Hear It From Heels (via Spotify)A few weeks ago we asked you to tell us what song brings you back to your years at Carolina. And you answered. In fact, so did your mom, your dad, even your grandmother. In response to the enthusiasm, we created a Spotify — because we’re hip — with curated playlists filled with the praises that defined every Carolina decade. There’s nothing like a good playlist to inspire the nostalgia of Chapel Hill. Come back to your little slice of Southern heaven any time, any day — put in your headphones and play that funky music, Tar Heel. |
