Observer Q&As

Q&A | Rick Thames, Observer editor

Crime is up and so are news reports

Q. Has there been a lot of serious crime and no arrests recently? It seems like murders and drive by shootings everywhere. I saw vehicle descripions etc. in the news reports. Is it just me? 06.29.08

Q&A | Scott Fowler on Sports

Panther fans go at it

Q. Scott, I certainly enjoy reading the posts regarding the issue of the "wine and cheese" crowd at BofA. The message from "The Richardson" will remedy this whole issue - respect, common sense and pride (both for the Panthers and the city of Charlotte). BTW - not all "Rust Belt" football fans have beer bellies, use profanity around young children or spill beer on the fans from the opposing team. 07.02.08

Q&A | Nancy Brachey on Gardening

Worried about once-frozen crape myrtle

Q. One of my dwarf crape myrtles was frozen in the BIG Easter freeze, but there are signs of life coming out from the bottom of the tree. Should the original trunk, which looks dead, be cut off or left alone? 06.27.08

Q&A | Kathleen Purvis on Food

Gotta have gooseberries now?

Q. Is there any local source for fresh gooseberries or canned gooseberries. I used to be able to find canned gooseberries at the grocery store, but I have checked the local grocery stores and they don't seem to carry them any longer. 07.02.08
