48 Hours in Asheville: The Perfect Itinerary
"Once on the northbound Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll soon encounter the Folk Art Museum (milepost 382). Stop to see a variety of handicrafts created by mountain people—some from necessity for household jobs, and others for sheer beauty. Travelers who revel in such creations could spend half a day here, while others will be satisfied with a quick look. In either case, leave your camera locked in the car."

Spending Two Perfect Days In Asheville
"Flights of bourbon are $15 for four half-ounce tastes — our favorites were the 107-proof Old Weller Antique and Prichard’s Double Barreled, both of which are excellent served over ice. After all that eating, walking and history absorbing over the weekend, it’s nice to take a little bit of time to slow down and breathe."

"The man who commissioned the job was Ed Grove himself, a self-made millionaire who had moved to Asheville only a few decades earlier. Upon opening, it became home to local shops and services such as candy stores, cigar shops, barbershops, beauty parlors, specialty grocers, and bookstalls. In World War II, the federal government took over the building and utilized it as part of the effort to win the war due to its size and remote location."
