L Bo -
I have to say.. I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was born here, raised here and am raising my own children here.
Is it bc I'm stuck here- No.. Not even close.
I love this city.
I hear often people who talk s**t about it but honestly I can't say anything bad. A lot would say they're afraid of some parts of it but.. I grew up in some of the worst parts so maybe that's why I don't mind them.
The people that live in the bad areas are no different than anyone else, they just either didn't get the same opportunity as others or have lower paying jobs. But.. What's not to love-
You have country areas with cows, land, farms, city areas, suburbs, plenty of shopping centers, hundreds of thousands of food places, movies, skating, go kart, a d**n sky diving place, pools, parks, beach is 2 hours away, mountains are a few hours away.
Plenty to do. thousands of schools, some of the best schools for kids actually, a great hospital with a huge heart, cancer center, new state of the art ED & a helicopter to take you to Duke if needed.
With ft Bragg being right in the city, so many different types of people here and everyone is kind.. If you smile, 10 X out of 10, you get a smile back. I love it.
