<p>I've heard that Franklin Street is a big playground for UNC students.</p>
<p>What is there to do there that is so fun?</p>
<p>Playground in a weird, hyper-maturity kind-of way. It’s a street running on the north border of campus filled with plenty of restaurants, shops, clubs (I think. I went but never kept an eye for any) and the like. I suppose the “fun” is the group aspect. I saw huge groups of kids everywhere when I was there. Also, the stores and restaurants get really packed during game time and everybody seems to be hanging out the door watching the game on the TVs. </p>
<p>But yeah, sorry that’s kinda all over the place, but it’s the best I got. </p>
<p>Oh, and if you follow it down, I believe it takes you into Carrboro as well. There may be, at times, events and things held along the street. Not too sure much else.</p>
<p>It gets like this during Final Four time:

<p>Right now Franklin st is full of drunk and flirting UNC students. It’s great!</p>
<p>Sounds awesome. By students, you must mean attractive girls right? 
</p>
<p>Ahaaaaa. Wow.</p>
<p>Well as we discussed in the other thread, almost 2/3 of them are girls, and a reasonable number of them are attractive :P</p>
<p>So you caught on…:D.</p>
<p>I think that point alone is enough to make it fun, unless the OP is a female. :p</p>
<p>I can assure you, OP, that there is more to Franklin Street than just the girls, so you’ll enjoy it regardless of what sex you are.</p>
<p>Though might I add, I don’t find the guys all that attractive, but perhaps that’s simply because I’m biased. Sadly, I don’t think I can say the same for my boyfriend. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Psh, whatever. 
</p>
<p>You know you like 'dem Chapel Hill bois. That’s why I couldn’t even keep you away!</p>
<p>Heh. (:</p>
<p>What an odd discussion.</p>
<p>Franklin is fun just because it’s hoppin’. It’s where you walk down when you’re going somewhere else, so you bump into people. It also has food that’s open till 3:00 AM, and Yopo (the yogurt pump) is cheap and a hang out place when it’s warm. People just get their yopo and chill outside and catch up.</p>
<p>^ i got pizza at gumby’s at 3:40 this weekend after a party, sadly they only serve large’s at that time but i convinced myself it was worth it…soon after i ate **** on the pavement and destroyed it</p>
<p>Yeah, the hours of Gumby’s are a bit variable… as is the service. They forgot about my order once so I just walked over and they literally handed me dollars out of the till to make up for it. Odd. But so so good.</p>
<p>I agree, gumby’s can be great late at night. But the staff can be really incompetent.</p>
<p>And everytime I’ve been there at night, there’s always been a crying girl.</p>
<p>^ LOL…I wonder why. Maybe her boyfriend discovered the advantage of the inbalance.</p>
<p>…Ok, I really need to let that go. :D</p>
