Michael Hope it's a 25 minute drive from the Grove Park. It's sleepier and a bit older but the hikes are lovely. If you're visiting, it's great for a few days.

Andrew Polich thank you so much sir. I so plan on visiting this little gorgeous town. That distance isn’t that bad and is probably a very scenic drive anyways.

What a lovely little sundown town. I bet there's no Mondays in that town.

All American towns should be this beautiful and colorful.. But what lesson would that be?

My brother has a black Smith shop on Padgettown Rd. He has been there 20 yes. He made the iron rocking chairs at the little park down town. His shop is right next to the tractor place?

Is this town a 55+ community? Is there anything for the younger crowd? Seems like it’s marketed towards the old folks.

Nice. Housing costs on Average? Any professional driving jobs: ie: CDL-A to come to "full-retirement" here? Want to get away from the snow....lower humidity...nice climate...like to ride 4-wheeling too. Can one "come to town" and buy a house for $200K...and get more than a "doll house?"

Blowing rock is better

@mountaincam3520

Blowing rock is really nice, but it is helpful to be a millionaire if you want to live there and it has been that way for about 90 years. During the 50's when I was a kid living in Charlotte many in the well healed class had their Summer "Cottages" in Blowing Rock.. It worked out well because the high elevation (about 2000 feet higher than Asheville) made it almost always cool in the Summer at a time when air conditioning was just starting to become a thing. Blowing Rock provided an elegant folksy Summer life style. I got to go along with a friend to the annual horse shows that were part of the regular Summer activities along with golf, dinning out and shopping at a variety of fancy and expensive art and gift shops. All that being said, I live in Black Mountain and wouldn't change that for anything. Unfortunately over the last 20 years it has become very expensive to buy a house here. Lately houses are selling within days or sometimes hours of going on the market.

@Kaizojen Of all the cities I've lived in Black Mountain is the least "racist". Come to Black Mountain walk around town, talk to people, see what you think. The Black candidate for town council in the November 2020 election received the highest number of votes of the people running for the 3 open seats and in fact he received the most votes ever cast for a board seat in the history of the town.

I've noticed there is only one (perhaps?) person in this entire video (which tries to emphasize it's "diverse" music scene) that is not white. Where are the People of Color?? Black? Indigenous? Latino? Anyone???
