MAYORAL AGENDA ADVERTISEMENT
TOM STEVENS, Mayor of Hillsborough My favorite annual event in my town… Last Friday. OK, that’s not
really an annual event, but it happens every year from April through September (with the art walk continuing all year long). The Hillsborough Handmade Parade is my hands down favorite – although that’s every other year. One word to describe my town is… Love. That’s the word that I hear people use over and over and over again. Love Hillsborough! My last meal in town would be… some fabulous dish at Panciuto. Or maybe LaPlace. Or maybe that wood-smoked BBQ and ribs at Hillsborough BBQ Company. A BLT at either Bacon’s [Meat Market], Bona Fide Sandwich Co. or Saratoga Grill would be a contender (it’s amazing how many places have great BLTs). Man, I’m getting hungry. The best

way to spend a sunny afternoon in town is… walking along Riverwalk. The best hidden gem in town is… El Restaurante Ixtapa or Big Bob’s City Grill for food places. Uniquitiques or Carlisle & Linny Vintage Jewelry for
shops. Montrose Gardens, not so much hidden but only open a few times a year. Hughes Academy and The Regulator Monument for a quiet historic place. A visitor to my town might be surprised to learn… How much this little town
has significantly touched American culture (e.g. Bill of Rights, end of the Civil War and beginning of NASCAR – and also through music and literary arts). A visitor shouldn’t leave town without… A stroll on Riverwalk to see the Patrick Dougherty stickwork sculpture. It’s magical. CHM
