| "View from the historic Grove Park Inn" |
This is quite an old hotel and is "THE" place to stay! For the history, click HERE. Most of these photos were taken from the trolley. We had a wonderful tour of the city.
 |
| "First Baptist Church" |
I think this is a Baptist Church - I always thought they were a little plainer - but this one is certainly a beauty.
 |
| "A Slice of Heaven!" |
A "Slice of Heaven" that will not be mine. I did show it to my husband, though. And this really wasn't the "bell of the ball" ... our neighbors would have been:
 |
| "Every man's home is his Castle" |
And ...
 |
| "Grand" |
I can't remember the story behind the above house, but I do know the tree on the right hand side was painted by a lady (who I think died in a fire). The painting of the tree now hangs, I believe, in the Smithsonian.
 |
| "Charming" |
 |
| "Reflection" |
I was on the wrong side of the trolley to get a photo of this building, but I think this is kind of neat.
 |
| "Sitting upon History" |
This is the oldest continuous running Woolworth Counter and we certainly enjoyed the Ice Cream Soda! I had NEVER had one before and it will NOT be my last!
 |
| "They do make them like they used to!" |
And one last stop...
 |
| "Chocolate Fetish!" |
I also purchased a blog friend's mystery books (Vickie Lane) at the BEST independent book store = Malaprops.
There is way too much to see in Asheville, NC and the surrounding area in just two days. We will be back.

That is one place I have never been and one I want to go. SOMEDAY! Especially now that I know there is a Woolworths there! I love the reflection photo.
Great photos, Margaret........thanks for sharing your experience.
A slice of heaven and charming would suit me fine, I will take them both!! wonderful tour again, thankyou
Ashville, NC, is definitely a beautiful place, Margaret. I know it best for the Biltmore Estate, which I have visited 3 times now. Have you ever seen it during the Christmas Candlelight tour? Ooh-la-la.
I can't imagine a bad visit to this place. Heaven on earth!
Ginnie, I hear the gingerbread houses at the Grove Park Inn are really something to see as well.
We were in Asheville this weekend. I saw the Baptist church and thought I need to get pictures and paint that church...the wind was blowing, there were snow flurries, and I was freezing! I will take the picture and paint the church in the spring! HA~
Torrie - It was cold? But then I'm a transplant from Northern Michigan. And a couple weeks can make a big difference. And I think I did see that it snowed up there... Feel free to use my photo to paint from if you like.
