i have rental units outside of Winterville. The first thing I do is tell all of my tenants to stay clear of Winterville. It is ridiculous. There is a gas station there, where police apparently live. . Keep driving, pay attention, and don’t look at anyone and you should be alright, especially at night(!) I live down the road. Many horrible stories of overzealous police behavior. They could have a thriving urban center if it was not for the gestapo mentality. It is actually a pretty town. Every time i have to go to that store I swear they hang out at the door and actually "sniff me". Winterville is an "anything and everything" trap. It is worth the gas to drive around Winterville.
