A Light on the Hill in September
by Missy Julian-Fox | September 01 2010
Memorial Hall evokes wonderful memories for me. Filing into the building with my fourth- grade classmates, dressed in our Sunday best on a Tuesday, nervously clasping our tonettes to perform with Conductor Benjamin Swalin and the North Carolina Symphony.

A Light on the Hill in August
by Missy Julian-Fox | August 06 2010
Forget January. In Chapel Hill, the New Year begins in August. The first day of school is an event marked by all ages and stages – toddlers, teenagers, 20-somethings, mid-lifers, and senior citizens. But it’s not just the way the academic calendar determines our pace that sets this place apart. To read more of Missy Julian-Fox’s August 2010 “A Light on the Hill” column, please click here.

Totally enthralled with Carrboro
by Suzy Johnson | June 01 2010
I am from Wisconsin and I am totally enthralled with Carrboro and Chapel Hill. My cousin attends UNC and lives in Carrboro and I love to park my car when I arrive and walk everywhere. It’s hard to find towns like Carrboro anymore. The area is filled with quaint coffee shops, locally owned restaurants, galleries, and open lawns on which to sit and people-watch; have a cool refreshment and take in the Carolina breeze. There’s always music in the air and kids sitting next to adults, old, young, all nationalities and sexual orientations. I feel as if the town is a snapshot of America. I hope to retire there one day.

Eastgate Shopping Center Has Grown
by Jennifer Rein | April 08 2010
Eastgate is a shopping center located on 15-501 in Chapel Hill, near the Holiday Inn, Days Inn, and Siena Hotels. I visited yesterday to purchase unique greeting cards and found unique cards at Womancraft Handcrafted Gifts. Then I went next door to Rack Room Shoes and purchased flop flops for my daughter. We often go to TCBY at night for a cone and Trader Joe’s tempts us everytime we are there. Carmine’s Italian restaurant is a favorite of ours. Between the coffee shops, Stein Mart, Doncaster Outlet, Chico’s and Talbots we get all of our shopping done while sharing a lot of laughs. I love that you don’t have to worry about parking and there is always some new discovery to enjoy. From Starbucks to Hallmark, EVOS restaurant which has the best air cooked French Fries ever; and a handy drug store to buy sunscreen and caps. Eastgate is a great time. Eastgate
