A sneak peek at my March "Rural Route" column for BusinessNC magazine...

Have always been a big fan of @BusinessNC but was especially gratified to read @BenKinneyBNC’s YIMBYish Friday intro this week.

Things change, life goes on, and welcoming new neighbors is a good thing.

My first look at BLS data (heads up thanks to the well-curated morning updates from @BusinessNC) was looking at a lot of the negatives. But like all things there are winners and losers so here are the optimistic pieces specific to NC. tl;dr = #longNC

A great @BusinessNC story that also anecdotally reveals how horribly counterproductive efforts to restrict visas, including for university students from abroad, are. https://businessnc.com/willy-stewart-engineers-an-admirable-success-story/

Optimistic and much agreed with intro from @BusinessNC ‘s David Mildenberg this morning. Your pen to people’s hearts David. https://mailchi.mp/businessnc/test-daily-digest-7302017-570721

@BusinessNC daily updates are always informative and todays was my brand of kool-aid: DATA. More specifically, interesting data about what #NC is and how it’s changing.

Surprising data on #innovation sector jobs growth for #Durham from @BusinessNC versus the general narrative, perception about tech and related job growth here. #Raleigh continues to be a bright spot for #NC. https://mailchi.mp/businessnc/test-daily-digest-7302017-570293?e=02659f1f13

Interesting @BusinessNC comment this AM. “It just looks like the system is working no matter who is in the White House.... a compliment to the Fed’s handling of the economy”. I like the optimistic tone re:Fed, but worry if this isn’t just another sit of a different kind of bubble

Thanks to @BusinessNC for a fond bit of comedy nostalgia this rainy Friday.

Thanks to @BusinessNC for massive nostalgia with today’s 90s movie quote. And it still works today.

I almost sitcom-like spit my ☕️ reading @BusinessNC this morning-“While Sears spirals downward, though, its former holdings Allstate, Discover and Coldwell Banker keep growing.” Talk about constant fumbles and poor recognition of the market.
