Enjoyed it indeed. A breath of fresh air to see you do a country side tour, leaving the bright lights of the big cities temporarily behind. The Pips would had felt threaten, feeling potential competition with that Midnight Train to Georgia verse you sang. Great job!

We do have a beautiful state here in NC. Next time visit Boone, NC, which is less that 2 hours from Asheville. A great little mountain/college town that is less touristy than Asheville.

Our new Dodge 330 was bought at Brown and Graham Motors at the bottom of the hill way back in 1964

When my parents were alive, they kept telling me that they wanted to “retire” in Asheville (from living in Far Rockaway, NY)😊

Thanks for this video, Tom. I’ve lived in the area for over 45 years. When my family moved here in the mid-1970’s Asheville was mostly boarded up and unused. As I recall, Asheville was the most indebted city in the US for many decades following the Great Depression. Next time you’re back for a visit, check out the Black Mountain College museum in Asheville. There were many famous artists and instructors at BMC such as Joseph Albers and Buckminster Fuller, and many with NYC connections. BMC operated from 1933-1957 at what is now Blue Ridge Assembly and Camp Rockmont, which was built by E.W. Grove near the Grove Stone quarry. Shortly before his death, E.W. Grove began building a planned town called Grovemont in Swannanoa. Sadly neither the town nor the 11-story Grove Arcade Tower were completed. Also, remains of Raphael Guastavino’s house and tile kiln are located outside of Black Mountain at his former estate, now called Christmont.

Thank you for connecting the Guastavino dots for me. I went to Christmount camp as a teenager and they told us ghost stories about the italian man who used to live there and was a sommelier. Obviously they got a lot wrong....Spanish and a renowned architect. LOL. Never did put two and two together. :)

My family lived in Asheville 1972 to 1981. My parents purchased an 1800 square foot home with a full basement in North Asheville near Beaver Lake in 1972 for $45,000. My father lost his job in 1981 because of management change at his employer; we had to move out of the state; and they sold the house for $80,000. In April of this year, that same house sold for $800,000.

Sobering statement (for you personally and many people) - "You can't go home again." I am assuming you mean NYC as you knew it (and same for CA for others).

Asheville is a cool place for sure. I was a little surprised about the amount of homeless people there. But it seems common now in any town USA.

Yaaaas finally a place i actually know in the show 🙌🏽 please interview an author on the ppalachia region and civil rights in western NC 👏🏽 also isnt it wild that Greensboro has the civil rights museum, and the town right over, Winston-Salem, has a statue of the daughters of the confederacy literally downtown? Spooked the ish out of me. Its like a reminder that we might have won, but them people are just waiting.

You cut your hair! Did you cut it to impress mom? Or did she whack it off after you went to visit her? lol I happen to like long hair but it looks cute on you:-) Your mom did a wonderful job on the video footage, and Asheville is very beautiful. Enjoy your visit:-) 🌲🌳🌿☘🍀🍃
