Can anybody speak about their experiences with Asheville, NC? I know somebody mentioned it briefly in here but didn't have much to say about it.
I passed through the place while helping move a friend from Chicago to Greenville, SC and liked what I saw. Kind of struck me as a sort of strange cross between a bohemian artsy town and a retirement community though, which is a weird combo.
The wife and I are looking for a "middle ground" between her family in Alabama and mine in DC and Asheville seemed like a good in-between spot. Like so many others in this thread I love Chicago, but 8 winters here has been enough to wear my wife down to the point where she wants to live somewhere warmer.
Alabama is NOT an option for me and I think she understands that.
