Default wilson is the worst

I work in the local ER, I have been threatened, kicked and had my car broken into. So much for trying to help these people. In 8 more wks, 1 less RN in Wilson, I won't miss them.

My favorites:
Hillsborough
Durham
Wilmington
Asheville

I will say about Wilmington I LOVED downtown, Forest Hills, and the proximity to the beaches. The rest of it was just too much traffic and messy.

Least Favorite:
These really aren't THAT bad. I just haven't been to some of the places commonly mentioned out east, so this is as bad as it gets for me.
Burlington
Butner
Greensboro -I just don't like a lot of the industrial look. Seems like you have to drive through some of the rougher areas, whereas in Durham you can avoid it all together. It definitely has some cool areas and it doing a lot of great work much like Durham.

I like to hear reasons why a place sucks

For example, I don't like Charlotte b/c of the traffic.

I guess we both think Dur-ham suuuuuux because traffic on I-40 and the Dur-ham freeway was my reasons for posting!!! Atleast in Charlotte the mass transit options around the traffic is much better. In Dur-ham, you're stuck behind the wheel.

I agree. I hope one day we will have a lovely light rail like you. In the meantime, I know all kinds of ways around I-40 and avoid it like the plague when needed. Luckily, the rest of Durham is pretty much a piece of cake!
