What it’s like

The place. Reidsville is a small city in Rockingham County where the population skews a little older than the national picture. Incomes run well below the county's, and more homes are rented than across much of the county, though most homes are still lived in by their owners. Winters are cool, with a January that stays above the teens but below comfortable, a little snow most years, and summers that turn properly warm by July. Rain is steady through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Reidsville are Annie Penn, Dorada Foods, which processes chicken, and Walmart. The county has lost some jobs over the past year, and unemployment there has eased from where it stood a year earlier. A typical commute is a fairly short drive across town or to a neighboring one, and few people work from home.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Haw River State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Benaja Creek and Candy Creek are small rivers close by as well. Farther afield, Greensboro Science Center is a zoo a longer drive away, and Martinsville Speedway is a race track that fans of motorsport will know, also a longer drive off.
