<\/p>\nWhat’s the name of the city between Greensboro and Winston Salem that no one cares about?<\/p>\n
Give up?
\nThe correct answer is High Point, NC. If you didn’t know that, then perhaps you should check out Part 1 of my quasi-regular column entitled “Know Your NC Cities”. This week, we’ll see how High Point can change from a city I don’t care about to a city I hate.<\/p>\n
Let’s get our learn on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are some quick fun facts about High Point, NC:<\/p>\n
High Point has a population of 92,000 people. Not too shabby. Even more impressive, the population spikes to 205,000 when Whitesnake performs at the nearby Greensboro Coliseum.<\/p>\n
High Point sits at an elevation of 926 meters above sea level. Interestingly enough, that’s exactly how high you can stack shit.<\/p>\n
High Point is the only city in NC that is spread among 4 counties; Davidson, Guilford, Forsyth, and Randolph. The city’s boundaries were drawn this way because the city’s high welfare burden was too much to place on 3 counties.<\/p>\n
High Point leads the nation in moustaches per square foot.<\/p>\n
The average temperature during a High Point summer is 82 degrees, which attributes to High Point’s ranking as the number one purchaser of above ground swimming pools and styrofoam coolers.<\/p>\n
High Point has a booming furniture industry. Long ago the people of the region were too poor to purchase couches to sit their fat asses on, so they built them by hand.<\/p>\n
High Point is the home of High Point University. There, dozens of students spend their formative years studying subjects ranging from cigarette smoking to do-it-yourself window tinting.<\/p>\n
