Franklin Street Starbucks Temporarily Closed; New Location to Open Friday
The Starbucks location at 103 East Franklin Street temporarily closed its doors Sunday as the business moves to a larger storefront across the street. Located underneath Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery at 100 East Franklin Street, the new location is tentatively set to open Friday at 6 a.m, ahead of the new UNC school year. Renovations for the space began in 2019, which was previously occupied by Medici, a Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant.
The right way to water
When I first started to garden, I would haul out the sprinkler as I believed in the necessity of watering the whole plant, essentially giving it a bath. Then I took a course on (very) basic botany at Duke Gardens that radically changed how I watered plants. To understand watering, it’s essential to know the basics of how a plant functions.
Playmakers SYC dazzles with The Prom
The Prom – this year’s musical production by The Summer Youth Conservatory (SYC) at Playmakers Repertory Company, the resident theater company at UNC – is excellent. The show runs through Sunday, July 28. Tickets are $10 for youth and $20 for adults, and they can be purchased online or at the box office. The production is in one of the small theaters at the Gillings Center for Dramatic Art, as technical upgrades are made to the main Playmakers’ stage. The intimacy of the small theater is an added thrill.
