People, places, and things

Included in an email to me was the following, "Out of personal interest, how did you find Chapel Hill (North Carolina) when you lived here? I've been a student at UNC for 4.5 years now and am always curious to know what others think of the area."

My reply? "I thought it was a bit jazzy with a historic Georgtown, DC flavor and trimmed with a twinge of not-so-subtle racism. Kind of like the Old South in drag. Some of the stories in my memoir, I Say A Prayer For Me, take place in and around Chapel Hill."
