Well ok then. I love it. And it's not all hippies and artists...tho they're fine by me. There's a very southern, old time vibe to Asheville as well. Go to the Catholic cathedral and you'll see women wearing veils and a very staid vibe. It's both. And it works. And it has amazing restaurants and music and streets alive. Biltmore is amazing especially with exhibits. Try it again when it recovers. Hotel Indigo is awesome.
