Love how you incorporated old film footage of the state in your video. I ❤ stuff like that.

A lot of areas in NC were previously dependent on tobacco, textiles, and furniture. All three of these industries collapsed on nearly the same curve in the 80's and 90's. If an area was dependent on all three, that area suffered more than most. The Charlotte area had banking to fall back on, and the Raleigh area had tech. It would be nice to see the other areas find their footing once again.

But I'm planning on moving to the Smithfield-Selma area.

I grew up in Laurinburg, moved to Charlotte as soon as I graduated college, and lived there until I became a traveling Respiratory Therapist and moved around the country for several years. I had to go back to Laurinburg to live with an aunt when my heart went electrically and anatomically haywire and I could no longer work, after many misdiagnoses, that was fixed, but other parts of my body had suffered the consequences and I was permanently disabled. Now I live in northern NC in Mount Airy. It makes me sad my hometown made this list. I was so ready to get out as a teenager and so set against ever returning, even when forced by illness, but it IS my hometown. I do have great memories of it. Friday night lights at Pate Stadium and the main drag which was Main Street and Atkinson in a big circle.

It's a fact, many went for 5-7 years & played the game in VA & helped them to rebuild their school systems, prisons, etc. We can't allow the same to happen once weed stores are setup & running! This would be the chance for the few family farmers who wants to stay in the business to prosper, especially in the eastern part of the State. Not to mention, it costs a lot to keep folks locked up over marijuana convictions for years upon years.

We were treated as "strangers" right away. People were not kind or friendly especially women for some reason. The men were better. Every day we drove to different towns; Black Mountain, Hendersonville, Maggieville e.t.c. Hendersonville was about the best out of the lot though it was not my cup of tea. EVERY OTHER TOWN was shockingly horrible. Maggieville was really bad. The main strip of stores was so run down. They all looked out of business. Houses were for sale for $600k! Unreal.

I lived much of my life in Pamlico County on the waterfront. Where it used to be all woods, tobacco and soy farms, 19th century churches and fishing boats, land is being snapped up by rich retirees from New York who have no concept of hurricanes. I also lived in Charlotte for a while. I came back to visit last summer and can't believe how crowded it's become, even though housing prices are outrageous there now. We bought a house in the University City area for $135K; last I looked it was more than double that now.

I liked it, an interesting idea

Curious, I was born and raised inNC and have lived the greater portion of my life here and I love it. NC is in transition into unknown territory. When I was a boy in the 50s NC was primarily an agrarian society. With modernisation of farm machinery, the loss of tobacco, and corporate agriculture taking over the greater portion of farm land is disappearing, In the North it's the Rust Belt, here in the Bible Belt we have the Rot Belt...farming is rotting. Many of the noted towns and cities in this vid are dying because nothing has come to replace the income structure farming generated. Sadly, these communities will wither and, at best, just a very few people will stay to sustain them. North Carolina will, at some point, rise from the ashes of its lost agrarian life and become a decent place for all of its people. I lived in the thriving metropolis of Aurora on the south bank of the Pamilico river as a boy. It was determined to be dying then, but 65 years later it is still there, despite aspirations of becoming a 'boom town' when Texas Gulf started mining phosphate. Those dreams never manifested. None the less, Aurora is still alive, not a shining star by any means but, still alive. It has potential to grow and thrive in a new century...all the places in you video do too.

I hope we find a way to bring back local independent farming to fill the void left by tobacco. My grandparents shared acreage with the extended family, grew the best tasting peanuts, potatoes, corn, peas, beans. The soil here is great, I buy as much local as is available. I miss planting and harvesting with my family. Small scale but so rewarding in ways money can't buy.

I worked in Durham during the late 90s/early 2000s. Around 3-4 am into the late hours of the morning for a newspaper redelivering missed deliveries. It was rough, and yes, often dangerous, but it taught me something about "ghetto" neighborhoods, as you so often put it. There used to be an elderly lady who would take us into her home right off the street and offer us refreshments and conversation. We got some of the best tacos we ever had in our lives at about 6 am from a food shack, we ate at local restaurants where we were treated more like a guest at church than an outsider. We interacted with people we may have never come into contact with otherwise, so quick to help us find locations, people that would give you the clothes off their back... And I can tell you this, it taught me bad neighborhoods are most of the time only 2% bad people, everyone else is just trying to get by and mind their own business.

Was born in raised in Laurinburg. After watching this I'm super proud of myself for making it out --living in it and looking back it was really rundown, but it didn't feel all that unsafe (although many neighborhoods were, we lived out in the sticks). I moved to Washington DC area for a long time then moved back to Greensboro. I don't agree with his last minute assessment lumping Greensboro in --it's a beautiful city with TONS of beautiful neighborhoods and safe schools. There are pockets of crime and low income areas but it's not nearly as bad as the places he mentioned. Very good video!
