Asheville is such a cool city. I was walking down the street and I came upon this really cool wall. Asheville fits into the stereotype of Appalachia in a unique way. Appalachia doesn't exactly fit into the modern, mainstream culture. Asheville fits into that non-conforming mold. 

Asheville is also home to some pretty unique music. A lot of this music has roots in traditional "Appalachian" music, using instruments such as the banjo and mandolin. I associate this alternate art with the alternate music because they both call Asheville and the Appalachian mountains home. #appalachianechoes
A guilded age crafted Basilica in the inner city of Asheville, North Carolina. Stain glass windows were amazing and the Last Supper presentation are beyond words. This must be seen if visiting Asheville.

This hotel is in a prime location. Facilities are really nice. Staff is incredibly friendly. You can walk to everything Asheville has to offer. The rooms are pretty small, and I felt cold throughout the night as there is only a flat sheet and a very thin wool blanket for covers- no actual comforter. ...
