Asheville

Aiken, SC to Asheville, NC. We stopped and mopped up a half dozen PO’s that we didn’t get to when we were in the Greenville area two weekends ago. Boy did we ever take the circular route to them too. We got turned around at the start in the search for the Furman Post Office and I’m not sure we knew where we were most of the time, but we still managed to get all of them.

We chose Asheville as a destination partially because we like the town and we also planned on attending a Tourists baseball game. When we got here we decided we didn’t want to go to the game after all. After the no attendance at Greenville we have come to the conclusion that we don’t know that we like attending minor league games anymore.

We ended up downtown to get dinner. There were two restaurants that we remembered from previous visits that we wanted to eat at. The choice would depend on the availability of parking near them. First up was Tupelo Honey. It is near a small park that seems to have been taken over by Asheville’s homeless population since our last visit. Fortunately there was no parking close to the restaurant, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable leaving the top down there for fear people would rifle through the interior like any other street side trash can. We had better luck at Doc Chey’s, a truck was just leaving from across the street and it freed up two primo parking spots.
