Chamber of Commerce, said busi
ness consultants have recom
mended grouping similar sorts of
services in the same area.
“I don’t think (another salon) is
a bad idea,” Nelson said. “We’re
excited that they’re opening.”
Nelson explained that barber
shop-type services are the kind of
businesses that bring people to the
area. Area officials have accused
businesses in downtown Chapel
Hill of abandoning this type of
agenda-driven consumer.
“Barbershops and salons are des
tination places,” Nelson said.
“People aren’t just going to walk by.”
At first glance, it might seem
strange that so much of one service
is offered in a small area character
ized by high rents and constant
business turnover. But based on the
success of the existing shops, the
demand for hair services is clearly
evident in the Chapel Hill area.
David Sutton of DB Sutton &
Cos. agrees that each hair place
offers something unique.

“Different services for different
people,” Sutton said. “I don’t think
that a lot of hair salons lend to the
homogeneity of Chapel Hill.”
Sutton’s business caters mostly
to members of the professional and
faculty community.
Sharon Dail, manager and owner
of Aesthetics Hair Styling, which
has been on Franklin Street for 36
years, said the biggest consequence
of the influx of new shops has been
increased price competition. Dail’s
salon has the advantage of an estab
lished customer base, drawing eld
erly as well as student customers.
Most of the private owners
within the hair service communi
ty seek to differentiate their busi
ness from the others. The atmos
phere in each shop is as uniquely
different as the people it draws.
“We all work in the same field,
but we have our own niches.”
Sutton said. “We’re all on a good
community basis.”
Bell’s shop will be having grand
opening ceremonies all week.

Jones said. “What we have done
and will continue to do is send out
press releases to the media.”
McCracken said he felt the east
bound closures went very well but
is unsure if the current closings
will go quite as smoothly.
“Westbound closures could be
different because most of our folks
are coming from Raleigh,”
McCracken said.
“If people will address it the
same and follow the signs, it
should not be a problem.”

process that he said might take up
to two years.
“By 2005, NCCU will be a fully
operational campus,” he said.
Five hundred students who had
anticipated living in residence
halls are now residing in hotels
and apartments. Relocating stu
dents has cost N.C. Central more
than $1 million.
“The dynamic of the entire cam
pus has shifted,” Brown said.
Brown said the school is trying
to limit the financial impact of the
moldy facilities on students. “We
do not want the students to be
punished for something that no
one had control of.”
University officials have enlisted
Clark Nexsen and E.I. Inc., an
environmental safety consulting
firm, to assess the causes and
severity of the mold and to develop
a plan for how to get rid of the
costly mess.
According to the report, a poor
building design, faulty mechanical
equipment installation, poor con
struction and bad maintenance
caused failures in ventilation,
plumbing and humidity control.

In seven of the nine academic
buildings, the report identified the
campus’ steam system as well as
faulty windows and roofs as possi
ble sources of moisture, which led
to water damage and mold con
tamination.
Former Charlotte Mayor and
U.S. Senate candidate Harvey
Gantt’s firm, Gantt Huberman
Architects, designed the residence
halls. Gantt personally signed off
on all of the contracting work.
One or more species of mold has
been identified in the 11 buildings.
The two infected residence halls,
built as recently as 1999,.are affect
ed by “black mold,” or Stachybotrys
chartarum, which can cause skin
problems, nosebleeds and flu-like
symptoms.
Other than the two residence
halls, no other mold-infected
buildings have been closed. “There
hasn’t been any other buildings
that have been identified as a seri
ous health threat,” Saunders said.
E.I. Inc. is conducting a separate
environmental review of the nine
buildings. A final report will be fin
ished by the end of the month.

place of what was once an aban
doned lot.
“There was literally drug use and
prostitution going on right here,”
Gibbs said. “This part of Elizabeth
Street has a lot less crime now.”
Since the institution of the
SEEDS gardens, community mem
bers can turn their attentions to
learning to grow their own fruits,
vegetables, flowers and herbs.
“I think our greatest focus now
is education,” Brodie said, empha
sizing the importance of teaching
people to give back to the earth.
SEEDS also has a successful
youth gardening team, Durham
Inner-city Gardeners, responsible
for growing food and flowers to be
sold at the Durham Farmers’
Market each Saturday. Proceeds
from the sales cycle back into the
SEEDS gardens.
According to the Web site, the
program is a “youth-driven urban
market farm and landscaping
business.”

Brodie said DIG is beginning to
draw community attention and has
regular customers who look for
youth produce at the market each
week.
“It’s good to know you’re doing
something that people appreciate,”
Ames said.
Christopher Lyon, a 17-year-old
Hillside High School student, is in
his third year with DIG.
“We’re growing a resume,” Lyon
said. “It’s not just a job; it’s a life
experience.”
Youth members of DIG work to
break down cultural barriers while
learning organic gardening and
leadership techniques, along with
business practices.
DIG is currently experimenting
with growing crops in plastic bags,
SEEDS volunteer Angela Ries said.
The goal of the project aligns
with that of SEEDS: to teach new
ways for people to grow and appre
ciate organic food.
Ries said, “(SEEDS is) a great
example of community resources
being pooled into something.”
