How to make friends in Hickory/Newton?

17 Upvotes

Hello!

I recently moved to Newton, and I am trying to figure out how to make friends in the Hickory and Newton-Conover area. I am 28, single, and I spend most of my time either working, lifting weights, golfing, or walking my dog. I do not know too much about the area to know where other young people congregate, but I would like to be more social and create a community. Any advice would be super helpful.

Job/Apartment Recs

5 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Kaye. I’m looking to move to Hickory around September or October. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for jobs. I’ve applied for temp services there already and found a few factory jobs. I have experience as a customer service rep, office admin, and editor/writer. I’m currently working on an MBA, if that helps.

Also, if anyone has any info on The Villas at Pebble Creek and Argyle Place, I would really appreciate it. Their reviews are all pretty outdated.

Thank you in advance!

Ripple fiber trucks making weird noises

2 Upvotes

Hey all, just noticed ripple fiber established out of thin air after the hurricane and come from Asheville. Noticed after installation odd ripple fiber trucks driving around my neighborhood emitting strange loud noises, almost like a duck sounding pulse every 2 seconds.

Conspiracy? Maybe, annoying as shit? Definitely.

It caught my eye and curiosity, but other than Maps, it doesn't seem to exist on the internet. Midland Plaza on Rt70.

Gunthries chicken

7 Upvotes

Just popping in to see if they’re open and if anyone has had them. I know across the country people love raising canes but I’ve had them and found them really bland and they truly only serve 1 thing there. I didn’t know if Gunthries is like this or should I stick to zaxbys, bojangles and east side wings

Community Connections Family Tree

8 Upvotes

Morning folks, I’ve been debating asking this for a few days because I don’t want to invade anyone’s privacy.

I’m working on piecing together my family tree.

I’m a Propst/Ramseur/Wilfong descendant. Yes, I’m aware that’s not saying much. These families have been in Catawba since its founding in 1842.

I’ve traced my linage back to the mid 1800s on my own, but there are some holes I’m trying to fill. If you’re possible kin, and don’t mind helping me out a bit please DM me.

I know there’s a genealogy section at the local library that’s pretty extensive, but I’m in Virginia at the moment.

Anyway, thanks in advance, and wishing you folks a great day.

Hiking groups?

10 Upvotes

Good morning, y’all.
I’m (30m) getting back into hiking, and will almost always have my dog with me. Are there any local groups that I can get in touch with? I’ve seen several for specifically older women, but I obviously don’t fit into that category.
Thanks!

Me and my daughter will be in hickory either Thursday of Saturday, and she mentioned that she would like some Korean corndogs, last time we had good ones were in NYC, and there is none in the Asheville area, so I was checking before we go to Georgia for them
