Charlotte Observer Launches "Neighbors of Southern Mecklenburg" (August 20, 2006) Beginning today and continuing in each Thursday and Sunday edition, The Charlotte Observer will deliver a new section to subscribers in southern Mecklenburg County. The Neighbors of Southern Mecklenburg section will feature local news for the southern edge of the county, from Steele Creek east to Mint Hill. General news in today's edition includes coverage of schools (back to school, school crowding, and fall sports) and movie theaters (including Ayrsley Grand Cinemas 14). It also has a range of snapshots submitted by readers. Specifically for Steele Creek, stories cover The Palisades (Environmental sensitivity is the goal at The Palisades) and the Friday Night Music Fest at Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church (Life is a cabaret at Presbyterian church). Southwest Briefs invite residents to help out in the library garden next Saturday and to learn about Charlotte geography at the library's Summer History Series. Features that are familiar to readers of the old Mecklenburg Neighbors insert will continue in the new section , including Home Sales and Police Blotter. There's also a calendar and Soapbox for readers' comments. Observer editors invite readers to tell Neighbors of Southern Mecklenburg editor Roland Wilkerson and his staff about your news. Call 704-358-5903 or e-mail: mynews@charlotteobserver.com. The new Neighbors of Southern Mecklenburg is a great way for organizations to spread the word about meetings and events to their Steele Creek neighbors.
