Thomasville, NC | Also known as 'Chair Town' and a major hub for furniture manufacturing in the U.S.

Thomasville
Named after John Warwick Thomas who, by age 30, became a state representative and in 1848 he became a state senator.
The city was once notable for its furniture industry, as were its neighbors High Point and Lexington.
Thomasville is commonly referred to as the "Chair Town" or "Chair City", in reference to a 30-foot (9.1 m) landmark replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair that rests in the middle of the city. The original "Big Chair" was constructed in 1922 by the Thomasville Chair Company (now Thomasville Furniture Industries) out of lumber and Swiss steer hide to reflect the city's prominent furniture industry.

Downtown Burlington has AMAZING Architecture. Or it did when My cousin Steven (he lived there) showed me a comic shop downtown around 1990

11:02 ummm...i've visited family since i moved away in 1992, and i do not ever recall seeing "Roses" there. I think that's not about the store named roses, but about flowers sold? There was a flower shop downtown. I don't recall seeing that. We went to Belks all the time near the chair, and while mom shopped, i'd hit the arcade, or the newstand.
