2021 Carolina's Finest

Finest Mainstreet

It’s a fun street to stroll and explore. Among the treasures you’ll find is the North Carolina Specialty Shop, featuring a wide range of tasty food products; Shorty’s Famous Hot Dogs; Bodega Tapas & Wine; The Cotton Company; and B & W Hardware Company. Stop in and get a bag of complimentary popcorn to enjoy as you browse the store and explore all this popular street has to offer.

It truly looks like a scene from a historic movie while still being on trend and alive! Truly a destination any time someone comes to visit me from out of town.
