High Point is a city located in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. It was named High Point because it was located at the highest point of the 1856 North Carolina Railroad between Charlotte and Goldsboro. The population in 2007 was listed at 105,297. It is nicknamed "Furniture and Hosiery Capital of the World", though many of the manufacturing jobs are long gone. High Point still hosts the International Home Furnishings Market twice a year, that attracts 100,000 exhibitors and buyers from around the world, though they now have competition for this market from Las Vegas. Some natives of High Point are: Fantasia Barrino, 2004 America Idol winner; Adrian Wilson, safety for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals; Brian Williams, cornerback for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars; Bill Davis, owner of Bill Davis Racing of NASCAR; and John Coltrane, celebrated saxophonist, was born in Hamlet, NC and moved to High Point shortly after birth, where he remained through high school. High Point University is a private college here.
There is not too much to see or do in High Point, as far as attractions go, but there are some good magnet school programs in this area. One of the biggest events for locals is the High Point Andrews vs High Point Central football game. High Point can also be referred to as "the point".

Many people were mad that Fantasia bashed High Point in her book, but she was only telling the truth.

Get the High Point mug.Victoria point or viccy point as it is known to the locals is filled with teenage whores dating 20 year olds and rejected surfer scum. This place is an undesirable shit hole. Buying a house in this area will destroy anything left of your self esteem. If looking to find some pussy, head down to the local mcdonalds where these common teenage whores tend to congregate, fiending for there slice of dick. Another common sight in this suburb are P-plate hoons who spend all of there money; earnt from there shitty low-class jobs on there 'awesome cars'. Clearly insecure about the size of there penis's these boys will do anything for a root and no age is too young.
Wife: This has got to be the shittest, most desease ridden place on the face of the earth, who would even consider buying a house in this shithole?
Husband: teenage scum and whores as far as the eye can see!

Husband: I guess that's Victoria Point for you!
