Urban Wayward Youth... or .... Welcome to Nowhere

I am currently in North Carolina visiting my friend Nix.
She is probably one of the few people that could drag me here with only a slight struggle.
The trip was really good, you know for being in the south.
Honestly I am not a fan of the south, Not gonna lie.
So me, Nix and her friend which I will call San, took a little trip to a place called Roanoke Rapids which is right outside Raleigh NC and all I have to say right now is Wow.
I truly don't think my words would suffice so I will be stealing the lyrics of Paper Rivals' Alabama to describe the town:

This white trash sunset
no exit off of this freeway
this southern climate
humid kill vultures meal freeway
my redneck mistress
victory for those who leave this freeway
trailer suburbia
prison cell, part of hell freeway

state where fast is always slow
so the wind cant ever blow
hopelessly yours alabama

void of beauty for miles
three tooth smile, change the dial freeway
abandoned autos
one bedroom home for the drunk and stoned freeway
nothing ever sits just right
we'll escape this place tonight
hopelessly yours alabama
hopelessly yours alabama
hopelessly yours alabama

Yeah it was like that but scary and worse...
