Wilson is a BORING DUMP

The only good things about Wilson are, its closeness to bigger cities such as Greenville, about 25 minutes to the east, and Raleigh about 50 minutes to the west, Barton College, we are on I-95, and we have the original Parker's Barbecue. THOSE ARE THE ONLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT WILSON.
This city sucks when compared to Greenville and Raleigh, there is nothing to do here and to shop or eat out at a decent restaurant or just do something entertaining, you have to drive to Greenville or Raleigh.
Crime is really bad. Racial tension can at times be bad. The city is divided into a black section which is run down and poor and a white section which has large homes.
There are no high paying jobs here. Again, if you want something that pays, you have to drive to Greenville or Raleigh and at times driving to Raleigh can be a pain because of the traffic along 64 and 440.
Wilson is an arm pit of a city. Some people can't decide if we are in Eastern Carolina or in the Triangle though we are east of I-95, overall people are divided along college allegiance, UNC, ECU, NC State, and Duke and this carries over in to local politics and the reasons why we can't get our geographic location correct. I am looking to get out of here so if you want a better quality of life, head towards Greenville or Raleigh.
