Abstract:
A Raleigh ordinance, RCC-9.2022, has been on the city's books since 1998. It prohibits the distribution of food without a permit. City administrators were concerned with crime and litter and had considered whether to tolerate groups, such as churches, feeding the homeless in Moore Square Park. The city stopped tolerating. Those proponents of feeding feel this sudden enforcement of the 14-year-old ordinance may not have \"been spontaneous\" after all. Porter explains.

Abstract:
Action by the NC Eugenics Board led to the sterilization by choice or coercion of 7,600 people between 1933 and 1973. It took place in every one of the state's 100 counties--to men women, blacks, whites, and Native Americans, those who already had children, and those who had not reached puberty. It was the state's way to cleanse itself of the contamination of poverty, disability, and mental illness. The 2013 NC General Assembly provided compensation--$10 million--to be paid in 2015 to the 3,000 living victims. But it will not make the victims whole again.

Abstract:
They are called LPFM, or Low Power FM stations, and they are relatively rare. Only two exist in the Raleigh area--WCOM, 103.5 in Carrboro, and WRLY, 93.5, which covers a small section of northeastern Raleigh. These stations are small and can broadcast no further than 3.5 miles on 100 watts. Yet, these small frequencies on the FM dial are highly coveted. Kelly Reid and Jacob Downey have a station, Little Raleigh Radio (LRR), and they have requested the 105.6 position. However, they have competition from four religious groups, one as far away as Texas. Porter explains what the process involves.

Abstract:
Raleigh is somewhat unique in state capitals, in that it has no substantial body of water flowing through it. There are some little streams but no great river. City Planning Director Michael Silver has a vision for the next ten years that would develop something similar to the River Walk in San Antonio. Smith discusses the plan and how it could fit into the Downtown Master Plan.

Abstract:
Food insecurity is rising in the state. The term refers to a household's inability to have food for an active healthy life at some time, but not all of the time because decisions must be made between paying house and medical bills balanced against buying good food. Since 2000, one in five North Carolinians have been in this category at one time or another. Such numbers rank the state sixth among the country's most food-insecure states at 19.3 percent.

Abstract:
Raleigh's Greyhound Bus Station is moving from the downtown area to make way for development. It has occupied the Jones Street terminal since 1969 but recently sold it to a local developer for $4.75 million. The new terminal will be located three miles away at the former Hideaway BBQ restaurant which is in front of the \"desolate\" Raleigh Flea Market Mall. To reach the new location a pedestrian \"has to navigate concrete-strewn underpasses, muddy potted back roads and grassy medians, before walking along the snarling shoulder of Capitol Boulevard past porn stores and chop shops. There are no sidewalks for the first mile and a half.\" It is a walk best made by a seasoned hobo.
