    I live here so I'm a little biased. Davidson is for lack of a better word incredibly "quaint" . Home of Davidson college, Steffan Curry's Alma Matta, this is a very active town. There are people bicycling, running, even paddle boarding on Lake Norman and Lake Davidson. Main Street is littered with wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to live.

    The town of Davidson is so sweet and picturesque. It's a dreamy little college down with a nice downtown. There's some great coffee places (like Summit Coffee), restaurants and shopping including some stores with great local artist representation. Lots of stores seem to close around 6pm and thats probably my only complaint.

    Cambodian Cultural Center - New year blessings

    Tucked away in a remote corner just south of Lexington, North Carolina is a small buddhist haven…read morethat you'd probably never find unless you had a specific reason to go there. I didn't know about it, and didn't have a specific reason to seek it, until this past Sunday when I saw some posts from a couple of Yelpers about a celebration happening there for the Thai, Lao, and Cambodian New Year, also referred to as the Khmer New Year. It was a beautiful spring day, the mood looked festive, and there appeared to be some interesting tasty food available, so I said why not?! I hopped in the car and drove down to Lexington. Turns out this place wasn't to hard to find. Once you make the left turn the large entryway proclaiming "Lexington Buddhist Temple" cannot be missed, dragon guardians and all. I was greeted by a lush green campus, spotted by various colorful buildings all painted with vibrant colors. People were everywhere laughing, dancing, eating, drinking, and just generally having a happy time. Many were casual but others were dressed in some very fancy clothing befitting of a new year's celebration! The band was playing and setting a great mood, and many people lined up in front of the stage for what appeared to be some pretty well coordinated line dancing. Elsewhere on the grounds, you could find kids participating in various field games like tug of war and sack races. Some were playing basketball on a pretty worn down court in the back, and there was a playground too. Then, you meet the huge line of pop up tents selling all sorts of foods and drinks. The sights and smells draw you right to it. I got some papaya salad (spicy), some Lao sausage, and some beef skewers and found a seat near the dancing area to enjoy. Everything was so succulent. Papaya salad is one of my favorite things and this one certainly had a fresh kick! The Lao sausage had a plethora of spices and really set off the flavors of the papaya salad. The beef skewer was tender and just the slightest bit sweet, it was all enjoyable. I ate my food and just enjoyed taking in all the positive energy of this place. On my way out, i came upon a pair of buddhist monks blessing people and giving them bracelets. I had a lovely time on their grounds, I decided to leave a donation and get a blessing of my own. I bowed my head and they chanted in a language that I myself could not understand as they used a flower to sprinkle water over me. They then said in English "Happy New Year!" and I was on my way, bracelet on wrist, belly full of happy, and feeling very fulfilled. It was a great way to spend a Sunday, taking in the sights and vibrance of a culture that was before only somewhat familiar to me. I hope to go next year with some friends who know more than can help bring me up to speed on exactly what is going on!

    I've been going to the Cambodian Cultural Center since I was very young. They have improved so much…read moresince the Cambodian Community of Lexington purchased this location. They have a reception hall for weddings, church service and dancing when Cambodian bands come to town. Monks live in the house located across from the ponds. I usually come to the cultural center during Cambodian New Year. Cambodian New Year is held in April. Unfortunately, it usually rains and the area gets filthy muddy. Vendors from the community come and sell delicious food. Live music is being played all day along with dancing, and games are usually being played. On Sunday's of the New Year church service is held in the reception hall. Donations are appreciated, which goes towards the center. There is no real parking lot. Mostly just field and you just park yourself in rows. The bathrooms are out of date but are usable. Basketball courts and playgrounds for children are available as well as a Volleyball net. The Cambodian Cultural Center still needs some improvement but time will tell when it'll get done. It's a nice place to enjoy during special events.
