Asheville is becoming known as "Beer Town", and is a must visit for beer afficionados. There's a nice winery at the Biltmore Estate also. Combine that with a trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway (non drinking of course) and you've got a nice fall trip... you're welcome!
That's awesome. I'm a Carolina boy by birth, Chapel Hill. I love Asheville! If you ever get a chance to get by the original Sierra Nevada brewery in Chico, it's a definite must. The beers are cold, the restaurant is gourmet and they have great music venue which features blues bands and some jazz.

Baja.
Yea they suck. Luckily my buddy is an optometrist and get glasses pretty cheap for the family. He, like most eye docs will not take Davis. They are only accepted at places like Wal-Mart etc. Those places are kinda the regionals of the optomatry world.

We used to stay near the Crabtree Mall, with easy access to the Greenway Trail system.

It's outrageous!
Utah ... like a whole State full of ... you just can't ....
