You were 'moving in' about the same time I first visited the town! (Which is what it was back then.)

Years later, I had some good fiends who lived in the very huge and old hospital (I think that is what it originally was) at Montford and Watauga. We used to run around tripping our balls off in Montford Park. We would also do the walk during the Christmas holidays because that area used to really go for it with the decorations.
