Asheville - Part 3 the scene

We toured downtown Asheville and came away with the following impressions:
--Thanks to Robin and Paul!

• Feels a lot like Cambridge, but more interesting, more compact.
• The downtown area is mostly restaurants and small stores, not big bank buildings.
• TONS of music, in bars as well as on the street corners
• Lots of people milling about the downtown area
• The Friday night drum circle, in a park in the middle of town, is crazy
• It feels a lot like a hippy city
• Tons of breweries and brewpubs
• Most of the people in town were young.

Buskers were everywhere. Busker

The Grand Arcade -- an older building that was recently gentrified

 Sister Saurkraut is a fixture in town and a part of the Comedy City Tour
LaZoom  - likely coming to your town soon.

These two buskers were live statues - drop a $1 in the white guys bucket and he started to play -- like a jukebox - donate to the indian looking lady and she curtsies.
