The racial makeup of the city was 32.4% White, 61.3% African American, 0.6% Native American, 1.0% Asian, and 1.6% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.7% of the population.
They have been having a lot of drive buys lately. 4 people were shot last week as they were driving down the road. Nobody saw anything.[:(]

The American furniture industry took a dump 15 years ago. Southside Virginia (Danville) and the High Point were hit with massive unemployment and that has never rebounded.

why do you say that[?]

I lived in or near High Point at various times and locations from 1949 until 1970 and I still have in-laws and out-laws living there.
High Point was a good place for decent people to live and work, mostly in the furniture and textile industries. It was the furniture capital of the world. You could walk unarmed from one end of town to the other, including Washington Street, without much worry. As long as you stayed out of West End your chances of survival were pretty good.
The only thing in High Point that reminds me of what High Point used to be is the Dog House on North Main Street, if it's still there. The town is full of dilapidated and derelict buildings. Everything is a place where such-and-so used to be. You couldn't pay me to walk down Main Street unarmed now.
Maybe High Point isn't as bad as I think it is, but looking at it makes me sad.

Yep... Hell has been coming south.
Won't be long 'till it starts goin' east from Charlotte.
That's when I'm buggin' out and goin' further south.
