On a Friday evening just before sunset I found myself walking down an unlit path and it probably…read morewasn't the ideal time to be wandering around a very quiet corner of High Point but it suited me just fine. The path turns parallel to the road and for a moment, you wonder if you've taken a wrong turn but then she appears ahead of you, big and wooden and wonderfully strange. The whole place feels like maybe it used to be a part of a warehouse or a factory before nature started reclaiming the edges. It's a little eerie and a little beautiful and the fading light actually made the visit feel more memorable. Little Sally isn't little at all and she's hand crafted from recycled and reclaimed wood with a kind of personality that makes you stop and look at how each piece fits together. The setting adds to it because it's not polished or curated, it's tucked away and slightly wild, which makes finding her feel like discovering something secret. This is my second troll after Big Pete With the Big Feet in Charlotte and seeing Sally felt like continuing a small personal quest to track down these creations. I liked the quiet, the oddness of the location, and I liked that she's just sitting here waiting for whoever decides to wander down that path.

What a cool art installation in such an unassuming part of High Point, near downtown. "Little…read moreSally" is the name of the giant wooden troll sculpture in High Point. It's one of many trolls around the world made out of recycled materials by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. High Point is lucky to have one of these, and it's fun and free to check out. My wife and I took my nieces to see Little Sally. A small line of families with children had built up to see and take pictures with the troll. The troll is hidden from street view, inside a small wooded area, so there's a fun "discovery" aspect to it. We parked in the large unpaved lot at the corner of W Green Dr and W Grimes Ave. Other folks parked closer, across the street in the parking lot of 711 W Grimes Ave. At the time of writing this, the building there appears to be vacant, as does the building in the same block as Little Sally. I'm pretty sure this part of town has seen better days. This project is what you call low-cost urban revitalization. Go to trollmap.com to see a map of all the trolls. There are several in North Carolina, mostly in Raleigh (Dix Park has five). Little Sally was unveiled in 2025. Dambo's first troll was "Hector the Protector," installed in Puerto Rico in 2014.

The John Coltrane Statue is located in Downtown High Point, NC at the intersection of S. Hamilton…read moreSt. and Commerce Ave (John Coltrane Way) Parking is available nearby at City Hall. I didn't see that with the construction and detours, so I parked in a tow-away zone right in front of the eight-foot monument. No, I didn't get a ticket, but I didn't stay as long as I would have liked either. The statue is 8 feet high, made of bronze and created by Thomas Jay Warren. The statute depicts Coltrane with his tenor saxophone. It was dedicated on September 20th, 2006, on what would have been Coltrane's 80th birthday. I liked that there was a storyboard about John Coltrane and his career to read, and that there was a nearby historical marker. "My music is the spiritual expression of what I am ~ my faith, my knowledge, my being." Coltrane was born in Hamlet, NC, but moved to High Point as an infant and grew up living with his extended family. Coltrane grew up with music; his father played the ukulele, and his mother was a trained singer and pianist. Coltrane first started playing the clarinet and alto horn. Then, at William Penn High School, he joined the band and started playing the saxophone. Coltrane found solace in music after the deaths of his father, grandfather and uncle. Coltrane moved to Philadelphia and joined the Navy. He collaborated with other legends like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. He overcame his addiction to drugs and alcohol. His "spiritual awakening" led him to more spiritual music. Coltrane's career was cut short as his untimely death from liver cancer took him at age 40. But he left a lasting legacy with albums such as Blue Train, Giant Steps and A Love Supreme. .
