Small town

Tarboro is a small town and honestly there is nothing to do here. I have lived here for 4 yrs (my family have lived here much longer, and you have to drive 16-20 miles to dine out. There is one really good classy resturant in town, the rest are the "country cooking" little red checked tablecloth one room restaurants. The downtown area is quaint with beautiful victorian homes, but they are way over priced for this area.
Cost of living is high. The town and county property taxes are way to high. Your tax appraisal is way above the actual appraisal of your property if you attempt to sell. Utilities are high. It's really unaffordable for us to live here. There is a lot of the "good ole boy" politics here too. Anyway, it is just not the town for us.
