Neighborhoods
From Our State Magazine:
"It takes less than 15 minutes to walk the entire River Arts District from end to end.
It’s only a mile by a half-mile. Yet, within this small area comprising 18 buildings, more than 165 artists and crafters are at work.
There are potters and painters here. Sculptors and blacksmiths. Weavers and dyers. Glassblowers and furniture makers. Nearly everything you see here is handmade on site.
In the 1980s, the old, industrial area around the French Broad River in Asheville attracted artists seeking low rents and large, open spaces. The former textile mills were ideal locations. These artists began to transform the historic structures into working studios and showrooms. Now, more than a century after the first textile factory was built, the area is in the bloom of another crafting renaissance."

Music Scene
One Thursday a month, the Mothlight host the Moth Stories as heard on NPR (https://themoth.org/stories). Hear true stories told live by some of the best local storytellers.
From the Mothlight's site:
"The Moth is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story – and The Moth’s directors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it.
Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.
Moth shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the shows dance between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.
Moth stories dissolve socio-economic barriers, expose vulnerabilities, and quietly suggest ways to overcome challenges and see with new eyes."

旅行者建议
出行
If you're renting a car, get a 4WD or AWD
These mountain roads are winding! Even if you plan to stay mostly in the city, some of theses neighborhoods have narrow and winding roads. Our driveway is kind of steep and even if you decide to stay at another AirBnB, their driveway is likely going to have a little bit of a grade as well.
省钱小贴士
Uber/Lyft to get around town
Parking in downtown Asheville can be a challenge and little costly. Plus, most places within Asheville are at most 20 minutes from each other. Folks can usually Uber/Lyft from our place to downtown Asheville or hip West Asheville for about $10.
