Abstract:
Durham's Regulator Bookshop is celebrating its thirtieth year of business in December 2006. Tom Campbell and John Valentine are co-owners. A third partner, Helen Whiting, was also a co-owner from 1982 until she died in 1999. The store started as small storefront shop at 720 Ninth Street. It expanded into the upstairs in 1990, and in 1994, down into the building's basement. The owners attribute their survival as an independent bookshop to devoted community support.

Abstract:
Canavan discusses a visionary project in Chapel Hill that promises to be North Carolina's greenest building. With the state's population projected to increase by 50 percent in the next decade, architects are asking the question, will people live in more of the same or will a new energy efficient, environmentally conscious architecture develop. Greenbridge, a $30 million pair of mixed-use towers planned for West Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill, exemplifies the new environmental trend and will set the standard in the state for sustainable architectural development.
