I think the post above explains it pretty well!

I went there for several days, renting a condo with a sister and cousin for sort of a miniscule family reunion. We visited the palace (which I enjoyed, but I like that kind of stuff) and walked around the waterfront, had lunch in some waterfront restaurant, and visited the shops.

I couldn't wait to leave...and I like my sister and cousin.

The "feel" was all wrong.

I was referring to the LLN's post that said this:

I would opine the weakest part of New Bern is the government and the police department. The PD is a joke, the new chief apparently has a hug a thug mentality, and it shows. There is a lot of crime, but it is very restricted to areas I doubt you would visit. The mayor is better than the last one, but when all is said and done, he is a joke. The streets are beyond terrible, and there is very little public access to the waterfront...all governmental failures.
