Been more lately since I went on a diet and lost some weight and nothing fits but before I buy replacements, time to clean out the closets and make room. My eldest son is a big fan of Goodwill, and I think half of his wardrobe came from Goodwill. It's a clean store, well organized and from what I can see, the quality of the merchandise is very good. Considering where we live, we live next to some high-income areas and that is reflected in the goods being offered. Looking to stretch your budget, this might be a good place to start.

I didn't need anything but decided I should ease my curiosity by stopping in for a look. The parking lot was full and the patrons in the store were buzzing around with carts full. This is a clear indication that this store was much needed in the Denver area. I am ecstatic that shoppers appeared to be having a great time in the store.

The stone wall that surrounds the cemetery was erected in memory of Major John Davidson, a signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, May 20th, 1775, and his wife Violet Wilson Davidson and their descendants. Erected by Edward Lee Baxter Davidson. Homestead built 1788 and burned 1886. All of the graves have dates from many years ago. The tall obelisk denotes the final resting place of Robert Davidson, 1769-1853. Next to it, John Davidson, 1735-1832 and Violet Wilson who signed the Resolutions to Committee of Safety in 1776. There is limited parking by the side of the road, but unless there is significant activity at Rural Hill, you'll be fine. [Review 13395 overall, 714 of 2020.]

While The Tilted Map does have its own small parking lot with lines painted for two rows of vehicles, it felt a little too tight for my comfort, so I ended up parking on the street. It seemed safer. The cafe is located in a beautifully restored former church, with stunning cathedral ceilings and Gothic-style windows. The space has been thoughtfully updated with lush plants, cozy seating areas, board games, and an array of unique wall clocks, along with a nice outdoor seating area that gives it a community feel. The cafe originally opened after Hurricane Helene in September of 2024, by the Mountain Aid Project, so volunteer groups could organize supplies and distribute them quickly. It never got disbanded and stayed a non-profit. They bought the church, made a community space and the cafe opened after. The name Tilted Map came from the Earth tilting at 23.44 degrees, which provides for seasons, migration, shadow, rest and growth. But resilience is what came after Hurricane Helene, as they had to shift or tilt after the crisis and neighbors needed to help each other. The cafe sells coffee, tea and scratch-made pastries. I was too focused on the pastries to realize they sold art too. The money from what they sell goes to tiny home construction, household essentials, and storm recovery for those in the area. The scratch-made pastries are baked in the commercial kitchen in the basement. Volunteers run the cafe. I ordered a sticky bun, a pumpkin cookie and a blueberry lemon cookie, and yes, they are as delicious as they look- sweet but not too sweet. Each cookie was packaged separately, and the sticky bun was made to order, with putting it in the container and adding the icing on top. They also had some gluten-free items for sale. There wasn't much left to choose from a little after 10am on a Saturday, so you might want to go earlier if you are looking for something in particular. The cafe has limited hours, so be sure to verify their schedule before you head out. Definitely check out this special spot if you are anywhere around Morganton!

The Tilted Map was exactly the kind of place I hope to stumble across on a road trip…read more I was passing through Morganton and wanted a good cup of coffee and something light before continuing my drive. What I found was one of the cutest cafés I've visited in a long time. The café is housed inside a beautifully restored former church, complete with soaring wood ceilings, Gothic-style windows, cozy seating areas, bookshelves, plants, and plenty of character. Every corner feels warm and welcoming. I ordered a drip coffee and a gluten-free lemon blueberry cookie. The cookie was soft, bright, and packed with blueberries. When I was told the cookies were buy one, get one free, I happily added a chocolate coconut cookie, which was equally delicious. The outdoor patio is lovely, and there's also a beautiful garden area to explore. Having dedicated parking was another bonus that made the stop easy and stress-free. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the coffee accompaniments. I'd love to see Sugar in the Raw and fresh cream or half-and-half instead of the small packaged creamers. The coffee itself was good enough to deserve it. That said, the atmosphere alone makes this place worth visiting. It's charming, peaceful, and filled with personality. If you're driving through Morganton or exploring the area, make time for a stop here. Life is too short to drink boring coffee and eat forgettable cookies. Get off the highway and spend a little time at The Tilted Map. You'll be glad you did.
