Can't live here again

5/4/2006
I was born and raised in Fayetteville. I left for good in 1997. This is a dingy military town who's future hinges on Ft. Bragg. Unless you want to work in food or retail, don't expect a decent job. Good paying jobs are in very short supply. There's nothing here for young people. This is a town for baby boomers and older. It is also a bible belt town, churches are everywhere, along with people trying to get you to join. There is diversity to the population, but like another poster said, it is still unofficially segregated. Nightlife is a disappointment at best. Singles market, not here. The females here either have kids very early, overly religious, or are chasing after the GI Joes. The summers are hot and the humidity is stifling. Crime is high, especially for a place of this size. My favorite thing about Fayetteville is the fact I don't live there anymore!! Anyone thinking of moving here, don't think twice, think 3 times, then chose someplace else.
