The Carrboro News Awards

The Carrboro News Awards are our way of honoring the people, places and things of Carroboro that have made it a unique place. Without 605 Main St. how could we appreciate the Weaver Street Commons? Without the gaps in the bike paths, how would we appreaciate the space set aside specifically for bikers?

Too often awards are given to those who know they deserve them and not enough attention is given to those people and projects that are hoping they will slip by unnoticed. Within the present political climate, mediocrity has become acceptable- and even revered.( A "C" average student can now run(into the ground)the most powerful nation on the planet).

As a reflection of the modern American thought process we too will take that attitude in hopes of being accepted by the mainstream of America.

And so I present The Carrboro News Award in hopes of riding our own wave of mediocrity on to success!(If you have a special person, place or thing in your heart that you thing deserves special recognition, please don't hesitate to contact us!)
