Neighbors Helping Neighbors In Winter Storm

Winter Storm Remus swept through our area on Wednesday night, dropping about eight inches of snow, and the Triangle is still in the process of digging out from under it – but while the reports of icy roads and widespread power outages have been disheartening, there have been just as many stories of neighbors helping neighbors in times of need.

The photo above is from the Carrboro Police Department, recognizing staff at Arby’s in Carrboro Plaza. When the power went out at Carolina Spring Senior Apartments just behind Carrboro Plaza, the staff at Arby’s sprang into action – providing 120 sandwiches for the residents who were struggling without power.

“CPD would like to recognize and thank Arbys at Carrboro Plaza for providing 120 sandwiches for the residents at Carolina Spring who have been without power (Thursday),” said the department on Facebook, “and thanks to the Carrboro Fire Department and Orange County Emergency Services for their invaluable assistance.”
