What do you know about Lumberton?

[Snake]

i don't how well server rooms and meth labs co-exist

Well if your severs run off meth head hamsters like on the Huddle then your Gucci.

I just wanted to use the slang word Gucci. It means good if you didnt know.

[Kettle]

yeah. i've never heard that, but the context of it made it easy to figure out. i just thought gucci was a designer before now. what will the hood make slang next?

People from Lumberton refer to Wilmington as the "Big City". Enough said.

They can't expect you to move across the state for a job. Most people can't leave the area where they are for a job.

this made me laugh.

ive been thru Lumberton just a few times heading to Wilmington and actually went into town maybe twice.

Only whats already been mentioned. Lots of native americans & lots of poverty.

I know someone who is friends with lots of Lumbees from there. She talks a lot about the culture & how many of them have very strong beliefs. She said it took a long time for them to accept & trust her because she was white and an outsider. But once she was accepted, they now consider her a part of the family. She is a social worker and said it's very hard for her to work with the NA population no matter where she is.

I'm not a fan of Lumberton (I work in Robeson County but don't live there). I don't understand all the hate on Lumbees. They are very good people as a whole.

Elizabethtown is nicer than Lumberton, but it's still a really small town KK. You would be about an hour from ILM and about 40 minutes from Fayetteville. You may be able to make the commute from where you live now...

Ever been to Valdosta, Georgia? I'd rather go there than Lumberton.

thats what the recruiter is thinking I believe. i mapped it with a generic destination of just the city, and it says 40 minutes one way. with the bridge traffic I do that anyway some days. just depends on what time i leave work.

Yeah, that's not a bad drive... 4 lanes to Hwy87 at Delco then 2 lanes to E-town. Should be very little in the way of traffic.

[Kettle]

if its smooth sailing it won't likely bother me. i hate sitting in the bridge traffic!!

[thefuzz]

E-town is much better than Lumberton.

Either way, I would probably commute if I could.

Saw the poorest home I've ever seen in my life driving through Lumberton. Run down single wide with a 15 foot trash mound in the yard and a kid playing next to the trash with a dirty toy. I had a sad. I'm sure there are good parts of the town, but I didn't see them.

[Kettle]

No longer talking about lumberton. Elizabethtown is the new topic. I see a few lakes, but they all just look like big ponds.
