High Point plans to make downtown more pedestrian friendly

HIGH POINT, N.C. -- Joseph Carver has lived in High Point for the past decade. He walks to work everyday, walks to the library and walks to visit his mom in her downtown apartment. "I just like to walk," Carver said. "I've always been an active person." Carver wishes more people would do the same by getting around on foot instead of driving. "People around here are crazy when it comes to driving so you have to be really careful," he said. The city is trying to encourage more people to walk around and a federally funded transportation plan shows how it can be done. "Not everyone has a car and you need access to the train depot, the transit facility, so providing safer more accessible sidewalks, bicycle lanes, it just improves the transportation network as a whole," High Point Transportation Planning Administrator Greg Venable said. One of the top suggestions looks at Main Street around the train depot. The recommendation is to carve out bik...

The rise of ‘three-car garage rock’

Image
In the summer of 1995, Doug Robb and his friends snuck into Agoura High School in the middle of the night. Dressed in all black, they found the set of portable stages their alma mater used for its commencement ceremonies and wheeled them through a dirt track and onto the beds of pickup trucks they’d borrowed for the occasion. The next day, they set up the foldout stages in Robb’s parents’ backyard to play their first show as Hoobastank, a metal- influenced band they’d formed about six months prior. Robb eventually returned the stages to the school, but not before using them during a massive rager that attracted teens and 20-somethings from all over the area. Among them were the then-unknown members of Incubus and Linkin Park—bands that, along with Hoobastank, would go on to produce some of the biggest hits of the next century. What could’ve easily been just another house party thrown by bored kids in a wealthy LA suburb turned out to be the beginning of a rock-music scene that was...

Office Section Of Building By Aquarium Sold By River City Company To High Point Climbing Group

The River City Company has sold the office section of the building at 2 Aquarium Way by the Tennessee Aquarium to Marquis Apartment Investors . Kim White of River City said the buyers are the operators of the nearby High Point Climbing and Fitness facility. She said they were in need of office space. The sales price was $890,000. River City Company had bought the building back from the now- defunct Chattanooga History Center in 2016 for $2.2 million. The History Center , under former director Daryl Black , had planned a history museum on the second floor, but it never opened. A group is currently raising funds to put the former Medal of Honor Museum into that location as the Charles Coolidge Medal of Honor Heritage Center . Ms. White said the Coolidge group was not interested in the office space.  She said the office area has a separate entrance. Pucketts Restaurant is on the first floor of the building.

Huge crowds march through San Francisco as right-wing protesters lie low

SAN FRANCISCO — A forum Thursday on the Bay Area’s egregious housing situation — the high prices, the scarcity of new construction — brought together academics, developers, real estate agents , government officials and housing advocates, all in the name of seeking creative solutions to the crisis. It was both a cry for help and a call to action. “They have their crazies. We need our crazies,” said panelist Laura Foote Clarke , executive director of YIMBY Action, which advocates for housing growth. Yes, that’s YIMBY, as in “Yes In My Backyard,” and the “they” she referred to was the other side — the many and often well-organized “Not In My Backyard” NIMBY opponents of housing development and densification in neighborhoods around the region.

Held at LinkedIn San Francisco in front of an engaged audience of about 175 people, the forum was titled “California Housing Crisis : Examinin...

Formula Nero DH Fork - First Look

Image
Formula is a resurgent company right now. Maybe best known for their brakes, they launched their suspension line in 2012 with their 33 fork. Since then they have taken a cautious path for development, but have quietly and completely revamped their entire range of products. Only last year they added their burly single crown Selva fork and all-new Cura brake platform . As well as the headline launches they have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to refine and perfect their damping performance, as we found out with them last December, to the point where their suspension can hold its own against the best on the market. Yet they are a company that has always been closely tied to the downhill side of the sport, so the inevitable question was: when would they add a dual crown fork ? The Nero fork is their answer to that question. This year you may have spied the prototypes for this fork aboard the bikes of Argentina Bike , the top DH racing team in Italy. While Loris Revelli or Fran...
