Keith Holliday and the Carolina

If it seemed an odd match in the beginning, former Mayor Keith Holliday's new job as CEO of the Carolina Theatre (effective April 15) makes perfect sense upon further reflection.

Holliday was a surprise selection from among field of more than 70 applicants.

He does not possess an arts background, but he does have connections and his are among the most recognizable names and faces in the city.

He has fund-raising and financial experience to boot.

More importantly, he is one helluva cheerleader.

Anyone who remembers his talks on behalf of the new downtown ballpark had to be impressed.

He arguably did a better job of selling the idea than the stadium booster group.

Now his resume adds another eclectic chapter. He has a been a mayor, a banker and a probation officer.

Imagine my suprise after opening an email from a friend and seeing a very familair face. A little older, a little wiser (LOL) and a long way from the days of working for the Winston Salem Chronicle.

After ther bang-up, dynamic leadership job he did for the city, standing up to crazed, paranoid, race jockeys, one can only hope he continues such in his new role.

By chance does the Carolina Theater have a a): large minority employee contingent and b): Are they represented by Joe Williams?

One wishes him well.
