Edwards Home County's Largest

Carolina Journal Online ^ | January 26, 2007 | Don Carrington

[Howlin]

Orange County is also the wealthiest county in the state.

I doubt that.

[Mo1]

I don't mean to sound petty

But whenever I see big beautiful homes owned by dems .. I expect to inside to be decorated better then that

[Carolinamom]

Lead the way to reviving the moribund Guild. We got to have SOME fun during the next 2 miserable years.

[LonePalm]

I was born there and went to school there. As a county, it is definitely the high rent district for NC.

Last I looked, it had, by far, the highest per capita income of any county in the state.

Just remember that in John Edwards' "two Americas" the elites like himself are exempted from criticism.

[Carolinamom]

Looked like furniture floor displays. Rooms-to-Go?

[Howlin]

I live one county over; it is most certainly NOT the highest rent in NC. Most of the county above I-85 is farms and poor people.

Do you have a link to that information, because what I am seeing doesn't mention anything about Orange County.

[visualops]

10K- sheesh 5K would be a big house.
28K is just wasteful in every sense of the word.

[Howlin]

So I gathered. :-)

[LonePalm]

Might have changed. I just did a quick check and found Mecklenburg and Wake counties made the top 100 counties in per capita income in the country.

FWIW - 9 of NJs 21 counties made the top 100.

[Howlin]

We're 28th in "wealth" -- whatever the hell that is.

FWIW, Rex, North Carolina has the highest per capita income; I have NO idea where that even is.

[wagglebee]

Just remember that people like us really have no business even contemplating what our enlightened leaders do in their private lives. :-)

[Howlin]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain?

I get it now!

[LonePalm]

Robeson Co. of all places.

It looks like a one stoplight town on NC 20 just west of I95 between Lumberton and Fayetteville.

Rex, NC

[Howlin]

I thought there was nothing there except Indians.....LOL.

It looks like those are some kind of census areas; really weird.

[Carolinamom]

Lumbee Indians make up over 38% of the population in Robeson County. Far as I know there is no casino there, so what is the source of wealth?

[LonePalm]

Beats me. Ask Howlin or Constitution Day.

[Constitution Day]

Beats me too!

I really have no idea. The Lumbee aren't even federally recognized as a tribe, are they?

[sappy]

Man of the people. I feel your pain. My dad worked in a sawmill. I'm the first person in my family with the biggest home in my county. LOL
