[@amyfender1]

My hometown :) I grew up about 4 miles from downtown and it was a wonderful place to grow up. Now I live in Mebane right next door to Burlington but am in Burlington daily . It is a really nice town

I went to high school at Graham High School, worked at Burlington Industries as a teenager over 47 years ago. I visit my brother and sister every chance I get. I have fond memories of Burlington ( worked at K&W Restaurant too. ) the mills are gone , and the times have changed since I lived there ( Green Level ) I Love the city and the people of Burlington.

Awesome look back home. I grew up in Graham. Went to Southern Alamance in the mid to late '70s. First stop always, Zacks, I do miss seeing Zach III when I cruise in now.

[@toddventure]

Cool. I did a separate video on Zack's. 🙂

I love burlington...

[@ChristopherBrooks-sq2ul]

Born and raised there, moved to Florida when I graduated from Cummings in 92 but my family still lives there. Spent many afternoons in that library while my mom worked as a secretary at the local Catholic Church. There was a comic shop right across from it. Sad to see downtown so empty.

I've driven by on the interstate, but never been there. It looks like a nice place to stop!

Such a fun town to visit.

The May Hosiery is now an apartment building. I live there and the interior is wonderfully created. Very cool building.

[@thekettlebelle]

Love our town, unfortunately its getting out of control busy now 😢 it's kind of sad to see. You did a great tour of it! 😊

[@toddventure]

Thank you, Kettlebelle. I need to see that carousel next time. 🙂❤️

[@thekettlebelle]

@@toddventure oh yes! They did great on it 😄

[@Discovery_and_Change]

I contacted LabCorp and they sent me an automated email with Burlington, NC as the address. Greetings from California!

[@ChristopherBrooks-sq2ul]

One of my favorite memories as a kid was when they added the teller lanes at the police station to more easily pay parking tickets and some drunk drove there and tried to cash a check! Lol

[@Ben1238]

I have to say this but the food hall? Literally next door is Ocassions, an established restaurant since the mid nineties and let’s not forget Zacks hot dogs since 1928.

[@toddventure]

When I go back, I need to hit those. 🙂

Hi Todd, great channel! I saw your video on Shelby and was wondering if you had to choose between Shelby and Burlington, which town would you prefer to live?

[@toddventure]

Shelby, for its charm and music scene but Burlington for its location and convenience to larger cities.

[@denaoller]

@@toddventure Thank you! I've been looking for a place to call home here in NC and it's been challenging. Saw your video of Shelby and went there last weekend. Thank you for posting!

[@fastlane6869]

I remember when the movie theater was where Lowe's is now

[@ChristopherBrooks-sq2ul]

Was It the twin? I remember the Janus was further down the road and there was another one across from cum park plaza. And then of course there was the drive in!

[@donaldyoung2983]

Does anyone remember the dog food plant that was near the Amtrak station???

[@beyondbeleef1013]

Yep

[@fastlane6869]

I was like 4 years old and me and my grandma used to pick up my uncle from there so my grandma car had a permanent dog food smell

Hey Todd, little late to comment here......... Wife and I looking at relocating and just love your video style. Following now. One statement...... You folks are so lucky to be in a such clean and orderly place. Clean, clean, clean. We live in Portland Oregon and this once beautiful city is a dumpster fire shithole. Drug addicts, graphiti, garbage, needles everywhere. We are done. Don't worry, we are MAGA repubs. Cheers brother, keep the camera rolling!

[@toddventure]

That's very sad about Portland. I last visited there around 1980.
