inspired by Mt Olive’s old flame from Gastonia. Open to other options - i’m sure there are many.
I will not entertain GSO slander here sir.Of the options I voted Myers Park but it’s gotta be GSO
(In fairness i haven’t been in years - it’s not exactly a destination. Your positive review duly noted. It’s funny how some small NC towns have created a mini renaissance and other just continue to circle the drain)Easy on the Spindale. Lots going on there for a small town. WNCW, Barley's Taproom...And, I grew up in Forest City. Lots to like about Rutherford.
I’ve literally never heard of any of these people but I’ll take your word for it. All Nickelback in my worldWell, it actually is a destination. Many big name musical acts make their way to WNCW. I could make you a big ol' list. But here's a few:
Infamous Stringdusters
Steep Canyon Rangers
Tony Joe White
Larry McMurtry
The Bottle Rockets
Doyle Lawson
Tim O'Brien
So many more....
It’s an interesting drive having to cruise thru there from the Triangle to MyrtleAs someone who grew up in Lumberton, it's definitely Chadbourn
I honestly don't know how to react to this; but we good...so: 😄I’ve literally never heard of any of these people but I’ll take your word for it. All Nickelback in my world
you’re brave to stop. What always strikes me is that you could tell at some point 100 years ago it was a thriving little town and now it is burned out and just beyond depressingIt's the last good pee stop on the way down there.
My mom had grown up in Lumberton too (50s-60s) and her parents still lived there when we did (80s). It wasn't terrible then, but it wasn't great either. I started commuting to a private school in Fayetteville in 5th grade. The last time I rode through there coming home from the beach, it was almost exactly the same except for a new Waffle House out by the interstate.
