- Kannapolis, NC is an awesome small town in NC. Today, we tour the historic Gem Theater and walk through Kannapolis. This small town even has an amazing minor league baseball team, the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. We love this place because it has so many things to do but still holds that small town charm.

I've lived in Kannapolis my whole life you wouldn't believe how dead that area downtown was 5 years ago before they built it up. There was never a soul there. They did a great job.
It really is amazing. We love coming down there for a movie or a game. It's worth a little drive it's so nice.
I know this is a year old, but I lived in Kannapolis way back in 2003-2005 and saw Cannon Mills get demolished , it’s so surreal to see it look so different without the construction gates and destroyed buildings everywhere. I can’t wait to go back and visit one day
It's crazy seeing the amount of change that's happened there! There's even a huge apartment building going up next to the baseball field now.
I would love to visit Kannapolis!! Such a cute quaint town!! Thanks for showing us around!! Go Cannonballers!!!
I grew up in Kannapolis on Tanglewood Drive. Went to the Gem Theater many times.
It's such a cool area now and growing! I've got to get out there and do the NASCAR museum and things.
I work downtown for our parks are recreation and I have a big passion for my hometown and it’s a beautiful place and I enjoy seeing all the beautiful work there city has done!
We absolutely love Kannapolis too! You all have a great thing going on over there!
Did you know where that there use to be a mill where the research campus is? and it use to be called cannon mills
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching, in glad you enjoyed it!
I'm*
I was born and raised in Kannapolis but have been living in Florida the past 7 years. I love looking up videos when i get really homesick lol. It was only one dollar to see a movie at the Gem for years and years. Not sure how much it is now. Although i love all the changes they have done in the downtown area i still hate the fact that they have practically done away with the history of Cannon mills but i guess time marches on. Great video and thanks !!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We love Kannapolis and go there all the time. I'd love to pay $1 for a movie!
This was my first job as a kid. Way back in the mid 90s. I used to hate going back stage for supplies. I could've swore that place was haunted. Very different place after lights out. Awesome video. Thanks. I live way out of state now so I really enjoyed this little visit to my backstory.
That's awesome! I know it caught on fire in the 40's but I'm unaware of any deaths that happened there. I'm very glad you enjoyed the video. It's comments like this that make all of this worth it!
Love this town! Love the GEM theatre and can't wait to see The Bad Guys!!! Can't beat the price of popcorn, drinks and candy!! Love your R2D2 Back Pack!!
It's an awesome little town. That Gem Theater is one of the best things for this area IMO. Thanks about the backpack. We bought it at Disney World a good while ago.
Being from this area, Mount Pleasant; I have only been to that theater once back in 1996. They were doing $.99 movies. Also, looks as if you got yourself a Cheer-wine. Good choice 👍
That's exactly what my wife got me. I had no idea that stuff existed until I moved to NC and wow is it good! I miss the days of $.99 movies. Shoot, $.99 anything sounds good at this point lol. Thanks for watching!
Why didn’t you not go to the Earnhardt plaza?
I honestly don't know anything about it. Is it part of the Dale trail?
@@8bitvacations it’s on Main Street, a block away from Gem theater, across the cannon ballers. Really cool statue and plaza. Dale Earnhardt has a lot of history in kannapolis really nice of the city to give him a statue. Check it out next time your there
I definitely will. Thanks for the info!
Why they didn’t just call them the cannon balls? 😂
Ya know, I really don't know. Maybe they were trying to call them selves "ballers" by doing that.
