Dang, I thought Herrick and I had sufficiently rumor-ified the coming Federalization of Carrboro back on 1/31/2006. We'll try harder next time.

Re: panties -- I bet you can get some really fancy all-weather ultralight wicking doodads at Townsend Bertram for $20. Otherwise, maybe the Robertson Scholars bus stops at Wal-Mart?

I had a yard sale once, when I lived in Carrboro. I suppose now is as good a time as any to tell you that I gave all your old MRRs to Dave Jiminez at the end of it.

p.s. I'm going to pronounce it "Miltown"

dj biscotti and i were looking at the place from the
visart parking lot sat eve before the sign was up
wondering what was to be. taking the bus home last eve
about 8pm, i saw a buncha folks in there, too. i
wondered if the place had anything in common with the
federal, cuz there was a kinda federal vibe coming out
of the place i could feel even on the bus. and i'd
been thinking a coupla days afore, ok, now that i've
moved to carrboro, i've got most everthing i had
before in durham except there's no stinking federal
here. and now there is. just in time. for me to be
stinking broke again. cuz now i live in carrboro,
twice as expensive as durham. and i kinda had to save
up for trips to the federal.

but i ride the bus for free. whoo-hoo! i'm down to one
tank of gas per month now, which is really only for
the monthly out of town experience. during the week,
the old rust bucket just stays parked. i hear that may
be coming to durham. that bus for free thing, that is.

and i got 4 mint plants (of the 4 variety in the
4:2:1:1 ratio of amch/7:10:97) at the farmer's market,
sat not wed version, including a cedar box of
dimension 36x8 to sit atop the deck railing in
15:14:16 soil. after the new 1.5l bottle is gone,
which could take awhile given my ultra slow sip rate,
it will be back to evan wms green label for me as
well.

but there is still no place in which to purchase new
underwear, not that i'm not stocked with reserves. i'm
convinced nobody in carrboro wears any underwear,
unless it comes used from the pta thrift store. i'm
just saying in case the reserve ever runs low and i
forget to do laundry. and the bus stops running before
the movies let out. that cannot be good for business.
although i can get a pair of socks at weaver street
for five times the going rate anywhere else in
america. if i wanted brightly tie dyed socks, that is.
bizzaro world. contraction.

so... tor, you know tor, he's another backer of
milltown.

the soil is very different here. many rocks. and there
are no yard sales.

the name of tyler's was originally to have been
"milltown bistro."

And when I drove by last night at 6:30 or so, the
patio was slam-full of people, so I guess the word got out somehow. Any of
y'all among the pioneers? I would've been, but I blew my weekly
dining budget at Ben's Chili Bowl in DC on Sunday.

Milltown to open at old Temple Ball

Milltown, a new restaurant, is scheduled to open
Wednesday, May 10, in the
former Temple Ball space at 307 E. Main St. in
Carrboro.
Josh Wittman, one of the owners of the Federal in
Durham, has partnered
with several folks from the Federal and others. He
expects that, like the
Federal, Milltown will be known for eclectic food
at reasonable prices.
The menu includes mussels and frites, slow-cooked
ribs, fish tacos and
daily specials.

Milltown, which also has patio seating, will offer
lunch and dinner and a
large late-night menu until 2 a.m.
