(3,334 posts)half poc. It's a quiet town about 15 miles North of Jacksonville NC which is heavily populated by Marines, veterans, and their spouses and whose families mostly seem to be biracial. Our town is the kind of town where if you are in a hurry don't go into a store where the owner is alone because you will end up talking about your families and weather for at least half an hour. An hour if the owner has a new grand-child. You don't see pickup trucks driving around with trump or confederate flags and very few political signs even though it is highly Republican. People would rather hug you instead of shaking hands, but unfortunately, you can't do that now. You won't go into a store and see someone who is not wearing a mask. We really love this place. I just reread my post and in my mind, it sounded like something the Manager in Our Town would say so I rewrote the first couple of lines.
