Grove Park Inn still there, still glamourous and offering great restaurant overlooking the mountains and great spa with packages and great massages. Blue Ridge Parkway just at edge of Asheville area and its scenic drive gives lots of opportunities to see grand vistas and great photo ops. Plus the Pisgah Inn and restaurant on the parkway has great food and the usual great scenery. Asheville has more than its share of Berkeley CA wannabes but mostly they stick to hemp and liberal fad du jour, so you can observe the species without disturbance.
