Asheville, NC is the mountain town of OZ. You move to Asheville to get away from douche-bag types who brag about mediocre country club memberships while watching duck dynasty w/ annoying suburban
soccer-mom wives embroidering every stitch of clothing in the house. Here the Southerners are hip and progressive...not boring, backward or prudish. Here people read books, appreciate architecture and eat at Wholefoods, not Golden Corral. Here people respect humans of all colors, familial status, sexual orientations and ethnicity...religion here is about love, not discrimination. Diversity, Creativity, Art and Music are celebrated and instead of a police-state like much of the South, here the police are your helpful neighbors. These Southerners have an honest friendliness, they are not narrow-minded or bigoted and they love to hike, ski, fish, dance, and
eat well. People in
Ashville go to Europe on holiday...not Panama City Beach. Asheville attracts a better class of human being celebrating life in a kaleidoscope of art and song.
