For those here that say they have never seen any "southern hospitality" in the years since moving here need to take a long look in the mirror.
Perhaps it is very true that you have never received any, as southern hospitality is not the normal response to outsider arrogance or a condescending attitude. You reap what you sow.

Where in J-actionville did you go to. I have been there many times and all though traffic is horrible I would not say it was that bad although crime is growing. Greenville is another that has bad traffic and growing crime.
My step-daughter lives in Fayetteville and I agree its the pits.

I asked my wife as she is from Jackoffville, she said it must've been Court St.
My comment for someone saying to stay where you are or go somewhere else,We are relocating to north carolina, My husbands family is from there.Although my husband has been gone for 25 years,We are good ol southern Indiana people here.Just going back to our/my husbands roots.
Hillsborough is a town with a split personality. On the south side, there are tons of fast food restaurants & it's far from attractive. If the only part of Hillsborough you see is the area near the highway exits, you won't be impressed with the town. However, if you drive north just a mile or 2, you'll find a sweet, quaint little downtown area with great, historic buildings & museums, as well as lovely restaurants (like the patisserie run by an honest-to-goodness French pastry chef). There are some beautiful, older homes in that area & some gorgeous newer neighborhoods, too.
Hey everyone..OP here...it has been so long since I posted this question and I thought you would all like to know that we chose to live in North Durham. After extensive research, we learned that Durham is a beautiful, artsy, exciting, diverse, historic and friendly place to live. We live in an absolutely beautiful community and have been welcomed with gifts and hugs--yes, HUGS. My husband also works in East Durham (gasp!!) and that is supposed to be the "bad area"! We always say that East Durham is like Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood compared to the bad areas of our native New Jersey/Philly!! [MOD] removed [/MOD] Best wishes to you all!
Since you are in N. Durham then you need to slide over to Hillsborough if you like history. Cornwallis found it so you shouldn't have any problem finding it.
