I live 12 miles from Asheville. I go to Greenville S.C.{50 miles) to avoid the freak show.The shame is that there is a sizable sector of the population that is very traditional, perhaps a majority. Asheville is the queen city of the south.

"Asheville is the queen city of the south."Asheville might be the First Runnerup, but I think Savannah gets the tiara.

Asheville is the queen city of the south. Charlotte is the actual, honest-to-goodness "Queen City" -- we just call it the QC and avoid the extra connotations altogether.

My Grandfather and I passed through Asheville on a road trip recently (we had been to Greenville where he grew up, then decided to eat lunch at that famous giant ritzy resort hotel on the hillside in Asheville). We circled the downtown area two or three times watching the freaks. It was quite a show. Many openly gay couples, lots of artsy bohemian types. Asheville is jarringly out-of-sync with the rest of the region. It truly seems transplanted -- like it was scooped up from California and airlifted into the Appalachians. It's like a left-wing Shangri-La.
