Carrboro is a small town that was once part of Chapel Hill. It has it's own downtown too. It's a very walkable downtown area, plenty of places to eat and shop. Parking can be a bit of a challenge at times. Look for public parking near the Open Eye cafe or if you patronize the shops/restaurants at Carr Mill Mall there is usually plenty of parking.
