beautiful C.H./ugly Raleigh

September 3, 2007

Congratulations Chapel Hill you are much more attractive than Raleigh. There is no excuse for some of the people I have seen in downtown Raleigh. A few weekends ago, I made my way out there with some old friends to catch up and have a grand ol’ time. Which we did. But it would have been so much more glorious had my eyes not been scarred by all the leftovers from 1990. There were way to many females with the poofy hair that I remember from the 90s and way to many people who looked like they could be 90.

Now, I realize that Chapel Hill is a college town, and there is a much higher concentration of youth, but damn. Even when you’re not 20, you can still look good. Now. I will say that there were plenty of people out with far greater style and looked a heck of a lot better than some of the people I see out in C.H. I get tired of seeing the same clothes on 30 different people. At least the non-ugly Raleigh people are taking it a step further.

It’s a happy medium here in Chapel Hill. Now if we could only burn all of the boat shoes and shirts tucked into shorts.
