Totally Unauthorized

My cousin Nick writes from North Carolina:

Chris,
After reading your blog today I called our good friends Ricky and Sheila, residents of Chalet Village, to ask them to define “restricted” as it appears on the sign.  Ricky and Sheila live in Asheville, NC and just recently completed their rental house in Chalet Village.
They told me “restricted” in that area of the country means “no trespassing” as we know it, and has no reference to race, religion, or age..   His words were, “the sign means,…if you don’t belong here, don’t come in”

So that’s the story, I guess.  Seems like the sort of thing they might tell the staff at the front desk, no?
