Hickory is a small to medium sized town that is literally an hour away from anywhere cool. An hour from Boone, Charlotte, Winston Salem, and Asheville. It is home to textile and furniture plants, or should I say WAS home to them, they decided to screw half the town and move their business to China or wherever the fuck people will work for pennies a day. Hickory is home to one of the largest unemployment rates in the state. There are also two colleges in Hickory. CVCC (Catawba Valley Community College) is where the locals go after they get laid off from their shitty factory job, or where people go if they dont have the money for a real college. Then there is Lenoir Rhyne College where rich Lutheran snobs ship their trustafarians to get educated. Usually these kids dont leave the 3 block radius that is LR, but they think they own the fucking town. There is also a movie theatre that is a $1.50 but most of the time they play movies that are going to be on video the following tuesday. The Carmike is over priced, and the Crown Cinema is disgustingly filthy. The only good thing about Hickory is that one day, God willing, the entire town will fall into a giant sink hole. Preferably starting with the giant wal-mart where everyone thinks it is the coolest thing ever to cruise the parking lot and block traffic for hours. Hickory is the kind of place that makes you realize why North Carolina is a red state.
