Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

An unfortunate story for the big port city to the south ...

... that we often visit. It's from The Week, Carmen's favorite magazine.
"Obviously, any policy that allows a sexual-battery victim to spend a night in jail is a flawed policy." [Port City] police spokeswoman on a college student who was jailed for an outstanding warrant after telling authorities she had been raped. A jail worker refused, for religious reasons, to give the woman behind bars a dose of the morning-after contraceptive pill.
There's always something going on in the big port city. At least this time they had the brains to realize it was a boneheaded move, and the honesty to admit it.
