Chapel Hill Real Estate Search

I sort of thought this would be a quiet weekend as we get ready for July 4th week and settle into the summer - but not a chance.  Even though the students are mostly gone for the summer and we can actually get a good parking space on Franklin Street, there is alot to do this weekend.

First off, swim meets all over town.  Take a look at the schedule for Chapel Hill swim teams and think about coming out to cheer on your favorite pool.   We love swimming at the Southern Village Club.  And when we’re done there tonight we can go up to the Village Green on Market Street — and listen to the NC Symphony!   Wow - playing selections from Strauss, Mendelssohn and Wagner, resident conductor William Henry Curry will lead a fabulous outdoor concert beginning at 7:30pm tonight. 

Then on Sunday, think about joining the jazz brunch at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro for a performance by the Magnolia Klezmer Band, 11am-1pm.

And you can always visit me at my open house on Gardner Circle this weekend, where I’ll be greeting home buyers and visitors from 2-4pm.  Call or email me, Reg Morgan if you need further information.

One of the best things about relocating to the Chapel Hill area is that you will never miss out on a good meal!  Our area is filled with great restaurants - last night my wife and I dined in Provence!  I mean, at Provence in Carrboro.

What a great place.  We had a delicious meal, starting with a salmon terrine and escargots in roguefort!  For my main course, I had the herb crusted rack of lamb - and it was spectacular, with grilled beets and onions and a potato gratin on the side.  My wife went with a special entree - a quartet of fish, including lemon sole meuniere,  sashimi grade tuna au poivre, salmon en papillotte with bernaise sauce and grilled tuna with a fabulous tapenade crust.

We regretfully skipped the desserts to get over to Southern Village and see Mamma Mia at the Lumina.
