A few years ago someone started this because they had some damage to their cart and thought Duke should pay. That woke the beast. Now here you are trespassing, you damage your cart while you are trespassing, and believe its the owners fault and should pay for your damages, Really? I thought this was settled and faded back into the wood work. I'd like to know who and why they woke the beast up? If the path is closed it will definitely be an inconvenience to a lot of people. Yep, I understand their dilemma very well. Just lucky Mr. Brown is not a corporation or there would be no path at all.
Steve: In a matter of speaking and offered with due respect "out of the mouth of babe's . The damaged cart claim is new information to me and information I believed was lurking in the background. I strongly suspected someone, somehow, made Duke Energy nervous.

I do have empathy for those residents both from Stonecrest and TV caught up in this fiasco but I also understand business and Duke would be wise to protect themselves
