Great showcase of my hometown. I have lived here for 50 yrs and Fayetteville has a made a lot of progress in the development of our downtown and surrounding areas. Esse Quam Videri "To be, rather than to seem"
@Joseph Barnett probably not in the foreseeable future. We don't generally return to the same place twice as we're on a mission to get to 100 countries. We enjoyed being there though :D
People always complaining about something instead of enjoying what they can participate in weekly. Lots of great things about Fayetteville and some bad like any city.
Dragon Manifest I’m from Baltimore and moved here when I was young the ghettos here might look different but have the same types of people at my college we had 4 to 5 shooting within less then a year we also have assaults both sexual and physical don’t let Fayetteville fool you also the homeless population here is extremely high for such a small city. We have meth house explosions and people sell drugs on every corner and if you don’t see it you must be blind. And there a very few activities here if you want to do anything you have to go to Raleigh or Charlotte which is pretty far away. and if you think downtown is a good option think again people in Fayetteville barely support our small businesses they go out of business within a year or two. Worst part about downtown is how racist the people are my friends and I are black women and can’t go anywhere in Fayetteville with out experiencing racism in the city it is way better don’t come to Fayetteville as soon as I’m done school I’m leaving. With out the military base this place would be nothing and everyone knows it 😒
@Joseph Barnett This month and the next three are a touch busy for myself and my husband...with me preparing for several performances and him preparing for art shows. Although if you're interested in attending one of the shows you can always find the dates listed on my other socials!
Your the opposite of me although my family are from fayetteville NC they moved to California from fayetteville cause my dad had military orders to go to fort Irwin California and to this this day I still live here
A weekend in the armpit of NC. I have lived all over NC. All the big cities in NC. I’ve lived in little country towns too, like chadbourn, tabor city, and Sanford. Fayetteville is a horrible place to live.
I grew up in Fayetteville. I moved over 30 years ago and never looked back. Horrible, crime ridden city. Hate it every time we go back to visit family. The crime element is even worse now. Tearing down Hay street and rebuilding did not help. Still a violent and crime ridden city.
I don’t remember it being so great when I lived there. A man and woman actually killed their child in a house down the street from us. Maybe that tainted my view.
I stopped by this town for a few minutes to use a restroom at McDonalds one night. When I went inside a guy pulled up in a van. Soon after he began walking around the parking lot. I came out and he walked up to me and told me his vehicle had broken down somewhere down the road and he needed money. I was only here a few minutes and had a guy trying to scam me. Talked to friends in North Carolina and they told me that Fayetteville is a dangerous town. I don't recommend going here.
I’m considering moving there, and I was just wondering. Having something that represents black heritage and culture in a positive way is important to me. Just like you would want your children to be proud of where they live and be able to relate, I would like the same. Not race baiting... which I had to Google, I was just asking. You got really touchy and offensive for no reason. Be nicer.
James Phillips a lot of people who like outdoor activities like it here but honestly, there’s better place in NC that offer that as well bad is better. The only reason people know about this place is because of Fort Bragg. If Fort Bragg wasn’t there, that place would be even worse.

Finally a positive testimonial of Fayetteville North Carolina, I'm one of the many transplants from the mid west and I love this city.

I'm in australia and am now dreaming of going to america just to go to this place!
This looks like an amazing place to visit! We can't wait to check it out for ourselves 😀
@Joseph Barnett yes, we were there last year for a week. Hay St is really nice and we also really enjoyed visiting Cape Fear Botanical Garden :D

@@joshuadell3279 yeah I'm back in California now. I liked the slow living in NC
@@timicacollins9530 one thing we probably didn't like was the some of the drivers here
@@joshuadell3279 yeah I can see that
@Dragon Manifest no staying home in Long Beach California I got family there u might know them
Nice video thank you
I like it here and live here but the drivers suck cause I nearly got into an accident a few times
When I was stationed down there I could've sworn the state motto was " Get out of the road asshole!"
@@elmospasco5558 possibly p.s. thank u for your service
I still call Fayetteville home

Why?
It is an HBCU college
Fayetteville State University yes
This was definitely pre Covid because at least 3 places on this video have gone out of business, some due to Covid, some even before Covid.
Well, it might do for some but the lack of employment here is on a critical level :-( :-( :-( got to get back to Moore County where the work is! :-)
That is just downtown 😂
right 💀 this city is trash it’s nothing here other than mcdonald’s and walmart’s everywhere you turn😭
im from fort bragg nc class 1998 pine forest high school
Lol! Okay
If you watch this video and think Fayetteville is a place to visit...it is NOT..GO TO RALEIGH OR WILMIMGTON..YOU WILL BE THANKFUL.
Paul exactly!
@no name or I can go spend some time there and make up my own mind.
Gordon Owens troll

@Paul Fayetteville is just as good.
