Hickory, NC

Hickory is a beautiful, laid back city. Old homes, mountain views, and a lot of cows. The people here are incredibly kind and just a drive through the streets is relaxing. If you're ever feeling stressed, go off the beaten path and visit this town. It's the perfect remedy.

I love the rustic look of old barns.

Mountain views

around every turn is a great view.

Pros and Cons
