    Hickory recently just got recognized by Bloomberg as well. I’m originally from Morganton so I grew up going to Hickory a great deal. I live in Greenville SC now and it’s a nice place too. Aiken is good also. Thank you for watching!

    Oh I miss the Hickory area so much! I lived in Taylorsville for a number of years, and worked in Hickory at the community college. I'm in Concord now, but that area will always feel like home to me!

    Welcome to my town! If you ever want to come back and tour with a local, hit me up! I'm on the downtown development board and I grew up nearby, I know all the secret hole in the wall spots to try. I can also fill you in on the story of "the Miracle of Hickory," as well as the artist behind the mural (we went to school together)

    15:49 It will be a shame if Hickory doesn't start being proactive to keep the old town city from looking like what's it's starting to. A bunch of tall, overpriced apartments
