      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.

    • @mountaincam3520
      @mountaincam3520 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

      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.
