Roanoke Rapids? I used to live near Ahoskie, but the downtown there could not have been described as "vibrant" at any time since about 1980.

- ideonexus 10y agoElizabeth City, NC. It's a small waterfront town of about 38,000 people. Almost like a mini-Norfolk... which is like a mini-Inner-Harbor. Very quaint, and I use the term "vibrant" in the scope of it once having really impressive fine-dining, outdoor music, and other offerings for what a small town can offer. It should be noted that the town is building it back... but with tax-dollars. They've opened a small science center, a huge museum, and a stage theater in an attempt to bring the businesses back to the downtown.
- kogus 10y agoOk, I have been to Elizabeth City before. A former employer held a job fair at ECSU once and I volunteered to man our booth. So much of Northeast NC is in a beautiful setting, but economically crippled. We lived in Murfreesboro until about 7 years ago. I passed through last summer and it hadn't changed a bit.
