Alright.. I know Lumberton, NC has a pretty bad reputation. However, if you’ve lived there all your life like I have, them you’ll have had a chance to see the good - whereas the media only displays the bad. Lumberton has a community that feels like a family, it’s a beautiful little town, and there’s so much history! It’s easy to judge a book by its cover. But actually looking inside and reading the book makes all the difference. Of course there will be bad things. Name one place that there isn’t... I’ll wait... that’s what I thought. Looking inside the book also shows you the beauty, the relationships, and the amazing souls that lie within it. That’s Lumberton, North Carolina for ya! :)
LUMBERTON IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE! IT IS A PLACE WHERE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY STILL EXIST. LUMBERTON HAS BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THERE AREN'T ANY NIGHT CLUBS IN LUMBERTON, HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE A FEW BARS. IF YOU AREN'T INTO CLUBS AND BARS YOU CAN ALWAYS HANG OUT AT THE WAL-MART. THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL HOMES WEATHER YOU WANT AN APARTMENT, SINGLE WIDE TRAILER, OR TWO STORY HOME LUMBERTON HAS IT ALL. LUMBERTON DOES HAVE TWO DIFFERENT GYMS AND QUIET A FEW PUBLIC PARKS. RESTURANTS AREN'T AT A SHORTAGE FAST FOOD IS ALWAYS BOOMING. TRAFFIC ISN'T BAD AT ALL, PEOPLE HERE ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE MOST OF THE TIME. LUMBERTON IS A DIVERSE COMMUNITY IT IS KNOWN AS THE POOREST PLACE IN NORTH CAROLINA, HOWEVER THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY, MULTI-CULTURAL, AND DOWN TO EARTH.
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.
