If you’re not from Chapel Hill and you’re planning to attend the annual downtown Halloween party, forget about it. Town Mayor Kevin Foy has a message for you: Stay away. From the Daily Tar Heel (emphasis is mine):
The trend is toward larger and larger crowds; the trend is toward longer and longer nights, and that’s a trend that we need to reverse,” Foy said.
The plans are in the preliminary phase; a group of town leaders will meet next week to go into more detail. But Foy said the town will focus on decreasing the number of people who come downtown from other cities.
“I think the first thing is to make it clear to people that they’re not invited,” Foy said. “It’s a local party.”
So much for southern hospitality.
