I don't know how many of you are familiar with a "Brady bonds" President George H.W.

This time different Bush still bad loans only this time not far south but instead right here at home. He had several options; he could severely punish all the greedy lenders that made stupid

- 06/02/07 02:09 AM
This weekend in New Bern "Neuse River Days" This weekend is a celebration of the river's existence and a way for the Neuse River Foundation to say thanks to those who support environmental efforts. Earlier this year, the environmental watchdog group American Rivers listed the Neuse as the eighth most endangered river in the country. Lower Neuse Riverkeeper Larry Baldwin said the weekend events are a celebration of the river, yet a reminder that it must be protected. "We're on the list of the 10 most endangered rivers, which is unfortunate," he said. "But I would tell people not to necessarily be

sonja babic: Retirement isn't about Florida
- 03/08/07 11:47 AM
Here is one of many great articles about New Bern! Undiscovered: New Bern, N.C., "North down South"New Bern, N.C., is popular with Northeasterners who want to stay closer to relatives up north and don't want to go as far as Florida. It's only three and a half hours from Raleigh. It has three seasons, but no real winter. As one resident put it, there's "enough to remind us of the north, but not enough to make us unhappy." The city has a 56-square-block downtown historic district on the waterfront. It's close to the beaches of Morehead City, and the Outer Banks
