Morganton, NC
re: Morganton is small, safe yet close enough to l -
8/16/2016Agreed, on all aspects. Having moved to Morganton from Southern California 7 years ago I can attest to a community that is more homogeneous than cultured. However, in the 7 years I have been here I increasingly meet people who have moved here from other states: Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. So the cultural fabric of Western North Carolina is changing. Slowly changing. Everything happens slowly here. This can be relaxing but sometimes frustrating because the customer service and communication is lacking in most cases. One other aspect that may concern someone wanting insight to the town is that after dark there is virtually nothing open accept Wal-Mart and a grocery store. Overall, Morganton is safe, beautiful, affordable, and kept clean.
