Producers are looking for a storybook, picturesque town with a population of about 15,000 and a strong sense of community to serve as the setting for the show, and Carrboro is among the finalists under consideration. <\/p>\n<p>Producers will conduct a town photo shoot on Friday at 3 p.m. at the Town Commons, and all residents are encouraged to take part. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We want to fill it up with Carrboro spirit.
