Coming soon: Bynum Commons at the Haw™

The current parking lot will be replaced with luxury condos featuring river-adjacent views of what used to be the Haw.

The historic Bynum General Store will transition into a curated retail experience, anchored by a boutique candle concept and a place that sells $18 toast.

The remaining grounds will be fully paved for convenience, because grass is unpredictable and history doesn’t scale.

We’ve partnered with a developer who specializes in turning deeply rooted, slightly messy, community-driven places into clean, efficient environments with excellent signage and uniform shrubbery.

Honestly, it’s the best thing to happen to the area since Fenton and Sweetwater, finally bringing to Chatham County that same sense of curated charm of Cary and traffic patterns of Holly Springs we’ve all been craving.

We know some folks will miss the old store, the music, the stories, the dust, the weirdness, but progress requires sacrifice, and what better sacrifice than authenticity?

We can’t wait to welcome you to a brighter, smoother, more beige future.

Happy April 1st

I was living in Boone in 1984 going on my second year there and drove down for this show in Chapel Hill with a carload of radical life-time friends (April 6).

They started up with “London Calling” and concluded with “White Riot,” and played “Rock The Casbah” somewhere around the middle of the show. In 1991 Armed Forces Radio chose to play “Rock The Casbah” for its kickoff of Operation Desert Storm. Joe Strummer wept. Conservatives have embraced the song. The lyrics may have been about the banning of western music in Iran. I cringe to think that trumpists might bring it forward now as yet another attack by the USA has been launched on the region.

Below is the setlist from that Friday night in Chapel Hill.
