Onslow is Fort Bragg with a little bit of ocean front. Let’s not kid ourselves it definitely eats unwiped ass.
 
My answer is Maxton to Lumberton. A former coworker who lived in Laurinburg told me Maxton is the shittiest town in the state, I never had the heart to tell him it’s basically Laurinburg East. Anything east of Lumberton (e.g. Whiteville) can at least claim the beach.
 
Have to admit I’ve never heard of Maxton until now, but whole-eeeee-shit is this Wikipedia entry something else:

As agriculture in the industry consolidated into larger corporate ventures in the 1960s, Maxton's status as a local market town declined. Far away from major transportation links such as Interstate 95, its economy continued to wane in following decades without the arrival of new industry. White people began leaving in search of better prospects, leading Maxton to become a majority-black town by 2000.[5] With a newly elected government comprising many black officials, the town began expanding its incorporated limits to include many old black neighborhoods.[6]In 2004 a highway bypass around the town was completed, depriving local businesses of the spending of travelers they had hitherto enjoyed.[7]
 
^ setting aside the blatant racism that is solid use of the word “hitherto”

My former coworker told me crime and drugs in Maxton is really bad. One of his friends bolted his safe to the floor yet burglars were still able to get to it with a sledgehammer.

James McDougald, an all-time Deacon great, was from Maxton.
 
I'll go with the Pitt County-Lenoir County flatlands. My mother grew up on a farm east of Grifton that supposedly had the poorest soil in Pitt County. Her parents eventually moved to Kinston, which wasn't much of a step up.

One of my uncles lived halfway between Tick Bite and Skeeter Pond Rd.
 
I’ve always wondered how Black Ankle got its name.
 
not NC but I remember once seeing a small road in the GA mountains called Snake Nation Road which I assume was the home of a militia or cult or something
 
We finally renamed one of our racially pejorative named mountains to honor Nina Simone in 2021.
 
Having just driven through Rockingham/Wadesboro, that corridor seems like a notable omission.

Driving through Rockingham on a summer Saturday is a special kind of hell.

I raise you beach/Pinehurst traffic coming through Wadesboro up 74 to the Charlotte metro on a Sunday afternoon. The 74/52 intersections (there are 2!) are where fun goes to die.
