What is going on in North Carolina?

No kids play outside in North Carolina anymore, and why are there very few packed School busses in North Carolina anymore? :( Why is North Carolina so unpopulated with fewer opportunities than other states? The mountains are not Colorado, or Sedona Arizona tourism, not crowded like that! Why is North Carolina so quiet with empty buildings? Why is North Carolina so quiet, and why are there fewer people in NC than there are in other states, in general? Also, why is nightlife in North Carolina so dull? Also, why are there few to no celebrities or modern concerts coming to NC, or why are there no sales going on outside car dealerships with microphones and sales with balloons and outdoor car shows? Also, why are the lights on North Carolina’s highways at night into the still dark AM early morning not turned on bright like they are in other states? Why are there no cranes building brand new modern buildings, or why are there no kids having fun and why are the roads so empty in North Carolina, and why is there no like live fun kids festivals with cheering and parades? Why are roads not like Dayton’s in NC? Also, don’t things come to North Carolina anymore like Game Show-esque things, or why can’t local news stations in North Carolina stay out of the politics, and why can’t there be any news like Coca Cola or NASCAR anymore or Thanksgiving and report live from places like The Fresh Market anymore?
