DTH at a Glance: Coffee at midnight

It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving, and we are crawling to the finish line just like you. Here’s the buzz around Chapel Hill:

QUOTABLE QUICK HITS

• “I go home before the sun comes up. And when you don’t see a single person walking around or out doing something it makes everything a lot harder.” Lots of people work the night shift in Chapel Hill, but that solidarity only goes so far in the face of an off-beat circadian rhythm and 4 a.m. loneliness.
• “They’re the ones that have kept this team fighting. They’re the ones that have kept this team together." On Saturday, UNC football played for its seniors — and it paid off, giving the Tar Heels their first, and last, home win of the season. 
• “There is everything from rat heads with glowing eyes to fantastic ball gowns.” A new exhibit in Wilson Library gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the production process for PlayMakers' Repertory Company.
• OPINION: "Folt needs to articulate her moral and philosophical vision for the University, not just a set of quantitative goals that avoid hard political questions." Carol Folt has been at UNC for four years now — it’s time for the chancellor to stop playing it so safe.

CITY AND STATE

• Glenn’s Tattoo Service in Carrboro has been around since 2003, trying to buck stereotypes about people with ink. 
• For one small North Carolina town, two write-in votes was enough to win a mayoral election.
• New York, L.A., and... Raleigh? The NC capital is investing in a new logo to become more nationally relevant.

FROM THE NCAA

• UNC field hockey made it to the Final Four for the eighth year in a row, but won't make it back to the final game — they lost to No. 1 UConn after two overtime periods and penalty strokes. 
• UNC men's soccer will advance to its ninth Sweet 16 in last 10 years after last night's 2-1 win over UNC-Wilmington.
• It’s a game of inches for the UNC women’s basketball squad: a three-pointer at the buzzer rolled in and out to finalize a loss to the underdog Southern Alabama Jaguars.
