Oh Asheville

[donbosco]

This is part of the time frame that I lived in Asheville. My dad had bought land in Weaverville in the 80s, we moved there in 1990 before I moved to Wilmington in 99. My parents and brother still live in Fairview, so I come visit a few times a year.

Granted, I don't live there anymore but I don't feel it's changed that much since the 90s. Every place has evolved since the 90s and Asheville is no different in that sense. It's still a cool spot where hippies, new age people and rednecks all coexist with each other.

As for the OP, the poster who said it sounded like it was AI attempting to be funny nailed it.

I lived in WVL - then Fairview - just moved back to WVL. It’s a pretty good place.

Don’t know about the smell of patchouli but in the mid-70s when I attended the Asheville School for a year the smell from the paper mills in Canton/Enka did not impress! Always a weird combo of wealth and poverty. But hell growing up in Southern Pines/Pinehurst was similar just smaller.
