More is not always better. Especially when it comes to immigration.

I was born in Wilson and graduated from Wilson High in 1953. However my family moved from there shortly afterward. At the time there was no drug culture. Nor did Wilson have any police that I can recall. I have only visited there briefly four or five times since 1954, so I know nothing of present day Wilson. I do know that the grammar used in most of the postings would have made Ms. Jones, my high school English teacher, cry.

Busy mom I'm guessin you had some traumatic events happen to you in wilson. It might not be the best town in the world but drugs are rampant in just about every town around wilson. The only difference is the ratio of druggies to non druggies. Its a small population. I graduated from there with a class of 12 or 13. Now if you have just two or three out of the class doing drugs then it is a pretty high percentile. Now bob79 the police force does fall by the wayside there. When I was there the police chief was a drunk. I worked the concession stand at a basketball game one night and you could smell him from about twenty feet away. I'm guessin your a police officer there. Given you haven't been there very long. They are about as crooked as they come. One person in your family gets in trouble and you can't drive from one side of town to the other without getting pulled over and searched three times. Believe me I know it happened to me the day my family member got out of jail. Chock it up to good hardworking policemanship. Haha. I would like to know if you are a policeman there. Post back if you are. I love it when people defend something and its in there own best interest. now given it is a nice town a bit on the older side and a lot of the houses aren't in the best of shape. Fixer uppers I suppose and the job market for the town isn't that great. I wouldn't have changed growing up there for anything. Teach your kids about the dangers of drugs and teach them the consequences of them or they will get hooked up on them wether in vegas or wilson.
