The Best Hike in North Carolina | Eight Oaks Trail

2011-08-27T23:03:00.001-04:00

If you love hiking, (and who doesn't?) You'll love Liberty! Remember the movie 'Back to The Future', where old man Peabody was so infatuated with pine trees that they named the mall after the twin pines on his farm? Of course by the end of the film, the mall was named Lone Pine Mall to reflect its altered past. Liberty has its own fascination with trees. From the town seal, to Eight Oaks Trail,

West Liberty High-School | The Saddest Place in Liberty.

2011-08-18T17:17:00.002-04:00

The flowers of gold have grown from the tears shed here. For me, the saddest part of Liberty, in my opinion, is the West Liberty High-School known colloquially as "The Old School", in what was once, and often commonly today is still called West Liberty. The school, closed in 1966 and was the newest of the Randolph County's schools at the time. Racial integration occurred, but due to

Is Liberty, Main Street for Hollywood?

According to IMDB, Liberty now has four movies to its fame, as filming locations. The most popular still being Dick Clark's 'Killer Three', and the 1992 Stephen King sequel, 'Children of The Corn II: The Final Sacrifice.' Of course back then in the olden days, a more traditional rift divided town opinion: Children of the Corn IIShot in an incredible 23 days in the corn fields of Liberty, NC;

A Tale of Two Parks.

2011-08-13T21:40:00.002-04:00

Liberty is lucky enough to have two main parks available for residents, and a third many don't know about. In fact we'd love to see more city property be converted into usable recreation space for citizens such as the lower Reitzel water pumping station at the end of Fairview street. What a great place for a soccer field or baseball field. Communal spaces, and great places to meet your neighbors

Should the Daniel Boone Marker be restored?

2011-08-12T15:14:00.001-04:00

Daniel Boon Marker in Staley, NC If you didn't know, Liberty once home to Daniel Boone marker number thirty-two. It got destroyed in the famous 1959 car wreck, and was never replaced. It could be duplicated, and restored if the town chose to restore its historical marker to downtown. I can't think of any better way to embrace the past, than restore it in the future personally. Dedicated

Kidd's Drive-in - "Comfort on a bun!"

2011-05-21T16:21:00.002-04:00

There is always that one restaurant. The one place in every town that makes food like no where else. They don't advertise, and there's nothing fancy about it. It has great service, a kitschy decor, and unparalleled flavorful food. It's that one place people drive from miles around to come to because of its reputation. Here in Liberty, North Carolina that landmark is called Kidd's, known

Lake Juno Water Park and Campgrounds

2011-05-18T17:53:00.006-04:00

Lake Juno Park sign. Family owned and operated Lake Juno has been apart of summers in Liberty for as long as I can remember. There's no long lines, free parking, and admission rates are very affordable ($5 kids, $10 adults) when all you want to do is get wet and wild on those hot summer days. With acres of water slides, paddle boats, and thrilling family fun in the blue waves, Lake Juno seems

Hurricane Jane's Chili Cheeseburger Is The Perfect Storm

2011-05-17T16:48:00.005-04:00

The southern diet consists mainly of country ham biscuits, BBQ sandwiches, and perhaps the most distinguished comfort food: the chili cheese burger. Everyone has their own take on it, but here in Liberty there appears to be two distinct incarnations of the classic chili cheese burger. The old-fashioned traditional cheese burger at Kidd's drive-in, and the other, a wild, Velveeta topped anything

The Liberty Antiques Festival

2011-04-10T12:24:00.003-04:00

Another thing to ♥ about living in the Piedmont Triad is the Liberty Antique Festival, a bi-annual celebration of buying and selling classic goods. It's like a giant recycling program for furniture, paintings, as well as: pottery, glass, clocks, dolls, toys, military items, jewelry, folk art, and much more! There's even food!

10 Things We'd ♥ to See in Future Liberty.

2011-02-06T10:23:00.002-05:00

10) Better Walkability: A town or cities walkability is defined by how easy it is to get to things, and how much of things are within walking distance. Liberty is already a great town with tons to walk to, but we'd love to see more. By converting streets into pedestrian only walking paths (or sharing roads by making them one way and using the other half as a sidewalk), closing Swannanoa Street
