One of the most ecologically diverse and stunning neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, the area known as Kings Mill-Morgan Creek, has been home to all kinds of celebrities, from Dean Smith, who invented basketball as we know it, to singer/songwriter James Taylor, who reinvented what it meant to be a singer-songwriter. His lovely song “Copperline” was inspired by Morgan Creek, the neighborhood he grew up in. And so many doctors and medical faculty live there that at one time it was called “Pill Hill.”
