Albemarle, home of the Badin Drive-In and Blue Bay Seafood Restaurant. Nearby Morrow Mountain is a treat, too. My father-in-law grew up in Norwood. Mother in Law lives in Red Cross, so I know Stanly County well. My inlaws met in the 70s at Whispering Pines Barbecue which is still open. I'm from Georgia, but we visit the area several times a year.
@@drivingaroundnc3490 Yeah, I know it decently for someone living out of state. I have seen the Fourth of July Parades in both Oakboro and Norwood. I've camped at Morrow Mountain State Park. I was up there for Christmas, too. There was a cool house in north Albemarle that had a video light display with talking light bulbs.
@ Maybe. I've done the Oakboro parade 3 times, Norwood only once. Stanly County is a nice place. I enjoy driving the backroads from Oakboro to Aquadale to Norwood. The stretch of roads from Albemarle to the west, north of 24/27 also has a bucolic feel. Very peaceful. That said, last time I went through the county, it does seem like a population influx is happening throughout south Cabarrus county into Locust in Stanly County. More traffic, extra housing and development. I don't want to see the character of the county change.
@@willp.8120 It is growing extremely fast. I drove through Oakboro & Red Cross yesterday and will try to get that video up later toad. I took that way because you commented about it so I drove through. Thanks for watching
Have a nice day, Take care
Hey thanks you also. Thanks for watching
