"Retire to Fearrington - A charming country village near Chapel Hill, NC with bluebirds, belted cows and fascinating people of all ages."
And I thought, how strange that this little village in North Carolina is advertising in The New Yorker to try to attract some new residents. I thought I'd offer a kind suggestion to the good people of this quaint village: if you want to attract more residents, perhaps you should remove the word fear from your town name.
But it turns out, as far as I can tell, that Fearrington is nothing more than a new development created by an ambitious developer. The ad is much less surprising to me now.
It is surprising that the developer would call it "Fearrington" ... but not nearly as surprising as the belted cows.
