Walking Around Downtown Forest City, North Carolina

Forest City was once named

Burnt Chimney, for the remains

of a chimney left standing

after a house fire.

Forest City has ample
parking in the downtown
shopping district.

The Brew House & Bistro

isn't what Eric thought it

would be....

Brewed coffee is its

featured beverage, not

craft beers.

Farmer's Hardware is
decorated for Christmas.

The local Democratic

Headquarters

I love seeing flowers bloom
in December.

I like City Computer's blue &

 silver holiday decorations.

Anchor Down & Chain Up
Consignment/Resale Shop

Universal Finance has an

 automated arrow sign

to advertise the business.

Ray Rice Martial Arts
Center's Motto is:

We Are On A Quest To
Be Our Best!

Getting ready to ride

on a beautiful afternoon.

Straight Edge Cut
& Shave Shop

The Twisted Pear is a fun

shopping experience...

Home Decor, Accessories,

Wine & Craft Beers

This is unusual...

Open air seating behind a
decorative gate

The Forest City Ace

Hardware Store

The Forest City Diner
has closed.

I hope it reopens under
new management.

Forest City has a charming, eclectic downtown shopping area.  Eric's search for craft beers was not in vain...  The Twisted Pear offers an interesting selection for him to select from.
