This Down-Home Steakhouse In Oxford, North Carolina Serves 20-Ounce Ribeyes With A Huge Salad Bar
Some steakhouses spend their budget on dark wood and fancy lighting. This one in Oxford, North Carolina spends it on the grill instead. Out here in Granville County, a small-town spot has been quietly turning out ribeyes big enough to hang over the edge of the plate, including a hefty 20-ounce cut. Every steak comes with a trip to a salad bar that people talk about almost as much as the beef.

Durham board rejects nearly 500 homes over traffic, environmental concerns
Residents fighting against traffic congestion and strained infrastructure in Durham celebrated a preliminary victory Tuesday night after the Planning Commission rejected two proposed developments. During a nearly three-hour meeting, the commissioners heard proposals for three new housing developments across the city, rejecting two controversial ones. Both the 437-home Morgan Farm II subdivision and a downsized 27-unit townhome project on Grandale Drive failed to secure the advisory board’s favorable recommendations. A 192-unit affordable housing project in Braggtown, however, got a unanimous recommendation for approval. The commission’s decisions are recommendations to the Durham City Council, which will vote on the projects at a later date. A fourth planned hearing, for 300 apartments on 10 acres along Slater Road in southeast Durham, was rescheduled to December. An approval for Bragtown Walk In the first case of the night, the Bragtown Walk project returned to the Planning Commission not for a rezoning, but for a “Statutory Development Agreement” to help the construction of a 192-unit affordable housing development and on-site daycare on eight acres at Old Oxford Road and Danube Lane. The project’s rezoning was successfully approved in 2023 under the name “Fairhaven Walk.” A Statutory Development Agreement is a legal contract between a

Junior forward Toby Fournier finished with a game-high 20 points, adding five rebounds, one assist and one block on 9-for-13 shooting. Aaliyah Crump and Riley Nelson were the other players to finish in double figures, as they combined for 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists. Duke forced 19 turnovers and held Norfolk State to 7-for-43 shooting from the field (16%).
