Celebration on Franklin Street


If a picture of worth a thousand words, the above video must have been worth an entire novel. This was the scene at the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets at about 11:20 last night after Carolina’s come-from-behind 79 to 73 victory over Duke. I filmed this while standing on a flowerbed on the southeast corner of the intersection, right in front of Top of the Hill.



Later on this shirtless student climbed onto the tree above me and started shaking it, causing leaves and all kind of stuff to fall upon me and fellow bystanders.



He quickly attracted the attention of one of Chapel Hill’s finest who came by and took him into custody.



On way back to the car I saw a WRAL camera on the southwest corner of the intersection and a bunch of students posing for what may have been a live shot. If you look in the left corner, you can see WRAL reporter Dan Bowens.
