Living in Rocky Mount
I live in Rmt and I will be moving in a few months. I have a two bedroom apartment and my utility bill averages 250 during the coldest winter days and hottest summer days. I travel about 2 weeks out of each month and keep my thermastat at 75 and avoid using extra energy but it doesn't matter. The utility company is robbing these poor people here. It's really ashame. The crime rate is the same as charlotte even tho it is considerably smaller. There are many murders here but they are unpublished. Last year, the first week of the year, there were 7. The gangs are overflowing, the city is run down, there are no jobs availble, Rocky Mount has the highest unemployment rate in N.C and the racism is a trip. If you are looking to move here...Don't. There are no opportunities for advancement and the level of crime is outstanding.
