Best Part of North Carolina

Would that not be Boone for BR? Or hell, Lenoir is not that far.

TONS of olds there.

It's a small place. The appeal is the outdoors and those looking for small town living. But yeah. Lot of old folks there. But that's damn near everywhere around here

Highlands and Blowing Rock are the more posh destinations.

aka the ones to avoid

Good to know since I’m headed to Highlands this weekend.

Having grown up in far northwestern NC I voted Boone/Blowing Rock, but I really prefer Ashe County and the New River area in NC. Not as crowded or overdeveloped, at least yet. I have relatives that live in the Asheville area and it's also nice with great scenery, but it's getting pretty crowded. For urban areas I'd agree that the Triangle is best.

Ashe county is gorgeous and so much better for things to do than it was when I was growing up there....

Yeah it’s a real nice area. My grandparents lived out there for many years and grandmother is still there in a senior living facility. Have noticed a lot more stuff happening that way over the last several years going up there.

Well you haven’t been to West Jefferson now, have you ?

 

[IamThunderbolt]

a lot of people I work with live out that way and seem to like it. for me it's a bit isolated if you want to go into Asheville or Greenville for bigger city things. Hendersonville or Mills River would be better suited for that. but you can't beat Brevard's access to outdoor activities between Dupont, Pisgah, and the BRP.

I went to camp for a number of years right outside Brevard and loved it.

What camp?

 

[BarcaDeac]

What camp?

Carolina

Carolina

I went to/worked at Camp Greenville (Cedar Mountain on the border) for many years.

 

[BarcaDeac]

Highlands is probably pound for pound the poshest/wealthiest mountain town

You were right there!

the best place in NC is Sliding Rock

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

i know, but would have been coming/going from maggie valley

but close enough that I'm not sure

I’m watching a 2015 movie on Showtime called Oddball, with Sarah Snook from Secession, and she looks to have gained about 100 pounds since that movie.

So it’s gettin down to 33 degrees while I’m in HIghlands a few days from now, which seems pretty cold.

yeah we did a long weekend getaway to check it out for the first time in the spring, it was 70-80 the weekend before we got there, and then in the 30s a week later when we were there 🥶, felt like we got a raw deal there but still had a good time

 

[Biff Tannen]

I’ve been there plenty of times so it’s no like I’m put out over the cold snap, just a little surprised at how sudden it is. Great waterfall area though.

My dad’s business partner used to have a house in the Old Edwards Club and it was fucking insane. Entirely built out over a cliff and stunning views.
