  • Shady deal: Getting out of the sun down at the beach casts a cloud over North Carolina beach community. Public feedback was so negative, the town is reconsidering a proposed ban of cabanas.

    Quote:
    This year, town employees said, they have been carting away 10 to 12 pickup truckloads a week of items people leave on the beach.

    The Pony-Up Express: Charlotte finds itself looking for new alternatives to the HOV Lane.

    It's a HOT Lane.

    Quote:
    A HOT lane works like this: Drivers pay a variably priced toll that allows them to travel at a certain speed, usually at 50 mph. It might be $1 at 2 p.m. and $5 at rush hour.

    I don't think this would work on U.S. 278 in Bluffton.

    But buying your way past the hoi polloi would go over well here.
