Unfair comparison. At one point, before liberals gained control, Detroit was a highly important, world-class city. Fayetteville has always been a POS military base town.
Hey, hey hey... Fayetteville is a fine cultural icon of the South. Nowhere on earth do they have more bars and tattoo parlors even one stretch of road. They even sometimes call it FayetteNam -- demonstrating the similarities to a French colonial paradise.
I can tell you have been there. I wish all the refugees from NJ who move to Cary would visit Fayetteville first and be convinced that is what NC is about. Maybe they would move to Texas or Arizona instead.
If Fayetteville is NC's Detroit, what does that make Durham? Chicago? In Durham the diverse residents shoot guns at city busses.
Durham is the fine home of Duke University, the Durham Bulls baseball team, one of the best medical heart centers in the nation, and other fine cultural icons. What's not to love.
I'll admit that if you lived there, having a big hospital close by would be a good thing. In case you were like shot or something.
There is a reason it is called the "City of Medicine".
The interesting thing about Durham is that when I moved here back in 1990, Durham was a disaster. Over the past decade, Durham has re-vitalized its downtown (Tobacco District, etc.) and is now the go-to spot for our start-ups, banking, young people, high housing prices, the wealthy, and many entertainment/dining venues (DPAC, etc.) Durham is actually one of the best urban turnaround stories I have ever witnessed.
Interesting.
