Travel North Carolina-A Stroll In Downtown Hickory NC

-

It was a nice cold day just before Christmas.  Rocky and I were on our way to Asheville, NC, and needed a halfway stop for lunch.  A friend said that Hickory was a nice town so we decided to make that our stop along the way.  

Before our stroll, we had a delicious lunch at Olde Hickory Station.  There, we enjoyed a delicious Goat Cheese and Pepper Jelly Burger.  It was amazing.

Below are a few photos from our stroll...Downtown Hickory
It is a lovely stroll with shops and restaurants.

We found a lovely mural...

They had seasonal decorations for the holiday season...



Cannon on Union Square
210mm German Howitzer / Surrendered to U.S. 1918 / Placed here in memory the men from this community who participated in the world war.




We really wanted to stop and play checkers, but this was just a pit stop, and we had miles to go on our journey.  We may have to make a trip just to explore Hickory.  
It seems to be a very nice city.

So if you find yourself traveling in or near Hickory, I suggest you stop by and enjoy the downtown and grab a bite to eat at Olde Hickory Station; you won't be disappointed.

Happy Travels!

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website. "Family owned and operated, Linville Falls Winery is the culmination of a life-long passion for wine by owner, Jack Wiseman. Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina.
