Pink House Forever

The Pink House was like an underground United Nations. Chapel Hill's aspiring artists, musicians, poets, DJ's, activists, actors, writers, nudists, flutists, knuckleheads, and couch-surfers, all living together in (relative) harmony, united by their common bohemianism. Life inside the Pink House...

Spudtowne I know. Is the Mouse Trap where Mouse from the Cave lived? I was at his wedding. Knew him from the Cave but actually first met him when he was my youngest son's Rainbow Soccer coach.

Mouse Trap was indeed where Mouse (once) of The Cave lived...right at the entrance to Polk's Landing. Incredibly entertaining secret concerts in the barn back behind the place. (I was at that wedding too!)
 
Neil Diamond turns 84 today...here's the Chapel Hill connection...Jack Whitebread's campy "Neil Diamond All-Stars." Jack once had a decent voice, by this point he did not but the yearly shows had by that time become an event. Eventually he and his band, genuine all-stars, had joined up with the "Be Loud Sophie" fundraising project.

I recall an evening where Jack Whitebread got stabbed at OCSC but recovered sufficiently to buy a case of PBR at the Teeter before 2 a.m.
 
Touting Midway's attractions these days. It was pretty much a dead zone between Chapel Hill's most westerly spots of Pyewacket, The Cave, and Tijuana Fats/Henry's and The Cat's Cradle for years. About the only thing along there on Rosemary was the Taxi Company and on Franklin, Crook's Corner.

Some call it Midway; some call it Chapel Boro; we call it cool.
