    LUMBERTON IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE! IT IS A PLACE WHERE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY STILL EXIST. LUMBERTON HAS BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

    I currently reside in Lumberton, NC. I have lived in the small town for 15+ years which is a long time! I love my city but I would love to see some MAJOR changes. It is a nice place to live but there are no job opportunities whatsoever. Getting a job is almost impossible. To acquire a great job, you would have to search outside of Lumberton. I would love to see more schools built and remodeled as well as more job opportunities so that the residents of Lumberton, NC would no longer have to struggle in everyday life.
    I'm a former resident of Lumberton, North Carolina. Throughout my entire childhood, I lived a happy life in that town. I enjoyed going to schools, restaurants, and the theatre. The theatre was my favorite place to go, during the weekends, because I enjoy my favorites on the big screen. So, one of my go-to places were the fast-food joints in Lumberton. Therefore, I enjoyed Outback, Waffle's House, Zaxbys, Wendy's, and Ruby Tuesday. It was delicious, and I wished to go back. And the schools are okay to me, but if people want to find out than come to Lumberton. It is a great spot to unwind, chill, and live.
