High Point, NC

united states

High Point anchors North Carolina's furniture industry in the Piedmont Triad, halfway between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. I-85 runs right through town, connecting to Charlotte and the Research Triangle, while I-74 heads east-west. The city's claim to fame is a giant 30-foot chest of drawers with socks hanging out, marking it as the "Home Furnishings Capital of the World."
