the drive between cherokee and maggie valley is littered with awesome signs. 

it's as if time stopped in 1981.

$10 bottles of wine!

homegrown restaurant on merrimon in asheville is great. the food is great. the folk art for sale on the wall is great. 

the greatest thing is monday is $10 bottle of wine day.

a glass of wine costs you $6, but on monday for $10 you can get the whole bottle. what a steal! 

you can walk away stuffed with 2 delicious dinners and a bottle of wine for under $30.

if you want the uptown girl painting, however, that will run you $25.

no more living in her white bread world.
