You are a bad person. At least a little bit.
There’s an election happening – right now.
For all my train fans, NYC subway girls or anyone who's ever taken the Amtrak from Durham to Charlotte, I have some good and bad news. The bad news is there is no chance of the Triangle getting a commuter rail at any point in the foreseeable future. GoTriangle’s feasibility study found it would cost $3.3 billion and that the region's local governments would need to fund the entire thing.
After a second campus lockdown due to an armed individual this month, our North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland, Rutherford) suggested that UNC needs more firearms to be safe.
There's $120,000 worth of millionaire Political Action Committee money coming into Chapel Hill politics, Triangle Blog Blog first reported. And if you ask me, they absolutely do not want you voting in the election.
So, you’re a new student and you don’t have — or don’t want — a car, but you need to get places. Luckily for you, the Triangle has a robust bus network. Here's what you need to know to get around.
Chapel Hill Town Council is considering an update to the zoning code that would allow for denser development and more middle housing. The proposal has also received substantial criticism from not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) activist groups wanting to preserve Chapel Hill in amber.

On Feb. 22, on the steps of South Building, UNC students and UE 150, the local workers union, gathered to demand what housekeepers deserve: a livable wage.
Caldwell Hall is home to the UNC Philosophy Department and the Parr Center for Ethics. It hosts classes, events and guest speakers, with multiple professors having their offices on the second floor and basement.
When Kevin McCarthy negotiated to the House Freedom Caucus for the speakership, one of the things he promised was a vote on Fair Tax. Dubbed the "Fair Tax Act," the bill was first introduced in 1999. Why has it not passed in 24 years? Because it's a terrible idea.
On Christmas Day, thousands of North Carolinians woke up to freezing temperatures and no electricity.
I walk down Franklin Street a lot — like the entire length of it — at least once or twice a day. As a result, I know it pretty well. I also know what it’s like to almost get run over by lunatics driving out of the Chipotle parking lot at 30 miles per hour. So, this is a plea to those who drive on Franklin like it's I-40 — I want to survive walking home.
The N.C. General Assembly is sitting on a $6 billion budget surplus. Despite that, there’s clearly not enough money to get the lead out of UNC’s water, to address the nearly $1 billion in deferred maintenance UNC has or to expand Medicaid (actually, the federal government would give us nearly $6 billion for this one).
Imagine you’re in an old western duel. You don’t think duels should be a thing, but in order to stop them going forward, you need to survive that duel.
This article is the journalistic equivalent of those anti-smoking ads with the old people saying “I smoked 17 packs a day and it ruined my life. Don’t smoke, kids”. I have FiveThirtyEight's polling averages pulled up right now. I am addicted. It's not healthy.
Hey Elon, your cars suck.
I have a love-hate relationship with the UNC coal plant. Yeah, the UNC coal plant. The one you probably didn’t know existed.
