Way back in the late 80s or maybe early 90s I was at a mall, just West of Asheville. I saw Cherokee Indians dressed in war paint all around the mall.

Sort of disquieting. I had no idea what they were doing. I later learned they were taking a break from filming “Last of the Mohicans”. They had been hired from the reservation in Cherokee. I knew a guy who lived near Old Fort. They were filming part of the movie on his land.

One of the Vanderbilts preferred Western Carolina.

He built a nice house there.

That shack???

I'm Mountn Man, I want mountains. North Carolina doesn't have mountains.

They have some pretty, little hills though.

Estes is at an elevation of 7500 ft. Rocky Mountain National Park is next to EP. It has Longs Peak at 14255.
21 Thirteeners (mountains at least 13,000 ft) and 72 mountains total, at least 12,000 ft.

Freelan Stanley of Stanley Steamer, built the Stanley Hotel in Estes. He was suffering from TB and went out west, on advice from his Dr.. After a summer there, his health dramatically improved. He loved the area, so he invested in the area and built the hotel. He built a house in the Estes area also.

Stephen King stayed at The Stanley, where he was inspired by and wrote The Shinning.

Hmmmm ..?? Whole Foods is owned by an ultra-liberal; it’s part of the reason I never shop there.

I’m surprised they are attacking him.

When the illegals start flooding in again I plan to post signs directing them to Malibu. I think they’ll really enjoy it there. Better scraps, nice finds in their trash and a nice cozy beach for naps and bedtime.

You don’t think they’ll mind, do you?

Good, drive all the way to Santa Monica or over the hill if you want your organic cheese or whatever

They won't drive there; the servants will.

Re: Rockford’s car. Yeah, Jimmy had it made back then, one of my favorite shows of all time. I detoured off PCH on my way North to stop off at that cove once long ago and was disappointed not to find the trailer or car there, just didn’t seem right. There was a restaurant, however, looked like the once that used to turn up in the show.

These wealthy libs love open borders for America but keeping the riff raff out of their neighborhood. I am sure Barbara Streisand and the others shop at Whole Foods. But they do it by sending their flunky driving to a Whole Foods 20 miles away to do the shopping

Same as Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) bought the five houses adjoining his in Palo Alto (in that area) for more privacy and security. Meanwhile he has been spending-contributing millions on AMNESTY-open borders TV advertizing

So instead of walking or biking a few blocks to get some healthy food at a local Whole Foods, the celebrities will get in their chauferred gas-guzzling Rolls Royces and drive to a Whole Foods in another location, and wait in the vehicle with their bodyguards while it is idling, while their personal slave, er, assistant goes in to make the purchases for them. By doing this, by their own admission they will be spewing CO2 in the air causing more global warming which will cause colder temperatures and extreme weather.

Servant is such a racist term. Malibu residents prefer calling them their flunkies, gofers, stooges

Wegmans is to Whole Foods as Whole Foods is to Kroger, Safeway, Albertson's whatever.

That said, I mostly shop at Market Basket and TJ's. I'm cheap. But I'm recently partial to Wegmans' salad bar ...

the whole deal with the rich arrogant so called elites is they want to live in pristine areas with no rabble around...no MN basketball....no tachy community centers for the rabble to hang around...no fast food restaurants so the workers could grab a quick lunch...and no wind turbines, by God, no wind turbines..

you see they don't have to live by the rules they want the rest of us to live by, because you know, their "elites" and they deserve to not have to smell their own stink...

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's billionaire 30-year-old, has purchased two large and adjacent parcels of land on Kauai's North Shore for about $100 million, according to a Forbes report. Same as Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) bought the five houses adjoining his in Palo Alto (in that area) for more privacy and security. Meanwhile he has been spending-contributing millions on AMNESTY-open borders TV advertizing

From http://realestate.aol.com/blog/2014/10/23/mark-zuckerberg-buys-hawaii-beach/

Zuckerberg reportedly bought Pila'a Beach, an almost 400-acre parcel including a white sand beach, and the adjacent Kahu'aina Plantation, a former sugarcane plantation. The plantation features 2,500 feet of oceanfront and a working organic farm, Forbes says. Zuckerberg apparently has a fancy for Hawaiian real estate. In January, 2013, Pacific Business News reported that Facebook's chairman and CEO "is buying" several units in a 23-story luxury condo under development in Honolulu.

And another article from http://mashable.com/2014/10/14/mark-zuckerberg-hawaii-property/

Taking a page out of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," Mark Zuckerberg spent $100 million on a chunk of land in Hawaii. The 30-year-old Facebook founder recently purchased 700 acres of property on the North Shore of the island of Kauai, according to a Forbes report. See also: Mark Zuckerberg vs. an Average 30-Year-Old Man The purchase is among his first high-profile investments. Despite being one of the world's youngest billionaires, Zuckerberg, whose net worth is around $30 billion, has kept a relatively low profile. Known for his willingness to make bold business acquisitions, Zuckerberg bought two adjacent properties: Pila'a Beach and Kahu'aina Plantation. He is also reportedly buying smaller plots in the area in an attempt to create a private residence.

“They” probably love “hole”foods but the mere thought that some sub standard millionaires might also come in to “their” area to shop there is probably the main concern. Riff raff in that area is folks whose wealth doesn’t top 10 million. Cheeky buggers. Ah, elitists. You can’t live with ‘em and you can’t live with ‘em.

Man, a beach chair and some popcorn and just sit back and have a good hearty laugh. Hey. Maybe bobby kennedy jr. would invite some to stay at his place. It’s not beach front but there’s a lot of yard for them to camp in plus a tree house. :>}

>>They won’t drive there; the servants will<<

Johnny Carson, Larry Hagman, Flip Wilson, Don Henley and quite a few other used to do their own shopping - I saw them all the time at the Hughes market.

But I think all but Henley are dead so what does that say...?

I think I got the wrong cottage — you are right, she has one on the cliffs.

More security than Fort Knox.
