Hey Lon! I totally get it. You were referencing the well-known (especially in comedy circles!) town of Elon, North Carolina. As they say in “the biz”, you really haven’t made it, till you made it to Elon.
Elon, Alamance County’s Comedy capital
Cushioned in the center of Alamance County, Elon is just a 15 minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Burlington (Alamance County’s very own “New York City”), so you’re only a hop and a skip sway from world-class community theater and dance! If cigars, sunglasses, and cowboy boots are more your thing, you can find all of the above (plus books!) at the JR Factory Outlets--also just a hop, a skip, a toss, and a pop fly down rhe road.
“Open from 8am to 9pm, Daily!”
What’s more, the nearby Elon University, has been acknowledged by such thoughtleaders as George Saunders, David Lynch, Bono, Stephen Hawking, President Barak Obama, and even the likes of Elon Musk.
Please forgive this hamfisted attempt at CTSF. I’m in the middle of a 5 hour bus ride, have a LOT of time on my hands, and frankly wanted to see if I could pull this off with my Galaxy S4’s tiny tiny keyboard. That’s also gonna be my excuse for any weird formatting…
Loved the piece. It and the responses it’s received have really made me aware of the awesome people on Medium and the tether of community that links them all together.
