            David Hoggard's take on local politics and life in general from Greensboro, NC

The Troublemaker asks, "Is this necessary?"  No, it is not.  What's more, such inflammatory depictions only serve to divide us further.

Greensboro101 is in today's Wall Street Journal (not online).  The Marketplace section runs a feature on local weblog advertising and Roch's brainchild is one of two featured sites.  More from Greensboro101.

With all of the important news that was the news in today's N&R, only one item made me shake my head in disappointment.  The item of my dismay took up almost the entire front page of today's Life section and asked a question, the answer to which I thought should be settled by now:  Who has the best wings in town?

After I read the headline, I scanned the page for the words I was looking for: Minj Grille.  But noooo....  The N&R staff (depicted while masticating) subjected themselves to a bunch of crappy, gristle infested, bland, over-advertised, under-sized and otherwise inferior under-fed by-products of Mr. Perdue's over-populated chicken farms.  And I feel sorry for them - but that is not the point here.

As a subscriber who depends on the N&R for thoroughness and accuracy, I insist that Jeri Rowe, Ed Hardin and Co. take the short walk from their now grease-covered desks on Market St. down to 310 S. Elm St. (or call 273-5393) and order up some of Minj's crispy-but-saucy, over-sized, "kicked-up" wings - and print an apology and correction in tomorrow's paper.  (Or do it in the comments below).

*******************

Update I: For the uninitiated, Minj is an acronym drawn from the first names of the Hill family who own the place. Matt (dad), India (daughter), Niki (mom and sauce inventor) and, I hope I get this one right (ed:I didn't), Jordyn (son).  If I didn't get the 'J' right, I'm sure Niki will correct me.  She has proven to not be shy about making comments here.

Update II: Killian is soon to be a convert.
