Not for the easily offended, the Fuquay-Varina Memes Facebook page brings to light the quirks and idiosyncrasies of Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding towns. The page is written anonymously by a local resident, who joins the Main & Broad team with a bi-monthly humor column. Click here to read the first installment.
Family: Wouldn’t you like to know.
Day job: See above.
The start: To get away from politics during the 2016 election, I started posting funny town memes and it really took off. People like the idea of being in on the joke.
Followers: More than 21,000. As the area grows, the page grows.
On anonymity: It gave me more freedom to be a caricature of myself. Everyone is braver behind a keyboard. It’s easy to be snarky when they can’t come after you.
Haters gonna hate: Some people don’t understand what a meme is or they don’t get the humor, but mostly, the town and the people have embraced me.
Home, sweet home: I’m from a suburb of Atlanta, and there’s no small town feel there. In Fuquay-Varina, I know who runs the bakery and the breweries. It’s like a big episode of “Cheers.”
Bojangles or Cookout: Bojangles, for the Boberry Biscuit.
