Can you name the ugliest city in North Carolina?

Based on online reviews of various travel sites, Alot Travel chose one ugly city from each state.

North Carolina’s ugliest city, Dunn, is the most populous city of Harnett County, North Carolina, United States.

The national travel website said Dunn, gives all the impressions of a charming Gilmore Girls-esque small town but with a little bit of… spice.

The website further added that one resident on Niche claims that Dunn “has always presented with a small town feel. However, it is being over run by issues like gangs, violence and littering.”

Unfortunately, they’re time growing up in Dunn was spent watching it “progressively deteriorate.”

Another resident wrote quite passionately about the lack of job opportunities. Apparently, the only opportunities are brought in by fast-food chains. Plus, there’s no public transportation, so good luck running around and having fun if you’re a kid according to Alot Travel.

Your Thoughts

For North Carolinians who cherish their state’s beautiful landscapes and thriving communities, hearing about Dunn's challenges might come as a surprise.
