It’s been a whirlwind journey for Mipso, the bluegrass-indie-folk band formed by Carolina grads in 2010. What started as a fun side project for three college buddies took off, at first locally and then regionally. Their most recent album, “Old Time Reverie,” debuted last October at the No. 1 spot […]
La Residence has always been a big part of Chapel Hill native Elliott Neal’s life; his parents, Moreton and Bill Neal, opened the restaurant together in 1976. It took on an even greater significance when he met the love of his life – then UNC student CC Glenn – while […]
UNC grad Helen Mitchell first met Antonio Nester at Cocoa Cinnamon in downtown Durham on a Sunday afternoon in August 2013. “We sat outside on the picnic tables and talked for at least three hours before we realized we had both gotten sunburned,” Helen says. The two started dating later […]
We had a blast tasting some of the best Chapel Hill has to offer at Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill‘s A Tasteful Affair. Our favorite bites – or slurps – of the night were Chirba Chirba‘s curried carrot and tomato soup (above) and squash soup by Brendan Cox (below) of Oakleaf […]

If you’re looking for a refreshing beer after a long day at work. We recommend the HipHopOpatamus IPA at Steel String. BB&T on Elliott Road had us blushing this week in the drive-thru: Best of Chapel Hill. Olio & Aceto‘s grilled pimento cheese involves a kick of heat and sourdough […]
For Tim Crothers, what started as a “good story” from a stranger in a crowd at Squid’s in March 2010 blossomed into an ESPN The Magazine article. It then became a book and now, a much anticipated, star-studded film, “Queen of Katwe.” Tim, a UNC School of Media and Journalism lecturer, has […]
Our community recently lost a glowing, creative, openhearted, loyal giver and connector. Her name was Carrie Gilmore, and she was quite a spark. I knew Carrie through a multitude of circles – which is probably what you’ll hear from anyone who knew and loved her. In her many spheres, she […]
