[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NC is still very southern. Everyone asks what church you go to. There are an astonishing number of places that don't open on Sunday. Happy hour is banned.[/quote]

Fake post.  happy hours are banned?  That’s the best bs you got?[/quote]

What isn’t open on Sunday. I would only think locally owned restaurants and boutiques would close.  I’m in nova and that’s the case here. Also malls and restaurants here (and I presume almost everywhere) also have limited hours on Sunday.[/quote]

OP of "happy hour is banned." Yes, in North Carolina, the traditional happy hour is banned. Establishments are prohibited from offering any sort of specials or discounts on alcohol.

Heck, until recently, alcohol could not be sold on Sunday until after noon. Because apparently a Mimosa at 10:30 would trigger the collapse of civilization.

I'm hard-pressed to think of anything, even locally owned, that was closed on Sundays in DC. Lots of stuff closed on Sunday here. Or absurdly limited hours. The children's library doesn't even open until 1 pm on Sunday. Farmers market opens at noon. Places close at 4 or 5. I looked into kids swimming and gymnastics lessons on Sunday; nothing. No one offers classes on Sundays.[/quote]
LOL!!!!!!! Your ignorance is hilarious and only reveals your weird bias against NC. Did you know that ...gasp...happy hour is banned in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont, too? Illinois just repealed the law in 2015, although they it’s still illegal to have two for one specials or all-you-can drink specials there. New York repealed its no-alcohol-before-noon-on Sunday just two years ago in 2016.  Oh noes, I guess we can’t send the snowflakes to Brown or Harvard or Middlebury!!! Too southern! Too conservative!

I am biased against North Carolina. I hate this state. I've not been hiding that.

But the no alcohol specials, combined with the closed-on-Sunday culture and social communities built around churches points to a southern, conservative mindset. What I don't get is why everyone insists it isn't southern. It's southern. Now, whether that's your cup of tea or not is an entirely different matter. Clearly, it's not mine. Maybe it is yours. But don't peddle this bunk that North Carolina is like the northeast, or Midwest, or whatever. It's solidly southern. The larger community around UNC is nothing like Boulder. Or Madison. Or plenty of other schools on OP's list.

Maybe college students would be largely oblivious to this; most college campuses have a nice bubble effect.[/quote]
