The Independent Weekly 20th Anniversary
Looking back
Here's what The Indy was writing about the week of Sept. 17:
5 years ago: Afefe Tyehimba examined the growing number of afrocentric schools in the state and the issues that surround them -- the effects of Brown v. Board of Education, questions of black identity and the public funding these schools receive.
10 years ago: Lucy Haagen checked in with award-winning teachers who gave up the profession to follow other careers because of lack of classroom autonomy and low pay.
20 years ago: Steve Schewel chronicled the events of the 58th Annual North Carolina Debutante Ball, in which more than 200 young women presented themselves to North Carolina society.

Blade running
There it was, for half price: a snow blade/grader attachment for my almighty DR All-Terrain brush mower. "Who doesn't need one of those?"
