I love the United States more than any country in the world. I have been in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. Sacramento , San José, San Francisco, CA. Carson city and Reno, Nevada. Miami, Forth Lauderdale, FL. The most that I love are it neighbods and cars, people and flag. I really worship and adore all from there.
I"m writing from 🇨🇱 Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica. 😍
I lived there from 95-2003 it is beautiful and a wonderful place
Thanks! Great video. Left 22 years ago.Spent a lot of time downtown when l lived there.
I first drove through here in '82 when it was a boarded-up ghost town. Hard to believe!
+MooPotPie Good perspective to hear! Revitalization seems to be a similar experience for a lot of downtowns in certain areas of the country. Interesting phenomenon!
hanz patinski, Jesus loves you but not like I love you. ;)
Would be so awesome to get to see a video drive-thru of that!
FANTASTICOS VIDEOS GRACIAS
I just happened upon this video by mistake. I'm from the Asheville area and work in a law office that's located on the opposite side of the traffic circle where you turned around. I'm seeing parts of Asheville that I don't see very often as I work all day and then drive to the other side of the county. Grew up here and a lot HAS changed - most of it for the better. Thanks again!
I bet your a great kisser of the same sex
stunning city ,, towndown
I would love to see you drive down Volusia Avenue in Daytona Beach, Florida
Beautiful
Es una bonita ciudad
😎👍🏻
nice tree-lined streets and rolling hills. look like an Appalachian town.
Don't let that fool you. I'ts a very liberal progressive town with a lot of rude people.
The place hasn't changed that much since my 2000 depaerure.
Seems like a nice place to live. Just the right size. Also the Biltmore is near by.
Is it often so cloudy?
have you visited chattanooga yet, awesome downtown
Isnt chattanooga ghetto?
i try To move To NC witch city you sugest me cary . ashevile or raleigh Thank you in advance
Raleigh most definitely. Better and Bigger city/job market. Either Raleigh-Durham or Charlotte. Can't go wrong in Greensboro either. Good luck

:)
I'll be there Monday 1/29/18
How was it? I will be there in May.
Robbie Hernandez. Well, I only had 25 hours and arrived Tuesday evening due to spending 3 days moving someone from Boston. Craigslist rideshare, big waste of time. My daughtet and grandkids live there and were sick so we stayed in.
Robbie Hernandez Planned my next trip today for April 1st.
what about Job opportunities in this city?
Good question - Anyone have any input?
I live in Asheville- it's a popular tourist destination so naturally there are many bars and restaurants to work at. Additionally, there are a lot of opportunities in banking or healthcare in the area. There is also a fair amount of engineering opportunities.
Lots of $7.50 an hour jobs. Not much else.
Servant jobs aren't jobs, so jo ,there are no jobs , better have a pension and savings. Oh I forgot, the last generation that had savings is dying now. Think about it
Lived in the Asheville area for 2 yrs and u have to hav good credit, u have to know someone just to get hired and if your not a gay liberal it wont help
Hello
와 씹...노쓰 코리아 이건 못참지
Asheville is not what it use to be. To much traffic, low paying jobs, high taxes and no such thing as affordable housing actually to some of us locals, its paradise lost.
Looks nothing special. Kinda looks like a ghetto
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone
For michael,
Tell me how you feel?
Also, she seems enraged right now. She no longer allows you to talk to me?
Hey It's Michael. Please, in the name of god, PM me for further details on my current situation!

Asheville is very liberal. Lots of witchcraft and communists. Reminds me a bit of Charlottesville, only bigger. Beautiful area, but I didn't get a good vibe from the city.
Asheville's a joke. The cityscape is ruined by cell phone towers and they're building a huge ugly power station when you come into town. It has one of the highest crime rates in the country per 1000 residents, a very low wage scale and a very high cost of living. Everything from groceries to gasoline is higher here and housing is unaffordable for the working class.

Racism has a history in this place, and I know it still does looks cozy.
