Durham, Chapel Hill Mayors Show Their Colors

 

Durham, N.C. - A friendly wager between the mayors of Durham and Chapel
Hill reflect that the Duke-Carolina rivalry is as fierce as ever - but
in either case, the loser gets a special night out on the town. 

 

If UNC loses, Durham Mayor William V. "Bill" Bell is invited to a night
on Franklin Street and Asian cuisine at the Lantern Restaurant, which
The News and Observer ranked as the 2008 #1 restaurant in the Triangle.
If Duke loses, Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy will receive tickets to a
show at the Durham Performing Arts Center, the newly opened largest
performing arts theater in the Carolinas.

 

If every loser won such sweet deals, we should all be losers, right?
Ahh, not really.  Far more difficult than accepting defeat is the second
part of the wager - If Duke wins, Durham Mayor Bill Bell will supply
Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy with a Duke blue sweatshirt, which he will
wear at the next Chapel Hill Town Council Meeting.  If UNC wins, Chapel
Hill Mayor Kevin Foy will supply Durham Mayor Bill Bell with a Carolina
blue sweatshirt, which he will wear at the next Durham City Council
meeting.  

 

The game is scheduled at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Cameron Indoor
Stadium, Duke University. 

 

Go Duke!
