Asheville, NC has been on my "check it out" list for many years, so I made a point to stop here for 2 nights. Having just spent nearly a week in the Smoky Mountains, I didn't appreciate the city surroundings as much as I probably should have, but I enjoyed the city. I stayed in West Asheville which is its own groovy, little neighborhood of shops & breweries & cafes, and in just one day on foot and one on two wheels, I pretty much covered this town. For a city of fewer than 100,000 people, it does have a unique personality and much to offer, though I expected a more bike-friendly environment. Now that I've visited Burlington, VT, Flagstaff, AZ, Boulder, CO, and Asheville, NC, I'm wondering if I've missed any of the small progressive towns of America!? My #1 vote still goes to Boulder. Up next, the year in review (by the numbers).

Thanks for the Ashville tour. I've always wanted to go there since Kevin moved to North Carolina. Every time I've visited him it was for a special occasion and never left Raleigh. Leave a Reply. |
