I'm from here and I'm curious.

-Do we deliver the goods or are we an overrated pile of hype?
-Does the fact that a town of only 50,000 does consistently pop out a good band trump the fact that we go through long dry spells?
-Is it a nice place to vist and a good place to play, or do you count the hours until the van tears ass outta here?
-How about the fact that Chapel Hill gets the credit when Raleigh and Durham pull a lot of the weight?

we have played in raleigh 3 times and chapel hill once. all were good shows and i look forward to coming back your way. a fine area.

I love your fair city. One of my favorite places.

please, like there's ever been a good band outta CH!!

Though I have never had a very good meal there beyond breakfast (I have had amazing pulled pork but it was outside of Chapel Hill...not in), nor have I ever really scored with record buying or instrument buying, I still do like Chapel Hill. It seems there is a high percentage of very attractive young southern style women who enjoy wearing the spring fashions.

Ahhhh....see, that's where we're like other "hip" places. There are amazing places to eat here, and they aren't really secrets, but you won't just fall into them either. If you ask a foodie you'll get a list a mile long. It's not NYC or Chicago, but for it's size, it does well.
We do *not* have good BBQ. You have to go out to the sticks for that.
We do have a few good record stores. CD Alley is tops.
The southern style women are certainly, uh, noteworthy. And friendly.
Next tiem you're coming here, email me, and you'll have no complaints, meal-wise.

a couple weeks after i graduated from highschool, my family moved to greensboro, north carolina. i immediately went off to college in athens, georgia. when i come back on breaks to nc, the only thing i've found worth while is chapel hill. i drive over there once or twice every time i'm home to go to cd alley and peruse other shops. i've brought friends from georgia with me a couple times and they've all been fans of the town as well. so, compared to greensboro, definitely NOT CRAP. actually, i'll probably be in chapel hill in a couple days blowing all my money on records.

If by "outside of Chapel Hill" you mean "somewhere west of Macon, GA" I might believe you.

There's no such thing as good Carolina BBQ.

i like the carolina pulled pork, but it's certainly much different than barbecue made w/tomato-based sauces

north carolina is a nice place in general. rural north carolina is gorgeous.

mayfair, we played on the duke campus one time, and the volume of female pulchritude was especially large there, even by southern college town standards. an alien from outer space would have made note of it--a batting average comparable to that of the student populations in zagreb, croatia and verona, italy. i mean to suggest that it was a rather high batting average.

Sir, you MUST eat a meal at Doug Saul's BBQ in Nashville (yes, I said 'Nashville') North Carolina before making such false and ungrounded statements. A lunch of pulled pork NC style, maybe a dash of extra hot vinagar sauce, a side of fried okra, maybe banana pudding for dessert with the 'nilla wafers at the bottom.... damn! My face is breaking out just thinking about it.

Yes, Mr. Midge. I agree. As to beautiful, healthy, happy, dress wearing young women, Montreal and perhaps Paris are some of the only cities to rival such percentages...damn! My face is breaking out just thinking about it.
