My family has roots in that area. It's a small, County-seat with traditional values, surrounded by tobacco farms, and commercial timberland, with some cotton farms to the south. The cost of living is low, and pace of living slow. Brunswick County's population is about half African-American, and there is a small, historically black college in Lawrenceville. Welcome To Saint Paul's College In addition, Southside Community College is a few miles away near the junction of Interstate 85 and VA Route 46. Some locals commute north to jobs at Fort Pickett or Fort Lee army bases. South of Lawrenceville on the NC state line, is Lake Gaston which attracts many retirees (fishermen/boaters) who have built vacation homes. Local shopping/dining is very limited - the closest WalMarts are in (I think) Emporia and Blackstone.
