Fayetteville, NC, via Amtrak

The Residence at Prince Charles Hotel, 450 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC

Via Amtrak Fayetteville, NC, resembles most Southern cities with a less dense low-rise skyline of old brick buildings, lots of car traffic, tall trees, and very few people in the city center.

The Amtrak station platform is about the busiest place I noticed in Fayetteville that did not include automobiles.

For the smoker or one who wishes to breathe fresh air, you can get off here and smoke a cigarette or a blunt with a new acquaintance or just stretch your legs for a moment since Fayetteville is a minor stop. 

When in Fayetteville, I want to check out the formerly Prince Charles Hotel now The Residences at Prince Charles Hotel on Hay Street.  Prince Charles Hotel began in 1923 and the hotel opened in April 1925. It is a seven-story, Colonial Revival style steel frame building sheathed in brick and concrete. It features an Italian Renaissance style palazzo. The original section contained 125 rooms.

Also, Fayetteville offers a variety of year-round Farmers markets in downtown that carries produce, fresh flowers, baked goods, milk, cheeses, snacks and other tasty treats, all sourced from local southeastern North Carolina providers.
