I've been meaning to mention since you're in Asheville...
For 35+ years I was all over the US working, much of it on or near the east coast. Usually for weeks at a time. The ONLY area east of Colorado(except Texas) that I truly liked was the Asheville area, and that was close to 20 years ago. Sounds like it's just gotten better. I still have my Belle Chere shirt I bought there.
I was very sad to learn that the landmark Mack Kells closed, and also that Belle Chere is gone. My two fondest memories, sigh.
