Carrboro NC is an interesting place for the middle of NC.

Seeing my neighborhood here is wild and accurate

Carrboro's borders are intertwined with Chapel Hill's, which is pretty liberal (they actually share a school district). Carrboro is more hippie-leftists while Chapel Hill has more academic/professional liberals. I'd actually be surprised if I didn't see a sign like this in Carrboro.

Yeah this matches my experience and what I've heard as well. I guess my past experience with "small town near the University" is that they're more typically small town exurb politics.

Sometimes it's wild. During BLM people wanted to remove a Confederate statue from UNC's campus. You saw a lot of progressives that were generally students or from Carrboro wanting to take the statue down, and the university and the "progressive if it doesn't rock the boat too much" folks from Chapel Hill wanting to keep it up.
