Man, who would have thought that parts of the South would be more socially acceptable than California.
Cumberland County, NC went blue. For those of you who don't realize this, Fayetteville, NC, the county seat, has a building in the center of downtown called the Market House. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_House)
"[The] Market House, in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is "one of the few structures in America which employs the town hall-market scheme found in England. Meat and produce were sold under the open first-floor arcade while the second floor served as the town hall and general meeting place. The cupola bell still rings breakfast, dinner, sundown, and curfew."
The Market House, completed in 1832, was built on the ruins of the old State House. It was a town market until 1906. Slaves were sold there before abolition. It served as Fayetteville Town Hall until 1907.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973."
A National Historic Landmark. Where they sold slaves. The county went Obama 59-41.
I guess I don't have to hear as many shitting-on-the-South jokes for a little while.
