Chicken Alley, just around the corner, sports
one of Asheville's most brilliant murals. I enjoy
escaping there to admire artist Molly Must's colorful work. On close inspection, one discovers
the mural's larger-than-life rooster and chicken,
a woman holding a jar of honey and a snake
named "Boy" all pay tribute to a long-closed
poultry and produce shop. The modern energy
and nod to history in this art never fails to produce a smile and spark the imagination.
Sightings of the nun, tiny doorways and an
eclectic mix of murals, gargoyles and graffiti help
validate my idea of what the bumper sticker
"Keep Asheville Weird" is saying. "Weird," as it
relates to Asheville, means open, vibrant and
unique - anything but ordinary. This town is deliciously quirky, decidedly progressive, and a destination that continues to offer surprises for even
the most jaded.

SURROUNDED BY AWE-INSPIRING natural beauty, it's
also a foodie town, a microbrewery town, a music
town, an arts and crafts town and a place that
embraces buying local, eating organic and celebrating
the kind of changes that transformed the ghost town

list, George Vanderbilt's massive playground gives you a chance to see how
the ultra rich lived. If you're a fan of
Downton Abbey, you'll love comparing
it to Biltmore Estate's history and secrets.
Concerts on the South Terrace in the
summer months are another great bet.

Catch a Ballgame - Head over to
McCormick Field to see the Asheville
Tourists in action. This popular minor
league team is an affiliate of the
