1. It is a college town -- UNC Chapel Hill.

Liberal, progressive, beautiful, expensive.

2. Been described to me as "a blue island in a sea of red"

Is that accurate?

3. But we could move there, get jiggy with some red and make a beautiful sexy purple!

4. Durham (its neighbor 15 minutes away) is very blue too

and it is home to Duke University. I live in Durham.

Also, Carrboro is a small city next door to Chapel Hill and is probably the most liberal of them all--some call it "The People's Republic of Carrboro." (jokingly)

Durham--Chapel Hill--Carrboro make a very blue area in a sea of red.

8. We don't need a zoo in NC, we can just put a fence around Chapel Hill

That's a famous Jesse Helms quote. I went to school there in the 80s but don't go back much.
