Franklin St.
I live in Granville Towers so I am very close to Franklin St. So of course, I had to join my suitemates in the run after the basketball game. O and on the way I learned how many people can get on an elevator at one time. It was definitely crazy. Because I am so close, my suitemates and I were able to get there before the other 10,000 people. It was funny seeing everyone sprint towards one area. People were screaming, hugging one another and of course, doing the famous Tar! Heels! cheer. Before I knew it, more people were running to Franklin and people started to climb on signs and telephone wires (not the smartest thing to do though). I looked up and there were like 3 news helicopters giving live feedback about Carolina's reaction to the win. And there was a pretty big bonfire going on at one point. After a little while, I came back to the dorm because I hadn't really gotten much sleep over the week. But we still had the TV on from watching the game and it was really cool seeing Franklin St. when I had been there around 5 minutes ago. All I know is that it's a good thing a Duke student was no where close to Franklin..

Thats funny, I live in granville too but was unable to celebrate becuase I had a psychology test the next day. But interesting you mentioned people climbing the signs, becuase I know one of the guys who climbed about 15 feet up one of the "walk"/"don't walk" signs.
