This year, Chapel Hill and Carrboro saw beloved local businesses shuttered or forever changed by devastating fires. The Siena Hotel remains closed after a tragic incident, while Gates of Beauty Auto Shop and Public Impact were condemned, leaving owners and neighbors reeling. Yet, there’s hope—Mediterranean Deli made a triumphant comeback after two years, thanks to community support. These stories highlight not just loss, but the resilience and generosity that define our towns. How have these events affected your daily life or favorite spots? What can we do to better support local businesses facing hardship? #Business #ChapelHill #Carrboro
