Yep. But that's what the road signs say... and how Americans spell it... however I actually have seen it misspelled as "Statesborough" before by Americans, esp. on Facebook events that are in the same town as my university.

Even the Allman Brothers song is titled Statesboro Blues. OMG, I AM showing my age there.

(AP) - A seven-year-old Charlotte, North Carolina boy was
at the center of a Mecklenburg County courtroom drama yesterday when he
challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history
of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody
to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations
requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy
surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than
his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge
then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out
they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate
family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life
among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy
to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check
legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge
granted temporary custody to the Carolina Panthers, whom the boy firmly
believes are not capable of beating anyone.[/QUOTE]

Oh, what a year can change!!!
