Salisbury 101

We're here to sign you up for ""Salisbury 101."" Any implied references to Heinz 57 are to be banned from your mental space, because this North Carolina city of nearly 34,000 has nothing whatsoever to do with mouthwatering steak or food of any kind. But it has everything to do with fantastic apartments and a while lotta fun.

Having seen a growth spurt not unlike that of an actual person (a teenager, in particular), the city’s population has mushroomed by nearly 30% in the short time between 2000 and 2010. Even more impressively, the city has managed to earn a reputation for historical preservation at the same time it's seen its head count grow. The former phenomenon is typically associated with small towns whose heyday has passed, while the latter is a hallmark feature of a rapidly expanding suburbs, but Salisbury's straddled the two with skill thanks to the governing prowess of Mayor Paul Woodson and pals. And speaking of city politics, the city outlined some of its top priorities and goals for recent years, which include ""creating a culture of excellent customer service within the city Organization,"" ""improving neighborhoods and safety for all areas of the City,"" safeguarding youth, and enhancing the economy through educational attainment and skill building. Pretty solid stuff all-in-all, which you can dive into here if you so desire. You'll especially enjoy the swim if Bureaucratese is your first language.

The city is home to a North Carolina soft drink of a more than minor claim to fame. It's called Cheerwine. Maybe you've heard of it? The use of the word ""wine"" notwithstanding, this is actually a perfectly PG rated soda, though we can't speak to the rating classification given to Miss Cheerwine. The drink is nearly 100 years old. Miss Cheerwine is most definitely not.

The local economy is fueled by a few notable players. Let's start with the top player: Food Lion, a chain store popular in the South which makes its headquarters here. Following this ""lion"" of the pack are the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the city itself, and finally Rowan County, wherein Salisbury sits, and its numerous personnel.

When it comes to education, count on 8 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 8 high schools (with a smattering of private institutions thrown in for good measure) to do your book learnin' bidding. If you've got kids, this bit of information will be especially handy. If not, well, at least you can find out where to slow your driving speed down to 15mph or so and avoid being the pariah of the community.

Got (Salisbury) Art?

Bucking the stereotype that the South can't do art like its Northeastern brethren, the city is positively flooded with cultural outlets sure to appeal to the Bohemian in all of us. So flooded in fact that one of its biggest attractions on the artsy front is dubbed the Waterworks Visual Arts Center. Here one can explore religious paintings, the works of clay artist Ed Byers and the sculptures of Don Green. Pretty snazzy if you ask us. And you are, aren't you?

The Salisbury Symphony Orchestra can put those big city players to shame any day of the week (though usually on the weekends) with its string pluckin' and horn blowin' maneuvers. This talented outfit has performed The Nutcracker, Schubert, and of course the legendary Beethoven in its day, and invites you to enjoy its stylings once you've settled into your awesome new pad here in west-central NC.

See what else you can get your eyes, ears, and heart around when it comes to visual, aural, and all around emotional art, respectively, with the help of this cool site. Then start your apartment search with confidence, knowing that you’re moving to a truly amazing place.
