Carrboro, North Carolina

Originally known as West End, this mill town had the railway depot for students arriving for the University of North Carolina. Now, the mill is a funky mall, the railway station is a restaurant and the town is a less expensive place to live than Chapel Hill. The mix of shops, art galleries, restaurants and music venues has give the town the nickname "Paris of the Piedmont".

  • An awesome place, indeed, but perhaps better understood as the Brooklyn of Orange County.
