OK but the most important thing is that we raised more than $145,000 for student journalism on Duke and Carolina’s campuses. Everyone is a winner when we support these kids in their editorial independence.

me: should we bundle the kids up and go to franklin street? 7-year-old: no.

Seth Trimble owns the Ben and Jerry’s on Franklin street, fun fact

Franklin Street, Chapel Hill.

UNC just beat Dook in the last 0.4 seconds of the game and I can hear the screams on Franklin Street from my house. I do not live in Chapel Hill. #unc #dook #duke #acc #basketball #tarheels

Welcome to chapel hill

Among the Epstein files: paid parking for street parking in Chapel Hill and a lunch bill at Vimala’s!

Flakes are falling!

Seems @chapelhillgov.bsky.social spent about seven AI seconds creating a new maple-leaf-but-also-tree-growing-on-farmland-we-don't-have town logo. We spent 7 AI seconds creating a new version that reflects our current frigid reality. 🥶 How about a winter website update?

⛄Another winter storm is forecast to move into the area late tonight and lasting into early Sunday morning. We'll continue to share service and facility updates via email and on our website.

And you thought we just covered housing and bike lanes ❄️

LRT: Carrboro is teetering on the edge of being a theme park, y'all. But we can bring it back together.

OH: “Speaking of evil people, I was re-reading old Stephen Miller columns from when he was at Duke, and it turns out he has really bad opinions about parking.”

🥳

😱

Here's the phase 1 site plan from the RFP UNC issued in August, showing the arena on MLK. We get two huge parking garages right on the BRT 😑 Think you hate traffic leaving the current Dean Dome? Wait until everyone is trying to leave this location at once (mostly by car). Good luck, Estes Dr.

Is there a father in Morganton right now texting his homesick sophomore daughter “I’ll visit and meet you at the corner of Estes and MLK, but not a goddamn inch farther”?

Roberts on Carolina North Forest: "that's not going anywhere." TBB: "I’ve superimposed trails from the university’s Carolina North Forest Trail Map – it’s hard to see how Roberts gets to 250 acres without removing parts of the forest and trails."

"What [Chancellor] Roberts describes as a vibrant and fun neighborhood is starting to sound more like a wannabe Silicon Valley and dystopian hellscape." "...right now this feels more like a real estate solution in search of a problem than a cohesive vision for campus growth."

The kids were street sledding in north Chatham County this morning. Many thanks to Great Outdoor Provision for having good snow boots in stock last Wednesday. We have power.

Hunkered down, hoping for minimal ice this afternoon. Watching competitive figure skating while covered in sleepy cats (the original portable heaters).
