The RPC: Great Writing

Damn. Poynter’s RPC (That’s Roy Peter Clark) sums up a lot of Terri things quite nicely in this piece timed to run after her departure.

Angry Neighbors

What makes people angry neighbors? What is bad enough to make you call the cops on someone? Situation: They moved upstairs during my first jaunt to Atlanta.
