5/3/2010 10:10:38 PM

5/3/2010 10:11:23 PM
sounds like either a strip club or a parking lot that local kids cruise
5/3/2010 10:12:30 PM

is that right there when you're heading into roxboro from the south?
5/3/2010 10:17:04 PM
^yeah, its about a 2 minute drive from my house actually.and no.....theres not SHIT to do. Go to Danville, Durham or Hillsborough
5/3/2010 10:18:11 PM
so what's there to do in danville? what nc city is comparable to danville? i've never been there.
5/3/2010 10:18:54 PM
danville is similar to a durham.i just named 3 places within a 30 minutes drive time where there is stuff to do. If i REALLY want to go out and do something, i drive to raleigh

5/3/2010 10:21:23 PM
I grew up in Roxboro. There is pretty much nothing for an adult to do there.
5/3/2010 10:22:24 PM
plz tell me you are relocating to Roxboro for something other than personal choice
5/3/2010 10:22:44 PM
oh shit, i forgot, theres a super walmart
5/3/2010 10:23:58 PM
danville seems to me to be a little shithole on the face of the earthi had to blow up some rocks there for a road awhile backafter the 1st night, i stayed in a hotel in reidsville
5/3/2010 10:24:10 PM
Clarksville Station has a pretty good steak.
5/3/2010 10:24:16 PM
i guess i'll just spend a lot of time fishing. hopefully i can find someone around there who'll let me hunt their land for cheap/free. i don't think i'm ever gonna actually be happy with where i'm living until i'm less than 30 minutes from a decent inshore fishing spot anyway.
5/3/2010 10:24:20 PM
my soon to be brother-in-law's family lives there....I know they do some decent hunting, deer and turkey atleast.
5/3/2010 10:26:51 PM
^^^ this.and they have a hamburger steak with awesome onion and mushroom toppings. its great
5/3/2010 10:31:03 PM
ok so i guess there's at least one decent restaurant there. i'll check it out.
5/3/2010 10:32:16 PM
oh yeah i forgot i'm pretty damn close to orange county speedway and south boston speedway. sweet local racing action at both of those spots.
5/3/2010 10:35:25 PM
Speaking of restaurants, check out the Homestead as well.
5/3/2010 10:41:58 PM
Yeah i would say that Homestead has a better steak than Clarksville Station. At least it did 10 years ago when i still was around that area.
5/3/2010 10:45:32 PM
I remember when Palace Point opened. . . our home theater in South Boston was still $5 up until then. Fuckers
5/3/2010 10:47:54 PM
a girl on myspace friended me back in the day, she was from theretalked a lot of junk, figured it was to make her bf jealousa few months went by and she changed her status to marriedlol
5/3/2010 10:55:42 PM
don't mess with any girls from around roxboro though.....they're either into drugs, got some kinda STD or are so damn high maintenance its not funny
5/3/2010 10:58:09 PM
yeah, i'm importing my own wayne county girl so i should be good to go
5/3/2010 11:00:18 PM
I grew up in Danville. If that's where you have to go to have fun, Roxboro must be the pit of hell.
5/3/2010 11:14:15 PM
yeah i drove through there and the whole place looked like one big shithole. i mean, usually a town will have like a nicer area and then like a shitty ghetto area, but this whole places was shitty. down at the south end there's like a walmart, a lowe's, a food lion, and a golden corral. those were the only places i drove by and actually would've felt comfortable entering.
5/4/2010 12:04:24 AM
There are a couple of nicer areas, they just aren't on the main highway.
5/4/2010 12:05:31 AM
btw we're renting a shack a couple miles east of town
5/4/2010 12:06:50 AM
Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston nearby, you'll be fine.
5/4/2010 12:08:12 AM
roxboro...LOL
5/4/2010 12:09:27 AM
well, i'll pretty much be working on mayo lake so i'll probably just fish there. i need to add a fishing kayak to the fleet.[Edited on May 4, 2010 at 12:11 AM. Reason : ^inorite]
5/4/2010 12:11:18 AM
My mom grew up there. My grandmother and aunt/uncle still live there. The uncle's brother owns Clarksville Station roughly 3/4 mile north of Palace Point. It's definitely not a bad little town. I have spent many weekends and extended vacations there.And they have Cookout, Bojangles, and Biscuitville all within 1/4 mile of each other.
5/4/2010 12:21:24 AM
alright sweet i can get my fast food fix :\
5/4/2010 12:22:51 AM
My cousin's used to live there ages ago in the 80's. My uncle owned a "Scottish Inn" up there. I wonder if it's still around.
5/4/2010 12:58:11 AM
Clarksville Station is good eatingand Hyco lake was good fishing and still might be.
5/4/2010 1:04:14 AM
not from Roxboro, spent time there as a kid and visit 4-5x year to see fam and whatnot. It's pretty boring even by small town standards. You've gotta eat @ the Outer Banks Restaurant while you're there, it's the medicine. I know the concept of a small inland town and decent seafood don't generally mix but it's really more soul food than seafood.

5/4/2010 7:46:09 AM
so has this thread run its course or does anyone have some more input?
5/5/2010 7:27:56 AM
I lived there til i was ten and then summers and stuff with my dad. Go fishing. palace pointe is not a good place to drink too many 14 yr olds wandering around there
5/5/2010 8:35:12 AM
If you're into hunting and/or fishing, there is plenty of opportunity for that. Place point is ok to go catch a movie or kill some time, but there's really nothing to go out and do for the most part.
5/5/2010 10:48:55 AM
