This quiet little town, in the northeastern Piedmont region of North Carolina, is re-awakening. Just an hour north of Raleigh and 70 minutes south of Petersburg VA, a variety of new restaurants, antique shops, and specialty stores can be found lining the brick sidewalks along picturesque Main Street.

An old courthouse is the center of town physically and socially. On any day of the week, you may find a latté in a quaint café, gourmet food in a specialty shop, an antique treasure, or a bake-sale in the town-square.
