So I don't start my co-op in Raleigh until next Monday, so I'm spending this week chillaxin at the parents' house in "the furniture capitol of the world/universe"

i was bored on this evening, so i went into town (we live about 5 miles outside of high point), to try to find a good bar to post up at. now, i haven't really explored the whole bar scene in high point, as most of the time i only go home for a night or two. i knew it didn't offer a strapping 22 year old lad such as myself much fun and merriment (save for christie's cabaret), but DAMN. i mean FUCK! BALLS! SHIT! there is NOTHING to do up in this bitch. i ended up grabbing a double mcchee at mcd's (cookout was FUCKIN CLOSED AT 11 FUCKING 30), and heading home to pour myself a nice glass of my mothers pre-made margarita mix thing with tequila already in it. then i found my dad's stash of bud ice in the basement and made sure they weren't skunked for him.

who else has the misfortune of living in HP?

^you passed through thomasville.

the big chair is called "the big chair"

EDIT: thomasville sucks more because there are more mexicans. their cookout is open till regulation time, though.

apparently its kind of a big deal for folks north of the mason-dixon. its kinda like duke: great school, no one from NC really goes there, and its in a shithole.

yeah, its a stupid nice campus, but the city has nothing to offer it.

and by nothing to offer it, i mean no college-town feel, no "college hangouts," no places to catch a concert, no bars within walking distance. nothing. nada. not even a real mall anymore (anyone been to oak hollow lately, like two miles from HPU? nothing left). ya gotta go to Greensboro.

as much as Raleigh shits on NCSU, there's ALWAYS something to do. i love it there. guess i've just gotten spoiled.

iirc it seems like they use to always go out drinking at bars at restaurants, not much of a dedicated bar scene there, but I'm sure there are a few...good luck finding something

^definitely agree with all of that...High Point sucks

^^ yeah I guess an adversarial city is better than the complete absence of a life

^ I'm sure there is a bar you don't know about - a little one

[Edited on May 12, 2009 at 1:23 AM. Reason : wtf is a Liberty? is it like Ham's?]

oh i'm sure there are some places like dive bar in raleigh, and there's this really cool place called "the claddagh" that's run by a bona-fide irishman, but that's about it. i've driven all over this town and never seen anything worth stopping at other than that.

oh, and liberty is a steakhouse that has an on-site brewery. its actually kind of badass. but not for a drinking/bar atmosphere. the other liberty steakhouse is at broadway at the beach in myrtle beach...right there near Joe's.

My gf went to HPU for interior design. She got tons of scholarship money to go there too. She chose the school because we didn't want to go to ECU for interior design because that's were most of her graduating class went. The problem is, HPU is about as big as a high school so it's feels like high school all over again. She said the academics at HPU were fine but the school isn't ABET accredited in some fields of study. She was at HPU for two years and I visited her every two or three months. Like you said, the school is filled with snotty yankees and the town has no college life. She transferred to ECU last year and is finishing up her degree there.
