High Point is where a lot of the furniture used to be made.
When I lived in NC, everyone kept telling me to drive out there when I was looking for a dining room table.
We took a drove there one Friday and most of the large furniture places were shut down. We went in to one to look around and nearly everything was made in China.
It will probably be a good place for Trump's message.

High Point was the home of the Perley Thomas Furniture Company. In addition to furniture, back in the early Twenties it made the bodies for the trolley cars that ran in New Orleans -- and that sill run today. General Electric equipment was installed in the bodies before they were sent by rail to New Orleans.
Today that company is Thomas, manufacturer of school buses.

That’s really sad. High Point, NC was always the Furniture Capital of the World for generations, I think...
