“Asheville . . . the place the liberals move when they decide they can’t stand conservative Greenville anymore”
Asheville certainly has its share of moonbeams, hippies, and assorted wierdos. Something you wouldn’t normally expect up in the hills.
Well, it is a college town, after all.
Asheville is the Haight Ashbury of the Smokies. It is totally out of place. It would be interesting to compare its history to Austin TX, another out of place city. You have to wonder what it was exactly that caused them to become magnets for liberal artsy types. I actually kind of like the liberal artsy culture in some ways — it’s just too bad it’s always tied to statist authoritarianism.
