I goofed. When I told you in last week's column about HGTV coming to the area, I put in the wrong e-mail address for Jenna Friederich. It seems at least one of you has a story to tell about your home and tried to get in touch with Jenna the new-fangled way. It didn't work. I'm sorry. So, for those of you who are desperately trying to hook up your home with the show "If Walls Could Talk," here's Jenna's correct e-mail address: jfriederich@highnoonentertainment.comGreen Monster Strikes Again When Hubby Dear caught a glimpse of longing in my eyes the other night, he knew he was in for trouble. That's because I've got it again: lawn envy, that most dread disease where one grows greener with envy than the landscape they covet, ahem, admire. .

Reidsville will add a building to its industrial park next year to lure new industry - sort of. The city council approved financing for a "ready to go" site. In the past, cities including Reidsville and Eden have built empty-shell buildings to entice industry to an area. That practice lost favor as many of the buildings sat empty for years. A ready-to-go site is an industrial site prepped for construction but nothing else. Architectural plans are also drawn up for a building that could fit on the site. Economic developers have promoted the practice as a way to save money on new construction. "Someone could come in and start building a building fast," said Kelly Almond, Reidsville's city manager. The city was in the process of building the industrial park the last time that the Partnership for Economic Development was going to build a shell building.
