Go inside the remodeled train depot

[@TimothyFrench]

Next time I’m up that way I will definitely go in a film it.

Those buildings that you see “close” are Showrooms. City of High Point is the furniture capital of the world! So I would suggest if you come back in April or October you might think you are in lil’ New York. The High Point Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina attracts between 70,000 and 80,000 people twice a year, in April and October. The event is considered the world's largest furniture trade show and home furnishings market, and visitors come from more than 100 countries. The market also includes over 40,000 retailers and designers, 2,000 exhibitors, and interior designers and home decor

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for the information. I’ll definitely have to come back and film at that time.

[@aimee-lynndonovan6077]

Stores are closed til Furniture Market in spring, I think, but definitely in October open. I was down there in October. Ask someone.

[@CountryVlogs-oz8ue]

Showrooms are not open for public FYI

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks.👍

Railroad? 1840. Wow.

[@telliesmith9825]

High Point is like this except for two weeks out of the year when they have the international furniture market that's when the downtown looks like a little New York with people all up and down the streets there trying to change it with the new baseball stadium all them buildings are show rooms for the furniture market that's why it looks like a ghost town where the stadium is there making it into a entertainment and wrk district year round and residential area so the downtown can be a normal year around live ,play, and wrk

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for the information. Sounds like they are on the right track with the entertainment district. You have a great stadium there.

@@TimothyFrench, during furniture market, all hotels and homes are rented out to the folks who come in to buy furniture. Some friends I know make enough money in two weeks by renting out their home to pay their house payment for the year. They go on vacation for those two weeks. Come back during furniture market and see what this town is really like. And going on behind the scenes is furniture being made. I grew up here and my dad made a good amount of money selling office furniture. You just didn't do this town much credit with this report. There is far more to it. And High Point College is incredible. You missed a lot of good spots and the whole story of HP.

@@TimothyFrench There is a lot of multimillionaires in the pretty neighborhoods you are missing. They all know when to be downtown.

Empty stores? Every town on the East coast is overcrowded. Whst are we going to do about this? NY city . People are starting to sleep on sidewalk.

[@TimothyFrench]

It’s sad.

[@janetwright2899]

How about The Boat...nice

[@dawson0610]

What dump...place is a ghost town.

[@faithbridges934]

He’s in the furniture district. Most of these places are closed year round except for twice of year when the Furniture Market comes to town. We have thousands of people come from all over the world to buy and sell furniture. But in general, this area is usually dry. The rest of the city has a lot more action.

[@dawson0610]
