Will Restaurants on Chapel Hill’s Franklin Street Recover from Covid? | Eater Carolinas

"The flagship public university endured a chaotic fall reopening after leadership pushed for in-person classes despite warnings from local officials and faculty, only to close campus and shift to remote learning less than two weeks later after hundreds of students tested positive and widely shared images of crowded social events garnered national attention; the episode left the institution widely criticized as a cautionary example of poor pandemic planning and intensified harm to the town’s businesses." - Matt Lardie
