Need to get away from it all? Why not pay a visit to Cameron's Shrine Room, by far one of the more unique spots in the Chapel Hill area. The shrine, located on the second floor of Cameron's gift shop in University Mall, is a small room filled with an eclectic collection of junk and memorabilia. Visitors to the Shrine are greeted with the sounds of running water and a continuous recording of "Always look on the bright side of life," made popular in motion pictures including the 1979 Monty Python spoof "The Life of Brian" and the 1994 "As Good as it Gets." Come find peace, inspiration, and a newfound appreciation for garishness.
