So far I've noticed 2 major things:

1) Anti-Pedestrian... The area I live in is all but devoid of sidewalks. Makes it difficult to run without endangering myself
2) City Water... It's pretty much undrinkable out of the tap, and I hardly ever complain... I hate keeping britta's filled and hate the ones that attach to the faucet even more...

Just wait until Furniture Market. Two weeks out of the year that you will never want to leave the house. The next one is in April. GOOD LUCK

best thing to do is rent your place and take a vacation

^ yep.

Although there are some hot women at HPU

1/31/2009 10:21:42 AM

real estate should be cheap though. might be able to get a basement.

i used to live in winstoned salem

1/31/2009 10:21:43 AM

I was looking at a townhouse in High Point last month. And yes, they are definitely cheaper than in Greensboro. But I just think it is a pain in the ass getting around High Point, even when the Market isn't in town. There are only like 2 roads that take you through the city

1/31/2009 10:25:40 AM

i live just outside of high point in davidson county (wallburg).

high point SUCKS. every time i go home i we try and go out like we do in raleigh (bars, late night eats, and such), and there is NOTHING.

the only bar that people go to is Liberty (?) which is full of dick pickles and pusscakes from my high school. high point is the suck.

BUT, there are some fine bitches at HPU.

1/31/2009 10:28:08 AM

Yeah, Liberty is all old broads. Not many options in High Point besides Tiki Cabaret, and you can't exactly take your girl there. Well, maybe you can, if you're lucky.

My buddy Steve lives in Wallburg, or Welcome, or Midway, or one of those. They're all the same to me

FUCK LIBERTY
FUCK HIGH POINT
FUCK HAVING TO WASTE 18 YEARS OF MY LIFE THERE

1/31/2009 10:31:04 AM

well fortunately I all but live in Greensboro...

I ventured into highpoint to find the other walmart and discovered, as mentioned, 2 roads, the walmart is all OLD people, and the mall has this depressing dying feel to it...

where2find this HPU tail?

I'm off to hopefully not get run over while running

1/31/2009 10:31:23 AM

I assume all the hot HPU tail parties in Greensboro. So hit the popular downtown Greensboro clubs and bars

1/31/2009 10:32:46 AM

^YES. However, Gboro clubs are hella-expensive (we're talking $20 cover), but there are some pretty effing sweet bars downton.

Triange>>>>>>>Triad

1/31/2009 10:51:28 AM

If I were into clubs I would enjoy downtown Greensboro. But I am more of a sit at the bar and chill guy, and downtown Greensboro is lacking in that department, with the exception of Natty's, Green Burro, Stumblestilskins, and Pour House. And typically, all 3 of those are sausage fests.

I stick to bars on the outskirts of Downtown. Speakeasy Tavern, Tap Room, Underground. All in the same strip so you can just walk back and forth

I love Furniture Market time!!!! (I'm from the area btw...REPRUZENT)

but yea you can fuck with the foreigners

1/31/2009 11:01:40 AM

I would imagine that chicks would love it. I went to several Furniture Market parties back in October with clients, and there are a ton of hot Italian dudes walking around. All of my female coworkers were all moist

1/31/2009 11:02:50 AM

well it's about the only time it's fun to "go out" in high point

lots of free drinks to be had by all (females)

1/31/2009 11:05:30 AM

Speaking of which... I need a couch... this is kinda convenient, I think I'll go furniture shopping

1/31/2009 1:15:43 PM

I hope you are looking for a $5000 couch, because that is pretty much all you will find in the High Point Furniture stores

[Edited on January 31, 2009 at 1:16 PM. Reason : a]

spent 18 years there as well....had to go back for a month and a half and live there after my knee surgery it was MISERABLE

1/31/2009 1:31:18 PM

And cruising main st is the BEST! You fools don't know nothin.

I wish Mayberry's stayed open late.

Whatever... my aunt got a 4-poster walnut king size bed for a blowjob. You just have to wait til after the market, and be prepared to suck cock.

Jk. There are actually some good deals on floor pieces, but with the economy as it is, they may not be as willing to sell.

my dad grew up there and my grandmother has lived in the same house near hpu for about 50 years now.

i was born there but grew up in greensboro.

high point is kind of a sad, dying town.

1/31/2009 2:40:24 PM

HPU and Elon have the hottest females of any college/university in North Carolina

^ so your Grandmother lives in the ghetto? HPU is in a bad part of town, bro

[Edited on January 31, 2009 at 2:41 PM. Reason : a]

1/31/2009 2:40:33 PM

yes. she is fairly poor. though her neighborhood has actually gotten slightly better in the past ten years.

and her neighbors look out for her.

[Edited on January 31, 2009 at 2:42 PM. Reason : .]

1/31/2009 2:42:00 PM

I was looking at a few foreclosures over there off of Montlieu. The houses are AWESOME over there in the historic district, but the neighborhood is terrible. I wish I could pick up one of those houses and move it to Greensboro

1/31/2009 2:43:22 PM

i like it over there. but there has been crime. but as i said, i think the neighborhood is actually improving. some residents seem to care a little more than in the past.

it used to be worse is all i'm saying i guess.

my brother has a friend that lives in a house back there as well. they're pretty big hippy types though. they run a motorcycle magazine and drink and are tattoo artists. big guys. i don't think anyone would fuck with them.

1/31/2009 2:45:55 PM

The problem over there now is that they just built a new homeless shelter. that has put the property values in the shitter

1/31/2009 2:57:25 PM

Ok next, I need suggestions for places to take a girl for dessert and drinks in greensboro and/or winston salem...

Thanks!

my water in greensboro tastes horrible as well. i don't even turn my ice maker on because once the ice gets in the drink, it freaking ruins it. i mean, i feel like beach water tastes better than my water. and i don't know if something is wrong or if everyone's water in the triad is just g-ross.

2/2/2009 12:56:44 AM

I grew up on Greensboro water ( ) & always thought it fine... northern part of town near the Day School.

2/2/2009 12:58:08 AM

hmmmm. maybe it is just me haha. or maybe i was used to drinking well water for most of my life and now it is city water???? no idea. it just tastes yicky.

2/2/2009 1:02:35 AM

A-Dub is from there. As well as Terrence from 106.

does your fridge not have a filter in it?

i thought that all fridges made in the last 10-15 years had filters in there... I just know it was kind of a pain in the ass to change ours back home (it was my job to do it because my mom didn't know how)

2/2/2009 9:37:13 AM

Oh wow! Oak Hollow was full of fail when it opened.

2/2/2009 9:40:08 AM

i think Freddy Aughtry-Lindsay was also from high point.

fantasia and her bastard child are from high point

was in 2nd grade with her

im pretty sure thats when her development stopped interestingly enough

I went to HPU for a semester, just as a lay over between my first school and NCSU. It wasn't a bad experience, it's actually a pretty decent school if you can get past the religious bent. I have to say that the on campus parties there were much better than nearly all of those I experienced at NCSU (with the 1 exception being Brent Road, which isn't really on campus anyway). I would put the quality of the core level classes on par with NCSU but not so much the upper level classes, just because they don't have the resources that a larger school has. Yes there were many attractive women there as well but again you could easily find more at UNC or WFU (or arguably even NCSU).

Other than that, the city sucks as does most of the Triad.
