Visitor's Guide
is nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Great Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina. Asheville boasts pleasant year-round weather and serves as the county seat of Buncombe County. The city has a population of approximately 75,000 and is the largest city in Western North Carolina, the ninth largest city in the State. Asheville is also part of the four-county Asheville metropolitan statistical area, the population of which was estimated by the Census Bureau in 2006 to be 398,009.
Asheville has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Year-round, the average relative humidity in the morning is 90% and in the afternoon is 58%. Summers are mild and afternoon thunderstorms are not uncommon. In the fall (peaking in October), the area is very popular with "leaf lookers", people who visit Asheville and the surrounding mountains to see the area's splendid foliage. Winters are generally mild and major snow storms are rare- usually the area receives multiple snow flurries averaging an inch or two at a time, normally melting off in a day or two.

Asheville is nationally renowned for its unique architecture, especially downtown and around the Biltmore Estate. The city suffered greatly during the Great Depression, and consequently little development happened during the time. This actually had a positive effect, as the city's famous Art Deco Architecture of the Roaring 20's was saved from destruction. Therefore, today, Asheville boasts the nation's most complete collection of Art Deco structures. Other architectural styles, of course, are present in abundance throughout the city; from the Neo-Gothic Jackson Building "Skyscraper" to the Modern BB&T Tower.

Asheville does not necessarily have a specific commercial district but rather it resembles a long line, curving through the mountains. Beginning directly west of downtown,
Merrimon Avenue
has many low density restaurants and small shopping strip malls. It is the typical American shopping street and many locals consider it "The Strip." As you move east towards the city-center, the modern Merrimon Avenue merges with
Patton Avenue
(which is considered the city's 'Main Street'), forming an immediate contrast between the old and the new. Patton Avenue then directly cuts through the center of downtown, ending at the city's heart, Pack Square, home to the Vance Monument, located directly in front of City-County Plaza.
Surrounding this area,
, you will find many boutiques, cafes, museums, and interesting historical buildings. At the eastern end of downtown, a tunnel is carved directly into Sunset Mountain. The recently renovated street leading out of downtown and into the mountain goes into the edifice as
College Street
and comes out as Asheville's most celebrated shopping street,
Tunnel Road
Tunnel Road is very commercial and hosts mostly large corporate chains. Recently, construction has boomed along this stretch, and reaching towards the skies above the restaurants and stores you will see some brand new hotels. Finally, Tunnel Road transitions into
South Tunnel Road
, which is home to the city's main mall and smaller chain shopping centers. This area of town is not at all touristy, and prices are average and intended for locals.
At the end of South Tunnel Road there is a vast shopping center that extends across the Swannanoa River and up over the mountain, eventually overlooking the Industrial district, containing a relatively new and quite controversial shopping complex along the river, having the city's Super Walmart as its flagstore. It was built upon the rubble of the abandoned Sayles-Biltmore Bleachery, which used to bleach paper for the US Treasury's currency manufacture.
Asheville is full of neat and quirky shops and prides itself on the lack of corporate chain stores. Spend some time exploring downtown (it's very walkable) and see what you can find. Here are some highlights:
The Grove Arcade. A newly-restored and exquisite building built by E.W. Grove, who also designed the Grove Park Inn in the 1920s. It is filled with specialty food markets, restaurants, and local mountain craft stores.
Malaprop's Bookstore & Cafe, 55 Haywood St. An independent bookstore with a good selection and an open mind. Great staff recommendations. Grab a book or bring your own and relax in the cafe with coffee and a sandwich.
Mast General Store, 15 Biltmore Ave. Has an old-fashioned to modern day assortment of products. Old-time candy in barrels to hiking and camping equipment and apparel.
Lexington Avenue
is one of Asheville's hippest streets. For your music needs visit
Static Age Records
, specializing in vinyl, punk rock and heavy metal.
Instant Karma
and the
Octopus Garden
specialize in smoking accessories along with a wide variety of other products.
Hip Replacements
has some great vintage clothing, while up the block
offers a wide variety of sustainably produced clothing. Buy a used book or read the newspaper or a magazine at
Downtown Books and News
. Get a tattoo at
Liquid Dragon
, and stop by one of the many restaurants on Lexington for a quick bite. On the next block up is the
Chevron Trading Post
for all of your beading needs, and
Tops for Shoes
, the biggest shoe store in Asheville. While many wonderful stores and hot spots along this street are facing increasing pressure from landlords who want to "gentrify" the area, Lexington is still the best place to get a taste of Asheville's counterculture.
Biltmore Village
Just South of Asheville's downtown, and right outside the gates of the Biltmore Estate is the quaint village built around the 1890's called Biltmore Village. It is easily accessed from I-40 (Exit 50). A number of small independently owned retail stores which have carved out specialty niches can be found intermingled with restaurants beneath the shade of the tree-lined streets. Recently, National Specialty stores and a boutique Hotel have begun construction there. Of particular note are the following:
New Morning Gallery. Probably the best collection of regional Arts and Crafts in Western North Carolina. The gallery features ceramics, glass, jewelery and furniture from local Appalachian artisans. It is located in front of Bella Vista Art Gallery
River Arts District
Wrapped along the river, and visible from the bridge over the French Broad River (i.e. from I-240 or Patton Ave.) is an enclave of Art Studios, Galleries, and restaurants that is still not quite user-friendly but accessible to the adventurous. Some worthy points of interest are:
The Old Cotton Mill Building
Owned by Marty and Eileen Black and inhabited by a mixed group of artists and studios.
The Phil Mechanic Building
Cutting edge Galleries, artists and a Bio-diesel plant can be found if you wander around inside the old building. Jolene Mechanic, the owner, is a great resource for getting to know the area.
240 Clingman
This was originally a warehouse. Right after the Katrina Hurricane it was turned into a gallery by the owners of Bella Vista Art Gallery. After they left, Jonas Gerard, from Miami, took over the space. He was featured on 20/20 and has some eye-popping art on display, and for sale.
The Wedge
Filled with little art galleries, artists, a brewery, fine porcelain and mechanical dinosaurs is interesting but not for the timid.
Head away from downtown and visit the
WNC Farmer's Market
for a huge selection of locally grown and produced crops 'n' crafts. You could spend hours and still not see everything.

Liquor is available by the drink in Asheville, but if you want to buy liquor by the bottle you must do it at state-run ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) stores rather than at a traditional liquor store. If you plan to explore nearby counties keep in mind Madison County (to the north) and Yancey County (to the northwest) are "dry counties" and prohibit all alcoholic beverage sales. Open containers of alcohol are never permitted on the street; if you order a beverage you must finish it before leaving the restaurant or bar. Beer and wine are available for purchase at most markets, grocery stores and gas stations. The alcohol laws of the state prohibit the sale of alcohol after 2AM Monday through Saturday, and from 2AM until noon on Sundays.

Associated Press
The Associated Press is the essential global news network, delivering accurate, insightful news from every corner of the world, 24 hours a day. Since its founding in 1846, AP has been the first to report many of history's most important moments, and every day, AP journalists, photographers and videographers file news from the front lines of the world's biggest stories.
AP's reporting, photography, audio and video are published and broadcast by the world's leading newspapers, TV channels, apps, radio stations, websites and magazines—in fact, over half the world's population sees AP news content on any given day.
As a leader in the field of journalism, AP fights for freedom of the press and the public's right to know. Its reporters take great risks to file in-depth stories from countries where the press is otherwise restrained, and in the U.S., AP aggressively uses the Freedom of Information Act to advocate for transparency and accountability in government.
With more experience reporting and delivering news than any other agency, a well-earned reputation for independence and accuracy, and a fierce commitment to the people's right to know, AP is the definitive source for trusted news.

Pick it up, and you'll marvel. Flex it, and you'll be astounded. The truWALKzero World Tour Cooper is one of the lightest shoes we've ever made, without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. We've taken out every unnecessary element to engineer the airiest shoes imaginable.
- ADIPRENE® by adidas shock-absorbent cushioning protects the heel at impact
- Rubber outsole helps provide a durable grip on a variety of surfaces
- Padded collar and tongue for comfort
- Moisture absorbent Polyurethane foot bed helps provide durable cushioning
Highly shock-absorbent cushioning protects the heel at impact
Architecture provides a natural full range of foot motion, from shock absorption at heel strike to forefoot flexibility at push off
truWALK World Tour Cooper is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LordP from Excellent I first bought these shoes at a place in NYC called Tip Top Shoes and I loved them so much that I wore them to death. When I went back to Tip Top for another pair they no longer had this model. Fortunately Rockport had them online and I was able to buy two pairs. I love these shoes so much that I'm planning on getting two more for a total of four pairs. It did help that I was able to try them in person. I am always leery of buying any article of clothing online, especially shoes, fortunately Rockport has this nice customer rating system that I'm hoping will help with correct sizing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bruce from Comfortable and supportive from the first try on Normally I would wear a new pair of sneakers in slowly. These were comfortable from the first. I tend to wear out the outsides of my shoes first and this is the first pair I tried where I felt I was being supported on the outsides of my feet.
Date published: 2012-02-24
Rated 3 out of 5 by MikeS from They don't make them like they used to. The toe box is noticeably smaller than a previously purchased same model. The sole material is also noticeably firmer sacrificing even more comfort. Why Rockport decided to change a winner is beyond me.
Date published: 2012-11-28
Rated 3 out of 5 by Andy from Not a good fit for me I ordered the wide and it wasn't a generous wide. The shoe was lightweight and a good quality leather. I had to return them however as the it seems like they were designed to be some type of corrective shoe. The sole, when viewed from the back of the shoe, seems to be the shape of a wedge with the thicker edge on the outside of the heel. It results in a sensation of rolling inward with each step, especially on stairs. I've never had that issue with the other 4 pairs of Rockports I've owned. Another reviewer liked that outside support. It's not for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg from Wonderful shoe I picked this pair for that middle ground between casual and dressy -- and it serves that purpose well. I can wear these in my classroom, at church, to the theater, or just out and about without them seeming out of place.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MedDoc from TruWalk World Tour Cooper-internet clearance Bought these shoes on clearance 1 mo. ago and love them. PROBLEM: Shoes I received were worn already,laced up and had scuffs in various places and the soles showed usage, ie. small gravel stuck in tread areas-definitely NOT NEW! Advertised as new NOT used. If I wanted used shoes I would go to e-bay and pay the less for same product! Terrible way to do business (or terrible employee)
Date published: 2013-12-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by nickname from Very satisfied I had been recently having trouble finding comfortable shoes (old sizes were no longer comfortable), so I had to look at different sizing. These shoes were available at a good price, making them worth trying, and I am very satisfied with the price, appearance, and fit, but especially the comfort level. I would recommend them.

Ledge Hill Wingtip is rated out of 5 by 50.
Rated 5 out of 5 by slick55 from My goodness - these are comfortable This is the third pair of Ledge Hill shoes that I've bought in the last 6 months and I wear each regularly. I have two pair of wingtips that I rotate for work and one saddle that draws admiring comments, trust me. This latest pair is the tan wingtips. The leather on my pair is a little less "pebbled" than the photo but that's a very minor quibble. They are extremely light, flexible, and simply comfortable from the first wear. After a half-dozen wears, the leather uppers become even more flexible. I have no criticism whatsoever except that they are becoming hard to find. That's why I bought three different pairs - I'm worried that I won't be able to replace them in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by M5speed8851 from Typical Rockport Purchase For Me Rockports are the most comfortable shoes I own. I choose a style I like of course, starting with the category such as casual or dress, and then pick the style itself. But I wouldn't even consider keeping them if they weren't comfortable. I've bought 5-6 pairs online within the last several months, and they're all perfect. They're light, comfortable and look great. I already have a few other pairs I'd bought in a Rockport store, and in a department store. I obviously keep coming back for more, and recommend them all the time. They are just great shoes all around, and last me literally years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NYC commuter from They ain't sexy, but... The rare case when comfort truly trumps style; not that they're unattractive, but there is an "old man" aspect according to my girlfriend (which I get). However, they are, far and away, the most comfortable dress shoes I've worn, which is why I wear them to the office every day. I have very wide feet and walk a lot for my commute and while I'm at work, so having an extra wide option was a huge factor in my decision to purchase these. The only major con is that the color scuffs off immediately, and I mean immediately. After the first day of wearing them, it looked like I'd taken a highlighter marker to the toes and heels. The good news is that they look even better after a proper shoe shining than out of the box, so my hope is that they'll continue to age gracefully.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 49014port from Excellent shoe, go casual or formal This is a great shoe. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. I have worn it with jeans, khakis , and when in a suit and tie. Many compliments on the look from others. I have always worn this brand for its look and comfort, and this shoe meets all the criteria.

Rated 5 out of 5 by plexirexi from 3rd time's a charm this is my 3rd pair of rockports. i looked high and low for a great looking pair of wingtips. i'm retired and my wardrobe consists of 21 pairs of jeans and about 50 or so casual shirts. i wanted a pair of wingtips that looked good with my wardrobe. everything i saw was either too dressy or too far out looking for me. these were PERFECT. they look good and they fit good. just like my other 2 pairs. i don't really care for much of what rockport shows but sometimes they come out with a winner. these are winners. (if you shop around you can find them for alot less than $135)

Rated 5 out of 5 by IronMike from Perfect casual work shoe I love this shoe. Very comfortable and stylish casual work shoe. I can wear them in nice khakis or jeans. The heel inners are comfy and the soles are cushy. This is my fourth pair of Rockports. I'm currently trying to come up with a reason to buy another pair...a reason that I can "sell" to the wife, that is!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Notsochi from Very Comfortable and Versatile!!! I was looking for a comfortable casual shoe I could wear daily at work. These are by far the most comfortable business casual shoes I have. Many compliments when I wear them and they pair up with jeans very nicely.
Date published: 2015-01-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by c53204 from 1st pair - will buy more Thought about buying Rockport for a while, but never managed to see a pair in my size that I 'wanted'. Was out shopping for a pair of formal/casual brogues (boot or shoe) with a maximum price of $400. Could not find anything that 'took my fancy'. I had just about given up when my wife spotted these. Tried them on and wow! Comfortable, smart enough for semi formal. Comfortable enough for everyday wear. I walk a lot and like to carry as few pairs of shoes when travelling - these will be ideal. Fit is true to size and I got the wide fit.

On Tueday's episode of General Hospital, while trying to protect Ava from a bullet from the evil Valentin Cassadine, it's Nikolas who gets shot instead and sent crashing through the window, and over a balcony on Cassadine Island apparently to his death. This storyline move signals the end of the short-term run of Nick Stabile, who was filling in for Tyler Christopher in the role while the Daytime Emmy-winning actor was on personal leave from the series. Watch the cliffhanger below. Then share your thoughts on Stabile's run as Nik, and what will be the fate of the dark prince in the weeks to come? Leave a comment »

Product Description
Yet another variation of the Trick Bolt #1, this new design is also made from solid brass and looks just like the real thing. Can you remove the ring by finding out how to take the nut from the bolt? If you solved the previous version, it won't help you in solving this one, since both mechanisms are completely different. This one is in fact a bit easier, but don't let that fool you, as you might be in for a surprise. Produced by our own brand PuzzleMaster.

I attended some cycling type classes at a gym in Hilo, HI when I was on vacation, and when I chatted with the instructors afterwards, they told me that basically, they team taught (with 2 instructors) most all of their cycling classes.
At my current club now, we often team teach (not spinning) other group ex classes as we find it a fun way to have camraderie on stage, and also, you've got someone to catch you if that choreography you've got mapped out just falls victim to brain freeze. In the group ex type classes (this is an MMA styled workout), I adore team teaching because it allows for the showmanship of a team...but I have never been a part of that in Spinning more than a couple of times.
I was wondering about folks' experience in team teaching for spinning....how are songs broken up, do you like it as an instructor--or as a participant--and if you do it, what type of prep work goes into it? I found that the couple of times I team taught with my friend, I was more just keeping him company up front, versus teaching specific tracks; in the group ex class when I team teach, I actually step forward on stage to teach a part of the class while shadowing other times.
Most curious though, how do participants feel on this one? Yay or nay and why?

Make sure that you understand the target audience and i dentify the social media they prefer. In Indonesia, the total internet user reach 23,% out of the total population and mostly are young people, 15-19 years old.Recently, we have seen the growth of Twitter users . This is an opportunity for librarians to a good opportunity for librarian to reach more audience
Siri Anderson's curator insight, January 26, 2014 2:20 PM
I find it interesting to note parallels and contrasts between use of social networks in f2f environments and online environments. In some instances the online version works better for those who flounder in person. In some cases people who love the real world interactions disparage the online ones. But for most of us, there seems to be a parallel in our patterns and style it would seem. Where should children "learn" how to do this, or is that lesson beside the point at this time?

I selected this article by Andrew Osegi for Kunocreativ because it addresses a topic that every social media marketer should be concerned about.
He asks a very important question:
"How do we give value to the fleeting micro engagements that make up social media interaction?"
Some insights to get you thinking and leveraging your messages and conversations online.
Here are a few highlights:
Your social strategy must reflect, and adhere to, the measurable data produced when posting. This data will direct how you conduct future social media campaigns - where ROI really matters. More on that in this article.
He refers to social capital - In an article by Rig Dragon, social capital is difficult to predict and measure, but most definitely applicable in social media. Social media, like advertising, creates unseen impressions too important to ignore. - Good insights here!
Think of your social media efforts as a transaction of energy. Reciprocal conversation, online or in person, is rewarding to all parties involved.

Stephen Dale's curator insight, January 13, 2014 5:58 AM
People who use Google are given the impression that they are interacting with the data out there, but they are actually interacting with Google and its view of the world.
"They are prediction engines that constantly refine a theory about who you are and what you are going to do or want next. Together, they create an universe of data for each one of us."
Or in other words, is our acceptance of what we see in search results eroding our ability (or willingness) to consider alternatives and employ critical thinking?
Lucy Beaton's curator insight, January 16, 2014 8:21 PM
This is alarming. We, as Teacher Librarians, need to be aware of the ramifications of this.
Mrs. Dilling's curator insight, February 13, 2014 11:52 AM
My favorite statement, "we must always be aware and well informed about the intentions of companies, and never stop having multiple options for any service."
This article was an eye opener for me. I had never questioned Google before.

Essay — From the January 2013 issue
Why we still fear vaccines
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

This is a Guest Post by Lindee Katdare.
Spinning® has absolutely changed my life. I have always been a healthy person that moderately exercised. I considered my body type to be "pear" for years. I just thought that was the way I was built! Almost a year after the birth of my daughter, we went to Philadelphia for a weekend. I was absolutely appalled when I saw myself bouncing past the mirrored buildings. Could not believe that fat mom was me! I vowed to make a change the minute we returned to Virginia Beach. That is when I started "Spinning®". I went to a spin certified "YMCA" and committed to the classes. I started in August and my goal was to be down 15 lbs by my daughter's birthday on October 21st. I have always been a healthy eater, lots of fruits, veggies, no processed foods, etc. However, I had no idea how many calories I was eating or how many I should be for my frame. I started paying attention to what I ate and religiously attended my spin classes. By October 21st, I had lost 25lbs!! I was smaller than I had ever been and loved my new found sport. I was working as a pharmaceutical sales rep and had long days. I love spinning so much, I was getting up at 5:30 am to attend a 6 am class before work. I could not miss "Spinning®".
That was four years ago. I have been an avid spin cycler for four years now. I have been wearing a size 0-2 for the last 4 years. I had another son 17 months ago and continued cycling throughout my pregnancy. I was back in my 0-2 size clothes 6 weeks after my c-section due to being fit throughout the pregnancy. My doctor said I was the ideal pregnancy patient. At this time, we were living in Acworth, GA. This YMCA did not take infants until they were 6 months old, but they did allow you to work out with them in "safe" zones. Fortunately for me, they had the spin bikes with the video workouts. Just like the DVD's you sell online. Again, hooked. I loved that I did not have to coordinate with a babysitter, nursing schedule, full classes, etc. to take a class. I did the spin bikes with the videos the rest of my time in Georgia.
We are now in North Chicago, IL and I am still spinning. On March 22nd, I attended the "Spinning® Instructor Course" offered by Madd Dogg Athletics during the "Empower Fusion Expo." My instructor, Raquel Rezara, was excellent. She managed to cover everything and answer every question. We discussed safety, music, heart rates, healthy lifestyles, etc. Then she physically showed us on the bike to insure our comfort and knowledge. She made sure we were confident and well informed, so we can teach our students and encourage them to continue spinning. When a class is taught properly, your students will want to come back for more. There is nothing like a good spinning class!
After my instructor course, I stayed for the "Ride to Kona" with Scott Schlesinger. It was incredible! I started the class feeling tired from the long training day. I filled my water bottle and reset my bike for the class. Slowly the room filled with a variety of spin enthusiasts. I looked around the room and saw a lady that I had met earlier that day. She had recently lost 125 lbs.-thanks to spinning! I saw several triathletes, some outdoor cyclists, instructors, and many others. Scott dimmed the lights and started the class. He had two huge screens set up with visions of Kona Island. He told us about the journey we were about to take alongside the renowned "Iron Man" competition. He skillfully put us into the mindset of a competitor. The music, the coaching, the visuals allowed my exhaustion from the day to be long gone and before I knew it, I was coming up to the finish line. I was drenched in sweat, draining my water bottle and feeling exhilarated. I looked around the room at this assortment of equally invigorated people and felt satisfied. I was proud of my hard work and how far I had come on my fitness journey. I also realized I was capable of so much more. Iron Man? Maybe in the future, but for now, I am going to focus on being a phenomenal "Spinning®" instructor. I will encourage, excite and drive people the way this sport has driven me. Thank you so much for an unbelievable day and for the fabulous "Spinning®" program. It is literally life changing!
