My First-Ever Trip To Chapel Hill (Part Two)

Posted Nov 18, 2022
Tipoff of the UNC basketball game against College of Charleston wasn’t for a couple of hours, but here I was, on the verge of getting my first glimpse of the Smith Center. We planned to start the day in the Carolina Basketball museum, but I drifted right towards the famous arena of my favorite team. While the area was clear, I wanted to get some pictures.
