Not a good place to live! - 1/31/2010
I have lived in High Point for nearly two years and found it to be the dirtiest place I have ever lived. The apartment complexes new or old in this area are out dated, the properties are not well kept and it does not seem to bother the residence of High Point. There always trash around the properties, dirty stairwells, and rotted door and window framings. I have visited some subdivisons and they were dingy as well. Some people toss garbage out their automobiles like animals.
I have found the grocery stores that are supposed to be high-end sell food that is questionable. The school system seems to be an issue for most parents I have spoken with. Some parents have to report other addresses so their kids can go to a better school.
I notice a lot of the residence lack education and have no intentions of addressing this problem. Racism is an issue here as well. I have experience on many occasions when I would hand my credit card or cash to a cashier, the cashier

The many views of High Point - 1/18/2010
I have lived in High Point for nearly 4 years now. I am familiar with this small city since I've lived in Greensboro for about 10 years. High Point only becomes "interesting" during the International Furniture Market which occurs biannually (Spring/Fall) and the city has boasted as many as 80,000 buyers/exhibitors during these times of the year. As the economy is still bumming all over the US, this market has dwindled tremendously seeing fewer vistors these past markets. Although North Carolina is fast becoming an extremely mixed population for the past several years, it is pretty neat to see all the different faces of people from all backgrounds show up in High Point. Unfortunately, this brief cultural mix dissipates after about a week and we're back to the majority white and black (HP does have a growing percentage of Hispanics and Asians). High Point's housing is not bad. There are a few areas that are costlier than others but the majority is reasonable. North High Point

2009 in High Point - 7/12/2009
High Point has suffered the pains of being primarily a two industry city; Textiles and Furniture. The textile industry has moved to India, Viet Nam and other Far East locals. The furniture business has moved to China, a furniture company executive has told me it is less expensive for him to purchase his wood in the US ship it to China, make the case goods in China and return it to the US to do the finishing work. Unemployment is a approaching 10% and jobs are in short supply, housing is a buyers market. The prices have not dropped as drastically as other areas in the country because they did not experience the run up of the early

Temperate, with moderate seasonal changes. Temperature in Fall and Spring is pleasant with mild humidity. Summers (July and August primarily) tend to be miserable due to higher temperature (90s) and humidity. Winters have been mild recently, with very little snow. Ice storms are the bigger problem here, and occasional power outages in select areas do crop
