P.J. Hairston's workmanlike homecoming complicated by injury

Posted Mar 16, 2013
As the ACC tournament begins Thursday afternoon, a cable repairman works to fix the large television at the front of Boss Hog's BBQ on East Bessemer Avenue. P.J. Hairston, who starred at Dudley High School in Greensboro, spent countless hours working in the restaurant that his dad, William, and William's parents have operated for the last 23 years. The family's Tar Heel ties are obvious upon entry. (Fayetteville Observer)
