If that conjures up images of the classic vanilla-between-chocolate wafers version, think again. Sweets chef Susie Pearson and her staff bake fresh, fat cookies in house and sandwich some fascinating ice cream flavors in the middle."

"If you’re looking for a taste of downtown Hendersonville history, just head to the McFarlan Bakery, a Main Street staple since 1930. Originally owned by Earl McFarlan, the business was bought by the father of current co-owner Michael Cole in 1952 (the year Michael was born).

From the eye-catching can art to the rusted farm equipment adorning the South Slope District taproom’s walls, Burial appears to have a spiritual connection with the metalheads at TRVE Brewing Co. in Denver.

"A multi-use trail system is nearly complete at Richmond Hill Park, on hills overlooking a bend of the French Broad River northwest of town. This has been a great way to show that the city serious about its plans for multi-use trails on city land.
