Historic Addor Community Center in Pinebluff Receives Stedman Incentive Grant

Preservation North Carolina has awarded the Addor Community Center in Pinebluff the 2023 Stedman Incentive Grant. This historic center, once known as the Lincoln Park School, served as an educational hub for African Americans in the early 20th century. Of fifteen such schools in Moore County, it's one of only two that remain. The building transitioned into a community center in 1952 but faced neglect and weather-related damages over the years. With renewed community efforts and support from Preservation North Carolina, the center is on its path to restoration.

Legendary Tar Heel Walter Davis dies at age 69

Walter Davis, renowned for his 15-year NBA tenure after standout performances as a North Carolina Tarheel, passed away on Thursday in Charlotte, aged 69. Davis died of natural causes while with family. A gold medalist at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, he was also the uncle of Hubert Davis, current Tar Heel coach. With impressive statistics both at college and in the NBA, Davis left an indelible mark on basketball. After being drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 1977, he was soon named NBA Rookie of the Year. Over his career, which included stints with the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers, he averaged 18.9 points in over 1,000 games. The Phoenix Suns honored him by retiring his No. 6 jersey in 1994.

Small Business Saturday: Why Your Local Shop Deserves Your Dollars on Nov. 25th

On the heels of Black Friday, one of the most frenzied shopping days of the year, comes an event with a much quieter, but equally powerful, impact: Small Business Saturday, set for November 25th this year. Though it may not command the same nationwide attention, the essence of Small Business Saturday is crucial for communities and local economies across the country. Here's why this day holds such immense significance:

Boosting the Local Economy - Every dollar spent at a local business recirculates within the community at a much higher rate than money spent at a chain store. Local business owners often use local services, products, and professionals, multiplying the value of any money spent in their establishment.

Personalized Service - Local businesses thrive on understanding their community's needs. Shopping at local stores often means receiving personalized service from individuals who know their products inside out and can offer recommendations tailored to individual preferences.

Keeping Communities Unique - Local businesses add flavor to our communities, bringing in a touch of individuality. These businesses, often built from the ground up by passionate individuals, offer unique products and experiences that chains can't replicate. This diversity enhances local culture and keeps our neighborhoods distinctive.

Jobs - Small businesses are one of the largest employers in many communities. By supporting them, you're ensuring job creation and stability in your own backyard. These jobs often offer more flexibility and personal growth than those in larger corporations.

Strengthening Community Ties - Local businesses frequently give back to their communities, sponsoring local sports teams, participating in community events, and supporting local charities. Their presence helps to foster a sense of community and interconnectedness.

By choosing to shop locally on November 25th (and beyond), you're not just making a purchase; you're making a statement. You're saying that local economies matter, that individuality is cherished, and that community ties are to be nurtured. This year, let's make an effort to step into our local stores, meet our neighbors, and invest in the heartbeat of our communities.
