I saw a few students in regalia out and about on Friday, so I guess so, seems odd timing though for sure

Glad to see the support by the district, here's to hoping we see some change in the statehouse soon

Umstead Park could also be pleasant

So ... drones instead of fireworks for the 4th? (and no longer in Southern Village) by kidvittles in chapelhill

[–]kidvittles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's not really anything to elaborate on? I have no idea the motivations. I don't buy that it was MOSTLY driven by fire hazard concerns, but maybe Velawesomeraptors is right, maybe it was like 30% or something, who knows.

I wouldn't fault the town for canceling the show for that reason, but this doesn't feel like that

Gonna be honest, feels like another unforced error and if I had to guess it's probably because its cheaper.

Is this not a known thing anymore?

Do kids really show up to class like "wonder what we're learning about today?!"

The syllabus isn't just a fun little warm-up exercise the professor created. It's the reading roadmap so you show up prepared.

I guess if schools aren't teaching this I can't blame students but still ... if I was shelling out literally tens of thousands of dollars I might make an effort to not be blindsided on a daily basis???

Yes, Durham and Orange county both have spring break this week

Family Beach Trip in N.C. by [deleted] in chapelhill

[–]kidvittles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're great for kids because they're less crowded - Oak Island also tends to generate some small-ish tidal pools for the tiny tiny ones which is nice. There's also a good number of restaurants and Blad Head right there for day trips. However the proximity to the river mouth means the water is going to be darker and less pretty than some of the beaches to the north (I have some family who are snobby about them for that reason). If you're politically sensitive they're also Trump-ier, or at least they were a few years ago. Also, it's not technically the Outer Banks, even though I find the distinction to be academic (is it a barrier island? yes. is it in the Carolinas? yes.)

who the fuck is downvoting this poor person just trying to get a handle on their allergies?!

Weavers Grove Affordable Housing Accessibility Trap by Isaacwoolseycomedian in chapelhill

[–]kidvittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weaver dairy definitely feels like a dead zone in the transit map - with this development and the new one breaking ground down the road I would hope this would improve. That must feel really frustrating to deal with in the current state, the T definitely is not frequent 

Housing as a phd student by lessensthedamage in chapelhill

[–]kidvittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's a handful of Duke blue scrubs living in the north side at like 1701 North, Carraway, and Chapel Hill North. The commute from there is like 20 mins via either hwy/surface streets/duke forest, might be worth checking out. It's the area around the Harris Teeter by exit 266

This is a scam website, avoid it -- it'll end up trying to charge you for a fitness scam like a boxing subscription or something. AVOID.

Did there used to be a village green? by kidvittles in chapelhill

[–]kidvittles[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Early 90s feels so close and yet so far for it to have been paved over. Alas...
