Phelps Chinqua Penn Plantation

The Greensboro News is reporting Calvin Phelps may serve 51-63 months for a cigarette scam that defrauded the federal government out of $5 per carton in taxes.   Phelps is the owner of what the Greensboro News is calling "Phelps Chinqua Penn Plantation". Phelps Chinqua Penn Plantation is Rockingham County's former #1 tourist attraction.

The Phelps Chinqua Penn Plantation article was written by Taft Wireback.

RCC Borrows Money From Trustees

I only mention this article because it is so poorly written.  If it was written by someone whose primary language is German or French or Russian or Arabic, then maybe it would get a "C" grade.  Click here for the full Monty.

Lowes Foods Expands Cheese Line

If you've been to Lowes Foods lately, you've noticed they are in the middle of a store overhaul.  Things are being moved about, long sections of shelving are empty, prices are being changed, new products are being added, and old products are disappearing.

There has been a serious transformation in the cheese department - Lowes now has two kinds of Romano cheese.  Lowes has never stocked Romano cheese.  I love Romano cheese which is unfortunate because it is $12.49 and $18.49 per pound.  A chunk of Romano cheese the size of your fist is approaching $25.

All i can do is stare at the Romano cheese.  I certainly can't afford to buy it.

I don't think the Romano cheese will be around for long at Lowes.  Somebody will eventually pick up the three pieces remaining without looking at the price.and it will be gone and never return.

Hello Romano.  Goodbye Romano.

Foxy Moxy's Pussycat Offends Greensboro Councilman

Reidsville's own burlesque dancer has managed to outrage a Greensboro City Councilman by performing her PussyCat song at a local barbecue festival.

You can read all about it here:

Miss Moxy responds to Councilman Wilkins' outrage.  Read it here:

Be sure to watch Moxy's youtube video of her performance that so offended Wilkins:  It was recorded in downtown Reidsville at Lucky City:

If you read the Youtube comments, you will see a lot of Reidsville folk were offended as well.  Of course those that were offended had to watch the Youtube video because they didn't see her actually perform.  I'm quite amazed the Reidsville cops weren't called that night.  They were called plenty of other times.

Facebook slams the Review

Remember when this Reidsville Review cartoon got editor Ralph Waters fired

Apparently I am not the only one who has concerns about the Reidsville Review.  I found many less than favorable comments about the Review on Facebook

-

 You Must Have Been Raised in Eden or Reidsville if....

Janet Cummings Somers Remember when Reidsville had a daily paper that actually had news in it? Now it's two days a week and has nothing in it.

Angela Moore Purgason And half of what is in it is from EDEN!!

Janet Cummings Somers even worse is the other half is out of Virginia!
Libby Barrett And they leave some of the news out.You learn more on fb than in the paper.

Roderick A. Meadows I was shocked at the size of the paper when my parents bought one last Sunday from Red Rooster(or what used to be Red Rooster). The Review looked like an overgrown pamphlet.

I think calling the Review a pamphlet is being a bit generous.  It's more like a flyer.

These are just a few of the comments.  Visit Facebook to get a real whiff of the Review..
