Thousands of people evacuated buildings across Washington, D.C., and New York City on Tuesday after a moderate earthquake in Virginia that was also felt as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C.

Little brother!!

The ball was barely up in the air for the Wildcats opener against Ragsdale before coaches started inquiring about East’s rising senior Gabe Strathern.

“Everybody talked about his athleticism,” said Hartsfield. “They all want to know about his background. That’s what this tournament is about.”

While most Chapel Hill residents are devoted to the University of North Carolina (it’s right in town) — local fire trucks have been painted Tar Heel blue — this is more than just a college town. Good education and health care jobs abound in the area. Educated converstion is easy to find: nearly half of adult residents have a graduate degree. With more than 700 acres of parks and additional protected natural areas, locals say it’s sometimes easy to forget that you’re in an urban area and not in the middle of a forest.
