Anyone know of any puppy/dog play groups in the area? I know about the dog park, but I was also around when some less than stellar stuff happened, and I really need to socialize my pup but would prefer to do so in a more controlled environment.

He's a 7 month old goldendoodle, around 36 lbs, fully vaccinated and being fixed at the end of the month. Cool dude, a little high strung so I keep a close watch on him but he's played well with the other couple of dogs he's been able to interact with.

Thanks! 💖

anyone know of any summer internships that are forensic or biology related in hickory or very close by?

How is the real estate market in hickory?

My curiosity is running wild on this.. it's on 70, just east of Lenoir Rhyne University, and right next to Wendy's and Chick-fil-A.

Wondering if anyone knows or has had experience working for Unity Solutions. I never trust reviews on indeed and Google has 1 5 star review. Not very reliable. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I live in Hickory so I think this is the best place to post my question. I recently bought a car magnet that is in the shape of a comma and says "la" inside to show my support of the political candidate I favor. It's subtle and not inflammatory. My husband freaked out and said I was asking for trouble if I put it on my car. He said someone could damage my car or accost me in the parking lot. He thinks it's "dangerous". We have small children. I am the parent that drives them everywhere. Now I don't agree with him I don't think Hickory is full of people who will vandalize my car or hurt me and my children because of a subtle car magnet. I think it's a fear reaction and it's way over the top. If someone keyed my car or broke a window, I hardly think it would go unnoticed by passersby nor do I think it would be more than my insurance premium but he's also afraid that insurance won't cover the damage. Also if matters (I don't think it does) I paid for my car and I pay for the car insurance on both vehicles. So the question is, should I be so terrified of Hickory residents damaging my vehicle because of a car magnet supporting Kamala Harris for president, that I should avoid putting it on my car??

I'm planning to join my friends plan who stays in major city Seattle, I'm planning to join his plan but I live in hickory. Wondering how's the network coverage here?? If anyone is a Xfinity user, please share your experiences!!

Is swimming in the lake below the dam recommended?

I checked SwimGuide, and appears the lake gets a green rating, meaning it "passes 95% of the time. But not sure that means the water is good swimming.

I just recently accepted a job and the stipulation is that I have to move to the western part of North Carolina. Me and my wife are looking at the Hickory area. We are looking for suggestions on apartments in Hickory. If any can recommend some apartments in Hickory or another location in the western part of NC, that would be greatly appreciate. Thank you.

I recently moved to Hickory for a job and have been commuting with a rental from Enterprise, but now I'm planning to buy a used car. While driving on Hwy 70, I've noticed several car dealerships, including "Hickory Used Car Superstore," which seems to have a large selection. As I'm new to the area and a recent master's graduate, I'm looking for recommendations on where to buy a car around here. I've checked Facebook Marketplace, but the selection wasn't great. I'm also considering financing the car so I can pay for it myself instead of relying on my parents' money.

So, people from Hickory kindly suggest some places where I can buy used cars.

I've recently moved to Hickory, and it's only been a few days, not even a week. I wanted to explore downtown or find some nightlife in or around the area. Yesterday, I drove around looking for the downtown scene but couldn't really find anything—no taverns or pubs where I could meet new people. I noticed Lenoir-Rhyne University nearby, but there doesn't seem to be a downtown area surrounding it.

The only places I found with good ratings, like The Olde Tavern or Hickory Tavern, close by 11 PM. I’m hoping someone could suggest some other bars or places to check out?

In town for a few weeks and wanting to play.

There was a hotel we stayed in back in the 2000s in or around Hickory. I have spotty memories of it: the exterior was made of stone, someone who worked there told us celebrities used to vacation there in the 20s or 30s maybe? It wasn't an upscale place (did not contain a spa), but had a lot of old charm. Definitely would've been lower cost when we stayed there. The rooms were smaller and dark. There was a stone terrace out back. It wasn't in town, I remember a lot of trees like it was back off the road or at least in a more remote area. It was bigger than a house but it wasn't a huge place like The Omni Grove in Asheville.

It has a similar vibe to Gideon Ridge Inn in Blowing Rock but it was larger.

I have been trying to remember the name of this place for years. It's completely possible it no longer exists as a hotel. Google has been no help in finding it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Other than driving ourselves and paying for parking, what are the options for getting down to CLT airport?

Any functional medicine or holistic doctors in the area/surrounding area? Google is not being much help.

Currently renting from a slumlord group called Meridian Capital aka Precision Property Management aka On 20th Apartments. They're super shady. BBB is all Fs and Ds. We have 71 days until the end of our lease and I'm finding it hard to trust any of these landlords. Any recommendations?;
