(West) Asheville resident here - I'll throw a couple more ideas out for anyone visiting: La Zoom Comedy Bus Tour - it's a fun trip around the city (about an hour I think) with a comedic tour guide, along with special guest performers along the way... and in the Grove Arcade, Battery Park Book Exchange is a unique place for coffee/dessert or a glass of champagne - you're surrounded by shelves and shelves of used books, most hardcover - and all for sale. Enjoy!
I have lived in the area over 15 years. It is a great city. All cities have issues Asheville is no different. I still live it here. Great people great food and fun areas to visit. Grove park inn has a great Sunday brunch. It is like $50 a person but well worth it.
The Grove Arcade IS beautiful! Though it's been several years since my visit, I have fond memories. I live in California, but have relatives in Asheville.
@GamingRailfan Thank you for your comment. One of my friends has been living there all his life and recently told about the artists who are known to flock there. Very best wishes, in advance, re relocating to your new home! Andrea S.
Why are people complaining about the homeless? it's normal now a days for any city in the US. I mean even in cold cities like, NY ciry, Chicago and small nice cities like Madison WI have lots of homeless people, I think it's something you have to learn live with unless someone does something to end it.
Agree100%. With the way things are, this problem seems to be a given in a city of any size. Let's keep perspective. There's a lot in Asheville to balance this out.
Just got back from Asheville but only had one day there and I spent the whole day at the Biltmore, which was fabulous! I really wanted to explore Asheville but didn't have the time. I hope to come back one day and see more. The pinball museum looks like a lot of fun and I love all of the architecture!
I have lived in Asheville for 20 years and I still love it. Watching this video made me think of many great memories I have from each of those locations. I live just 2 miles from the Biltmore and keep up a yearly pass to it. My kids love to run around on the grounds and have picnics there. I enjoyed all your footage, really well put together video.
So sad you missed the thriving drag culture in Asheville. From Banks Avenue to Scandals Nightclub to O'henrys and to the ODD there is ALWAYS a show to catch on the weekends
Yep - still in Appalachia. They're everywhere out here. Folks think it's bad in the city; man, they're just wandering in from out here. Every fifth domicile in rural America is a drug den.
Great video! Loved the drone footage theme. I have lived here for over 20 years. Picked up guitar building and photography in the last 10 year and love the natural beauty that surrounds Asheville. One of my favorite place is the N.C. ARBORETUM. Check it out next time you’re in town. Thanks for putting this together. Will definitely follow you on other town journeys. Cheers
Sure, yeah, Asheville is a gorgeous town, however, the only people who are living there are either really really rich or really really homeless. It's super easy to peg any and all homeless people as drug addicts without spending any quality time with one of them. The main problem with Asheville is all of the land speculators and developers. That's where the real money is coming from, not tourism.
I moved here in 2014 and am neither even halfway rich nor any part homeless. I don't work in the service industry, however, and I DO think the area is becoming overpriced for many of those who do - which is a shame since they help make the city as friendly and welcoming as it is.

I'm gonna throw an appleatcha for pronouncing it wrong.
As an Asheville native, this is a pretty great list 👌
The omni grove park inn has cool gingerbread house designs from Barbie to Star Wars to harry potter to marvel to DC and many more

I'm sorry.

So sorry that this beautiful little town has reportedly been destroyed by Hurricane Helene. Prayers for the community's recovery.✝️🕊️

I’ve lived here for a few years. Working a lot has kept me from going out and exploring the town I live in, thank you for this!
I like how this was put together. I need to take tips from this.
i live here, as much as i love AVL the homeless problem has absolutely ruined it for me. too much crime and drugs now. its so sad.
We have a moratorium on MAN BUNS. Sorry BROS.
Awesome video Tony!

Modern asheville is a heap of dung
Apple at cha.
Good job on video but I have been there, no place to park Unless you pay pay pay. and I could take it or leave. it.
Try to get into Marion during the Sasquatch festival next year; you'll have an absolute blast!
Man, I miss Asheville in the '90s! -) I live in Charleston now, so looking forward to that one!
Great video! Love the drone shots!
You always do an excellent job !!!!❤️

funny i've lived in Avl for 14 years and have never heard of the Asheville museum of history lol
Love the drone footage ❤️
Jamar Woods is an excellent musician! He used to be a member of funky band, The Fritz! Great to see him in your video!
He was awesome, and really nice!
@@buildthedream77 I should check what I type, lol.
Hey handsome
Chattanooga is so much cooler
Asheville is for yuppies now.
Not sure about Chattanooga, but 100% sure Asheville is for the yuppies and beer bros now.
For Ironland!
I lived there once. Beautiful city but lots of homeless drug addicts that ask you for money and cigarettes a lot.
Yep - still in Appalachia.
They're everywhere out here. Folks think it's bad in the city; man, they're just wandering in from out here. Every fifth domicile in rural America is a drug den.
Yeah, I've lived here my whole life, it's not that great, unless you're rich.
Try living in Baltimore. Asheville is a walk in the park
@@RealCaptainJaws its like a zombie outbreak
What is being "rich" means to you, @@BOONE9132010?
Don’t forget about the foundation/skate and graffiti park down by River road!
App-a-LATCH-in 😮
It's both moron
bru
the tourist go to downtown Asheville and the locals go to West Asheville on Haywood road. Also check out level 42 next time
I'm surprised you didn't get arrested for all the drone footage lmao
They should change the name of the city to TrAsheville!
I was born and raised in Asheville. My has it changed!
Same Here And It Definitely Has Changed A Lot With The Insane Things Happening
I used to live there, it changed and priced me out, I left.
Great video! Loved the drone footage theme. I have lived here for over 20 years. Picked up guitar building and photography in the last 10 year and love the natural beauty that surrounds Asheville.

I actually did go there and I unfortunately lost the footage from it. It was awesome. There and within grove arcade I lost the footage somehow
Ironland is one of them
Outstanding video!
Great video.
Good video and drone shots!
FOR IRONLAND

You don’t have to be rich to live here just don’t be lazy and get a career I know plenty of 20 year olds with there own house 😂🤦♂️

Asheville looks like such a beautifully unique, super fun and artsy city with soooo much to do and see!! Love it! FANTASTIC job my Love!!! 😊💯
I can't wait to go back with my husband
