I just moved to Gastonia. I used to think it was a little redneck town that I never wanted to go to. However, I met my husband, and he is from here. Need-less-to-say, I wound up here a few months ago because of that. I still do not know a lot of people here, and I still think it is a redneck town. However, now I think that it is a redneck town in a good way. Everyone wants to come up and talk to you. I am not used to that because I am from Winston-Salem and people do not do that there. I found out that there is a few random mountains here lol who knew? My husband took me on a trail to see one of them. It was called Crowders Mountain. It is absolutely beautiful!! Then he has taken me to a few lakes in the area. Lake Wylie and Moss Lake…Absolutely Breathtaking! It makes me proud to be from North Carolina. Moss Lake is a fairly small lake but it is soooo clean. I had never heard of it until I moved here!..
