closeAs I near graduation at N.C. State University, I can proudly say I've had only a few regrets during my time here. One of these is Hillsborough Street.
As I read your April 22 story on Western Lanes and Theresa Fenner, I regret that Hillsborough Street was not being the happenin' hub that it was when my dad and cousins came here pre-Y2K.
Fenner, Western Lanes and Mitch's Tavern are three of just a handful of things that still give Hillsborough Street some character.
