Pittsboro is not the place for Conservatives - 2/11/2021
I lived in Pittsboro for 12 years. The topography is beautiful, rolling green hills. The weather is ok with occasional snow, but mostly mild climate. It can get pretty hot in the summer. The location, about equal distance from mountains and beaches, is perfect. Also ready access to the lake is great. The politics suck. The Yankees have found the place and with a few notable exceptions, they have drought their liberal politics with them. If you are conservative, you will not be comfortable there. I loved my home there but became so distressed over the politics, we sold out and moved to Alabama. The story is very old, as a conservative, if I don’t like something, I don’t involve myself. Whereas, if the liberals don’t like something, then it has to be eliminated! Conservative? Try Alabama, you’ll like it much better. If you were born and raised in Dixie, you’ll be very uncomfortable

Pittsboro and Chatham County Economy - 6/3/2010
For the most part, Pittsboro and Chatham County consist of 3 basic areas; Northeast Chatham, Pittsboro, and Western Chatham. These three distinct areas though part of the same County are in some instances vastly different from each other, economically, demographically, and in terms of market breakdown.
The Northeastern Chatham area has part of it's population in Pittsboro and part in Chapel Hill, which is actually located in Orange County. For some, a Chapel Hill address is more desirable. This area consist mainly of residential, with little if any commercial with the exception of the Cole Park Plaza area near the Chatham/Orange County line where some retail, restaurant, and grocer stores are located. Most of the residents commute to work in the University, Medical, or companies in Research Triangle Park. The County as a whole is pretty much a bedroom community, much like Cary was 30 years ago.
The area boast the highest percentage of high end housing

pocket of liberals in a red state - 12/26/2007
I live in Chatham County, just outside of Chapel Hill. It is an area with a definite liberal slant politically. It has the flavor of Chapel Hill/Carrboro as more people are moving this way to get more house for the money than you can "in town."
The drawbacks are the long commute & the wildlife, as in copperhead snakes & ticks galore. Wish I knew that previously. Goes along with the climate, which is also a drawback, in my
