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 .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.

TRICK!

This town is the biggest hellhole of a town in Western North Carolina. The Dollar Theatre is the only good place (even though they play old ass movies) because they always have nachos unlike the Carmike. It's sad when people find entertainment in going to Wal-Mart, Hickory

A relatively small town in Western North Carolina. Home to Dale Jarrett, multiple textile and furniture factories. Home of Hickory High School. Populated by snobby, middle to upper class southerners and white trash and no one in between. Oh yeah, there is a large African-American population and Hispanic population (someone has to work in the white man's factories.) Majority of the citizens have lived in or near the city their entire lives. They attempt to keep a small town feel while exploiting the city by developing many different businesses that have an adverse effect on the town's small feeling.

Also, many of the city's residents are ignorant, racist, bigoted, and hateful.

The high schools are populated mostly with [prepnecks]. In other words, preppy rich kids who attempt to play themselves off as rednecks.

Not to mention, the city sucks ass and there is nothing to do. You should never live there.
