Welcome to Durham

You have just moved to Durham, North Carolina, a liberal bastion in a red state. You were drawn to this town by it’s southern charm and burgeoning economy. You’ve found a cute home in a neighborhood close to downtown and met your fabulous neighbors, Mitch and Shannon and their two kids, Edison and Huxley. You are talking to them when the postman arrives with a rubber band of returned letters, they look at each other and sigh.
