Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: If you come to Norton, you must go to the High Knob Recreation Area. And if you're brave, climb up to flag rock. Unless you're a thin person, you won't make it through the crack you'll have to climb through to pose with the pole, but you'll still get close enough to say...

Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: This play runs June through August of every year. 2003 will be its 40th season.The Trail of the Lonesome Pine is a love story. I got to see this play for the first time last summer. Unfortunately, a downpour rained out the very last part of the play, so a tour guide verbally...

The Ice-Cream Parlor: Casual hang-out place
Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: While it's not Baskin Robbins' 32 flavors, it's got a variety of ice-cream ranging from the standard vanilla to super-man.They also serve hamburgers, hotdogs, beans and cornbread, salads, etc. B.L.T. with side-salad.
Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: Roma's is one of my favorites. It's actually in Wise, but that's close enough (just 5 miles or so from home- not a journey). Roma's is a pizzeria but they also serve a variety of pasta and toasted sandwhiches.... and beer half- order of lasagna with breadsticks (side-salad...

okay, here's the deal... The only nightlife you'll find in Norton 99% of the time is the kind you make on your own. (c;n We do have a bar in town called The Fizz at the Holiday Inn Norton. I've not been in it either, but I do know that they play live music there. A guy (see picture) I worked with used to play gigs 3 nights a week.
Ofcourse, there's the occasional college party and stuff, but if you want to go clubbin', you need to go to Kingsport or Johnson City (Tennessee- about 1-1 and a half hours away). Here's a short list of some of your options...
Gilligans- Kingsport, TN
The Planet- Kingsport, TN
The Fizz- Norton, VA
Banana Joe's- Knoxville, TN
New Beginnings (gay club)-Johnson City, TN
Dress Code: I'd recommend something glittery. Usually works if you're trying to attract attention.

You can find pretty much anything you'll need here. There's also a k-mart, magic mart, and Big Lots. But Wal-Mart is by far the most convenient and most likely to have what you're looking for.
The available shopping centers:
VA-KY Shopping Center
Wise County Plaza
Norton Shopping Center

Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: If you come to Norton, whether you're a man or woman, you can walk down dimmly or unlit streets at mid-night and not worry about getting mugged or raped or killed. It's a very safe place to be. You will be treated as you treat others.Wave and smile at the stranger passing...
Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: I found this picture of the lookout tower on the internet. I'm not aware of when it was taken. Anyway, I've been to the lookout tower once. Good lord, what a great view. You can see 5 states from this tower (Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky)....
Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: The only thing more fun than camping with your buddies is hiking with your buddies... especially around the resevoir (okay, so my spelling is oviously off this morning. Too tired to look it up tin the dictionary, so bare with me here).There's also horse back riding...
Ye_Old_Curiosity Says: I love to go camping. My first camping trip to high knob was about 3 years ago. It's the absolute best fun to go with friends. And believe me, you'll have no problem finding a place to pitch your tent.There's nothing better than flashlight tag in the middle of the woods.

Favorite thing: If you come to Norton, You've got to see Flag Rock. It'd be even better if you climbed it.
The climb itself isn't so bad. First-time rock climbers are welcome. However, if you want to pose with the pole, you better be skinny and unafraid to climb through the crack in the rock.
As for me, I was satisfied for the time being seeing the flag from 10 feet away. I'm not getting my as$ stuck in that boulder, lol.
Fondest memory: Camping with my friends on High Knob.

Somewhere there's a train playing it's deep sorrowful song in the gray misty night. I'd have tons more pictures for you, but I accidentally formatted the d@mn memory stick in my digital camera......
