You can buy all kinds of arts and crafts in Asheville's River Arts District.
Dog lovers do not despair, even if the Lovin' Spoonful never sang about you. There's something for everybody in this very livable city.
Graffiti seems oddly out of context with trees around.
With its new motto, the River Arts District seems to be trying to overcome the perils of mass popularity.
Mountainside housing stock in West Asheville, also hip, seems plentiful.
But it will cost you to live downtown.
Here's the Wolfe family plot.
Thomas, North Carolina's most famous author, lies here.
The one who wrote You Can't Go Home Again not Bonfire of the Vanities. It was published posthumously after his death from tuberculosis at age 37.
Here's the boarding house where his mother raised him. It features prominently in Look Homeward Angel, his first and most autobiographical novel.
We headed back to the River Arts District to check out the shopping. I enjoyed the remnants of the industrial past even more.
Neither of us could place these white blooms.
Bicycles galore contributed to my growing collection of images taken worldwide.
One shop offered an on-site glass blowing class.
Hand-painted ceramics and masks were available, too.
Christine lunched at the very funky Grey Eagle Taqueria. It offers live music from an outdoor stage in the evenings.
You can't have an outdoor barbecue without this.
The perfect backdrop for Christine's Mini Cooper. As my father would have said, "It didn't miss a beat the entire trip!"
