4 Reviews & Comments About Henderson
i lived in Lumberton its s**t now i live in Henderson and honestly I'm shocked Henderson or Durham didn't make it Henderson is second worse to Lumberton on the report from last year
Another question- how did Henderson not make this list- I live in NC and every poll among the state residents for the past 5 years rank Henderson as the worst
I'm from Hendersonville. Not surprised to see it on the list.
I have been a resident of Hendersonville, NC for 53 years. I am very proud to call it my hometown. Next time, you think you want to include us, come visit. I would love to show you a different town than you have heard about. Actually, I would love to be the personal tour guide.
We are a beautiful southern hospitality town. We are known for loving home folks, amazing restaurants, loaded with churches, numerous banks, and hometown stores where you can meet the owner while shopping.
