I loved the Beat Duke! parade during my 1970s student days! I can't see it being a "thing" now.
COLUMN: Why do you think the Beat Duke Parade fizzled out?
Art Chansky writes about the bygone Chapel Hill tradition and wonders if it could ever make a return to UNC-Duke gameday.

Not a one. It’s disgraceful
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

I recall this pretty song with @MickyDolenz! I was age 12-15 in the Monkees' heyday and bought all their albums. Their time was a "Sweet Season,"Ms.King.😉😊
“Sometime in the Morning" (Goffin King) was recorded by @themonkees for their 1967 album More Of The Monkees. It features @MickyDolenz on lead vocals.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Leaf-peeping season has arrived in the Northeast and beyond, but weeks of drought have muted this year's autumn colors, and sent leaves fluttering to the ground earlier than usual.

Had Nov. 12, 1758, unfolded differently, you might not have heard of George Washington. Virginia regiments were caught in friendly fire, and the colonel rode out to stop it. The battlefield was lost to history.

Here’s @samwalkerobxnews.com and me answering every possible question you may have about the collapsing Outer Banks houses www.ncrabbithole.com/p/why-are-so...
Why Are SO MANY Outer Banks houses collapsing into the ocean?
Nine homes have been taken out by the Atlantic Ocean in just the last few weeks? Why so many? Why now? We asked a longtime Outer Banks journalist for some answers.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows
The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
