Not one to be scooped,
The New York Times recently ran an
article on how to spend a weekend in the third point on the Triangle, Chapel Hill, or the Southern Part of Heaven, as locals like to remind people the town is known. Chapel Hill combines small town southern charm with serious history and cultural relevance. The campus of the country's oldest public university - UNC Chapel Hill - blends seamlessly into the town, bringing with it that unique collegiate mix of intellectual headiness and gritty social discourse. As the
Times notes, Mildred "Mama" Dip may have been the perfect symbol of that mash-up. The matriarch of the Chapel Hill restaurant institution, Mama Dip's, who passed away in 2018, was as well known for her chicken and biscuits as she was for her correspondence with the Obamas.
