Halloween in central North Carolina has one destination: Franklin Street.

Franklin is essentially the main street of the town of Chapel Hill, and every Halloween a quarter-mile section of it turns into the biggest party in the state, drawing a crowd so big the police have trouble controlling it (though they try, desperately). Last year it drew about eighty thousand people. This year, I decided it was the perfect spot for some linear wanderings.

But first, this YouTube costume deserves special mention - even though I saw and documented him before the actual tasking happened.
