Small town charm abundant! It's not fancy and may not have all the bells- but this small southern town is a perfect escape from city life. There are playgrounds and walking trails at the parks. You can find fresh eggs and milk from local farms and residents. And make sure to check out the bartering/trade tables on the main road- especially during the summer mornings they are full of bustle and goods. Everything from yard sale pop ups, to produce stands- even art displays. You never know what your going to find! There are so many great places to eat if you know where to look- and just enough places to shop. Between the grocery stores, thrift stores, and a couple boutique shops- you can find more then just the basics here. It's such a short drive the Asheboro- which has even more food and shops. The drives surrounding the town are beautiful. A few rolling hills, ponds, and so many gorgeous trees. It's quiet here- peaceful, and quaint. Home of Richard petty- there is many local statues and monuments. Surrounded by some cute parks that are great to have lunch in. They always decorate for the holidays- And for those nerds out here like me- there is plenty of poke stops and gyms for a small town here! It's a great place to live, and just a half hour drive to any big city. A great companion town to Asheboro- which is a little busier and fuller. read more
