The Patio
<blockquote>"There's another fellow who came home from World War II and moved back here by 1954. He built a place back here on Merritt Mill Road -- it's no longer there -- called The Patio. He was trying to make it go and all...And in the summer, too, there was a lot of people in Chapel Hill that had nieces and nephews and kids in New York and places, they would come in the summer to the south. So all these new girls in town, everybody was trying to show off. Nobody had anywhere to go, so all the kids would come to The Patio."</blockquote>
