I know it's been discussed before but man, the rate at which they find dead bodies there is alarming. I live in a metropolitan area and we have our fair share of homeless as well but as far as I know people aren't finding dead bodies at that rate, unless it's just not making the news.
between being right off of i-95 and being built basically around a large military base, fayetteville is remarkably transient. much of the agriculture industry (tobacco) of the mid-20th century has disappeared and hasn't been replaced by much else. it's a waypoint for those traveling north and south and has certainly earned its reputation and the moniker "fayette-nam".
