Bill Kirby has a unique view of Fayetteville. He should, it���s his home.
Kirby has seen a lot change in the community over the years, and he has
a great perspective from which to discuss those changes. Add in a dash of
curmudgeon, a liberal amount of humor and a fair amount of passion and
compassion, and Kirby���s musings are the stuff that make for a great read and
an insight into the inner-workings of the community. Kirby has worked at the
Fayetteville Observer since 1971, and currently writes columns about people
and places in the Cape Fear region, and has a blog at http://blogs.fayobserver.

community and has landed them on the Best of Fayetteville for the first time,
