vast majority of the neighborhood supports some accommodation.

Some 70 years ago, 15 million of us Americans donned uniforms and destroyed a dictator whose power had originally been based on the defamation and destruction of Jews. How, then, am I to understand why today’s press often mimic Hitler’s propaganda machine, by frequently ignoring attacks on Israeli civilians, and then emphasizing Israel’s attempts to stop these terrorist travesties?

I have just finished reading today’s paper and want to take moment to thank the Chapel Hill News for having the insight and sensitivity to invite Viv Taylor to write for My View (CHN, Sept. 26). She clearly has much to teach all of us about how to be kind, how to care about others and how to accept the great diversity of human nature.

Johnny’s current zoning is for a retail establishment, which was grandfathered into our 100 percent residential neighborhood. The land use ordinance (LUO) prohibits any change that may negatively impact neighbors. As such, music events and gatherings are a violation of their current zoning.

I read with interest your recent article about last week’s Town Council meeting on Obey Creek. I was pleased with the article’s objectivity, with one exception: the way it treated the expected traffic impact from this project.

So, retired UNC professor Leuchtenburg chooses to attack the messenger (CHN, Sept. 23, bit.ly/UuVfsI) that for years has been practicing Pulitzer Prize-level journalism by exposing corruption in North Carolina governance. Will elitists of this ilk never learn?

Your letters: Johnny’s: I did not attend the wine tasting mentioned in the complaint, but I happened upon it when I went over to Johnny’s to buy some milk. There were a few cars parked out front, but all was quiet on the outside. Inside was a small but vibrant, happy gathering of people. I cannot imagine what harm this event could have possibly caused the community.

The concept plan for Obey Creek presented to the CDC on Aug. 15 (CHN, Aug. 29, bit.ly/Srhl3S) doesn’t even come close to the criteria developed by the S15-501 Discussion group and implemented into the Town’s Comprehensive plan.
