Mileage Mike, thanks for posting. This is my hometown. Born there in ‘46 & left in June ‘57 for South Florida. My heart has always been in & near Fayetteville, great childhood memories. Had family scattered around, most gone now, elders died off, younger ones mostly moved elsewhere. Much of downtown has changed over the years. I was hoping to get up that way sometime this year but depends on covid-19’s plans.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for posting these tours! You have no idea how helpful it was to come across these!
You’re welcome and I greatly appreciate you watching!
My mother's hometown. She left in the 60's for DC where myself and siblings were born and raised, but Fayetteville has always been like a second home and we visited often. I still have family there. I actually lived there for a couple years (2004/05) working for Cumberland County.
I lived there from 1972 until 2004. My stepfather retired from the post office. While i do NOT miss it at all, it was surreal taking this trip down memory lane!
I’ll be relocating to NC soon and this video helps me to have a better vision of my future home town hehe
Awesome. Glad it helped!
Did you end up moving there? Looking to move my wife and kids down here, someday! Wondering how you liked it
@@brantwilson nope not yet.
Greensboro, Durham, Burlington, Gibsonville, Graham, North Carolina are all great!
It's really a wonderful place to live!! Everyone helps each other!
I did not have any PTSD from Iraq but I am having it from Fayetteville. It is a city with LOTS of potential but a corrupted Family Court. No wonder crime rate is elevating. So sad.
Hey all u folks whining about the 'Ville....You shoulda seen it in the late 80's.....it's like another world from back then.
I was there early 70's! It's a lot nicer looking town now.
Spent 3 years at Bragg and MANY nights on Hay St. Looks a lot cleaner than I remember it. I see they still haven't fixed those rough a$$ railroad tracks though 8-)
Thanks for the tour.
I wish they would start making sky scrapers and bigger buildings to make our city more appealing to the public,and it’s not like it’s not a big city
Been overseas 6 years now and tho it's far from perfect I miss it
@0:53 the white building on left was where Carolina Soda Shop was in late 60's...Best burgers and milkshakes!🙂
Avoid Fayetteville...unless you like crime or drugs...
Is that why homes are so cheap? Im possibly looking for a fresh start but don't want too much crime. I understand drugs are everywhere and usually the bigger the town, the more crime per capita. Thanks 👊
@@PAULY-P stay outta here
Where are the people and there's no traffic. Looks like a very peaceful quaint but boring area.
It's a pandemic sir. What is it with you Northerners and wanting to be amongst large crowds all the time?
@@leonation89
Profiling much 🤣 At the time of your post, many southern states had lesser restrictions than the northern states. I'm not being rude, i just thought your comment was funny. Thanks for the giggle 👊
Fayetteville actually has a lot of traffic
@@leonation89 we are used to vibrant places not dead zones
Hey Leo, I don't want to be around crowds. I'm a local native Piney from South Jersey who enjoys nature. Stop being so judgemental against northerns and there's no need to be offended. I'm a rebel at heart and the south should have won for gods sake. I hate city folks especially from NY. I'm looking into moving to Fayetteville but not in a low income area. This Yankee piney has a retirement pension and a great selling business and I'm get Social Security now too. But based on the videos of Fayetteville it looks like there's not much to do or going on there.
Can you do the Fayetteville Outer Loop Video I-295
Yeah I might check it out the next time I visit that side of the state.
Mileage Mike Thanks man It’s will be finish completed in 2025
Got turned down for a job in Fayetteville at Fort Bragg. I'd like to thank them for saving me from relocating to purgatory. What an armpit!
@Ebk Rohan That place makes Fort Bliss look like Disneyland.
You didn't think so then didja?
I have to say Fayetteville is one of the enormous cities to tour in the homestate of North Carolina. In my opinion I love visiting the cities. But I don't want to move to the cities. Sometimes I view cities as dangerous places to live. But I love visiting Fayetteville. And they say it's known for Fort Bragg of the army and navy. I think cultures from other countries all over the earth come here as well. You would need a road map to help you know your way around this city. I seen videos on TH-cam where they do international folk festivals of other cultures from other countries because they come here to perform.
yeah but a lot of fayetteville is very rough
It typically looks like a French town, clean, tidy and quiet LOVE
Another comment i want to make about this city is the events of the zombie walks. Now, I seen videos on TH-cam about the zombie walks that takes place in downtown. But my question on my mind is how do they get their zombie costumes so real looking just like in the movies? Because I never seen such real costumes during Halloween.
They're NOT costumes, Ed...
QuickSand Brang me here
I know where he filmed that video at
Where are the people?
This was around the beginning of the lockdowns in 2020.
I'm originally from Suffolk, Va. I moved from Memphis, Tenn., to Fayetteville, N.C., in 1984. I attended 3 elementary schools called Cliffdale, Teresa C. Berrien and Pauline Jones. I went to Cross Creek Mall. I went to Fort Bragg and Spring Lake. I kept living in Fayetteville until I moved to Augusta, Ga., in 1990.
Because the Market House no money flow
Work with us
Fort Powell
I went through there not too long ago
What’s going on at 15:33?? Yep, that’s the Fayetteville that Fayetteville is famous for! 🙄
Fort Powell ! Fayetteville
JERMAINE LAMARR COLE 🐐
They right fayetteville is not a good place to live
The right Fayetteville is in Arkansas. But I've never personally been to Fayetteville NC. So what does that tell ya?
@@PAULY-P I'm in Fayetteville nc. Worse place for crime.
@@PAULY-P fayetteville nc it’s very dangerous
@@journey2mma998
I have heard. Not my cup of tea. Thank you for the info 👊
Though Hay Street does look charming, and there are parts of Haymount that look picturesque, the majority of Fayetteville North Carolina is a toilet bowl.
part of haymount is ghetto and the other part is nice it’s weird asf
@Ebk Rohan
Is that a question?
You wrote: “No it doesn’t?” Doesn’t what? Your question makes no sense.
Fayetteville sucks.
Its a big town but where are the people? It looks abandoned. And no traffic either. It doesn't give a good impression of the area. Here in NJ there is nothing but people and traffic in all our towns. Fayetteville looks lonesome, dead and boring as hell. And where are the residential homes?
Fayetteville's large population is mostly due to the large military base Ft. Bragg being annexed by the city. The downtown is actually quite small relative to its size on paper. Also you have to factor in the time of the video with most people staying at home.
Barry, Fayetteville is not NYC or Jersey sir. You don't compared a small Southern city to a Northern city. Especially to where you are, as Mike stated it was early in the morning and people were either at work or at home being safe. Remember, this is a pandemic going on.
Fayetteville is not a good place to live imfrom nj and ny and sorry I came here
@@dianagreen4050 My husband accepted a job offer and we are planning to move to Fayetteville. I am a NYer moving from Connecticut. Trying to find a home away from Fayetteville. What is your experience?
