Poor, Sad Little town - 1/19/2019
Some call it "sweet carthage" really...no industry other than the "Chuck Wagon" restaurant. The city has had high hopes for years of becoming a tourist destination with the 4 or 5 murals painted on buildings (no hotels of fine restaurants within the city) Very few businesses can sustain there, several of the banks have closed and moved out of town..Take a minute to drive thru this poor little town, only held up by a jail and a court house. Town has no interest in attracting real businesses that can last the test of time. Do yourself a favor and go to Southern Pines or Pinehurst NC.

It is one of the few places that downtown is still the place to be. It is the county seat, and so there is a sherrif, town police or county police car at every turn. There is little to no worry allowing your kids to wonder down to the town park named after a fabulous doctor who happens to now be a potter! My boyfriend's grandfather was the town dentist, like his father before him and so on. There is so much positive history here, with a combination of education, politics, and art with several equestrian and golfing communities down the road. Not to mention the local airport with the best
