Construction Underway for Southern Pines' Patrick’s Pointe Complex

The Patrick’s Pointe apartment complex is underway in Southern Pines along Hwy 1 with its contemporary design and array of amenities. Approved by city officials and under construction by Carolina Commercial Contractors, this 266-unit development represents a collaboration between notable industry players, aiming to meld local heritage with modern living. With a strategic construction timeline and management by Greystar, Patrick’s Pointe is poised to become a significant addition to Moore County’s housing market. More details Sandhills Sentinel.

Fiberbuilt's Innovative Golf Mats Shine at PGA Show Demo Day

Fiberbuilt, a Moore County-based company, stood out at the PGA Show's Demo Day, held last week in Orlando, Fla., for its innovative artificial turf mats, used by thousands of golf courses and teaching facilities. These mats, designed with environmental and performance considerations in mind, offer features like shock-absorbent rubber bases and drainage-promoting dimples. Developed through advanced technology and made from repurposed rubber, Fiberbuilt's products highlight the company's commitment to sustainability and quality. The pandemic-induced golf boom has significantly benefited the company, underlining the growing demand for high-quality golf accessories. We are proud of our Moore County innovative businesses!

Morgan Fairchild Brings Star Power to Pinehurst in 'Butterflies are Free'

Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, Morgan Fairchild, stars in "Butterflies are Free" with the Judson Theatre Company in Pinehurst, bringing her vast experience to the community stage. The play, a romantic comedy about independence and love, showcases Fairchild as Mrs. Baker, dealing with her blind son's quest for autonomy. This role holds personal significance for Fairchild, reflecting societal constraints on women of past generations. The production is part of a broader vision by Pinehurst's Morgan Sills to enrich the local theater scene. Fairchild's ongoing engagement in acting, coupled with her social advocacy, exemplifies her multifaceted career and enduring appeal.
