Mooresville was a racing town. That’s about all I knew of the small city just north of Charlotte, North Carolina. Traffic was getting crowded on the highways which had grown from two lane to too many lanes. That’s exactly why I never expected Mooresville to be a quiet escape with friendly folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been road tripping through North Carolina along U.S. Highway 21 – starting in Wytheville, Virginia about a week earlier. After leaving Statesville behind and making a detour to do some hiking at Lake Norman State Park, I rolled into Mooresville<\/a><\/strong> in the late afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was love at first sight driving down Main Street as I passed What-A-Burger – a wonderfully old fashioned drive in burger joint. It was a great start to two days in Mooresville. Here are some of my favorite travel photos I captured during my visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Mooresville was quiet – even as the onslaught of rush hour traffic began to flow through town. A traffic light at Main and Center would hold traffic like a dam until a sudden release allowed a few minutes of cars to zip through. The peace returned, and I went back to capturing photos like these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual people walking, sitting, and chatting with each other! I have always believed locals strolling through downtown to be an indicator of the quality of the town. Young and old, male and female, they all strolled through town as each and every one asked, “How you doing?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
