About This Project

"The View" showcases the unique character of the people and places that form our community. The column explores the lives and relationships of the diverse groups that populate the Triangle. Anyone, regardless of age, race, cultural background or ethnicity, is a potential subject. We include the thoughts of those featured as they express how they view their own situation, allowing us a window into their lives.

Our approach to finding stories for the column varies. Often, we look for subjects to illustrate themes we want to explore. Other times, we may stumble across interesting subjects while on assignment or in our daily lives. We hope readers can use "The View" to enhance their understanding of their own community.

Dejected and tired after the Democratic rally at the Raleigh Convention Center on election night, Kim Koda of Mount Olive and her 15-year-old daughter, Kayla, sensed the end was near for John Kerry. "It looks bad," said Kim Koda. "If Bush wins again, I said we would either move to Canada or Mexico." "I was mad that everything went downhill at the end," said Kayla, who got her mother involved in the Erskine Bowles and John Kerry campaigns through an honors civics class project. "I'm in the process of grieving," her mother added.
