Well, the portrayal of this area by Muse is not accurate. We are progressive and yes, we are in the foothills, but we have long since left the toothless, outhouse using, dirt floor living lives. There are other communities outside of Catawba County that may have this, especially closer and deeper in the mountains, however, this is a nice place to live. I have been here for 38 years and have never seen any vigilantism but think it is time there should be. I also believe that if you trust our government then you are more of a fool than the most back woods, incestuous mountain man. I have lived here my entire life except for the 11 years I spend in various colleges and think that our views since prohibition have come a very long way.
