Abstract:
In the article the author is discussing a conflict about gathering of residents on Gearwood Avenue and Drew Street for a game of horseshoes. The argument is that the gatherings should be moved to a park or facility or should stay where it is at. The conflict is between longtime residents and new property owners. This horse shoe pit is the meeting place for the local horseshoe league called the Atlantic Coast Conference horseshoe league and new property owners are complaining about the gatherings to be large loud, blocking residential roads, the use of profanity, and the consumption of alcohol. The city council is hesitant to make a decision on keeping the pit there or having it moved. Local residents say that it is a tradition but new residents say that it is a nuisance.
