Once a small mill town, Carrboro has become sought after for its community lifestyle. The old mill was converted into a quaint shopping “mall” in the 1980s retaining the old wood floors, high ceilings and beams and the old brick exterior.   Elmo’s Diner has been a favorite restaurant for affordable food – breakfast to late night. Weaver Street Market, a cooperative food store, also offers affordable high quality self serve food for eating on one of its outdoor picnic tables on the green or inside. You don’t want to miss Thursday nights for wine and music on the lawn or the Sunday morning Jazz Brunch. Check out some other wonderful restaurants in Carrboro.

 Carrboro, NC is full of interesting things to do. The farmer’s market every Saturday morning has become one of the biggest attractions to the Chapel Hill and Carrboro area. Colorful interesting people. Wonderful fresh vegetables, meats and cheese. Handcrafts. Flowers and plants. I never can go to the farmer’s market without meeting someone I know. People come on bikes, walk or drive. They bring their dogs and "park" them at the entrance.  It is centrally located right next to the Carrboro town hall.
