This is part of the confederate memorial area of the cemetery. There was recently vandalism on some of the statues in protest of honoring the confederate soldiers. It's an interesting discussion for sure.
Really neat place to visit. Had a great time brushing up on some NC history.
I love checking out college campuses if I'm visiting a college town!

This is a really unique bar that just opened down town. You can poor yourself as much beer as you want of each beer and you pay by the ounce. They're constantly changing the taps out too. They have a pretty good sized menu, but the food isn't spectacular.
