    The idea of foraging for food ingredients and a restaurant making it is pretty impressive.

    I miss going to Asheville as a kid, my grandfather used to own a house up there in the mountains and my mom went to high school there. The first time I saw snow was up in Asheville so I guess u could say I have some fond memories of the place.

    That's awesome. I am going to have to visit there now. You should come to Delaware and check out some places. If you do please let me know! I'd love to hang out with you. There's a lot of places in West Virginia that you would enjoy I think. Look up Lindy Point, black water falls, Seneca Rocks.. basically that whole are of the state is a beautiful site-seeing adventure. Great videos. I watch them all the time in preparation for the purchase of my Mavic.

    I'm from Alabama and have been living in Florida a couple of years.
    My husband wants to move to Ashville NC and I am so scared.
    I'm scared I'll have a hard time finding a job other than waiting tables.I have no high shool diploma or college experience and no GED but in Florida and Alabama I can find good jobs other than waiting tables.I hope it will be the same here but it just looks like a small town with not many options for a drop out.
    Also I have no family in NC so I am worried of feeling empty and alone.
    I hope I will be happy in NC.

      If you like the country life,you will like Alabama.
      Cheap to live there too.
      Just avoid Prichard,Wilmer,and Theodore.
      Those cities are very dirty,trashy and drug filled.
      Drug deals around every corner of those towns.
      Satsuma,Saraland and Chickasaw are very small towns.
      I'd avoid Saraland as well because it's a bit trashy.
      Mobile and Birmingham are more clean and safe.
      Satsuma is safe and clean.Just very small and very little to do.
      The very very quiet country life is in Chunchula Al but very little to do there as well.People normally buy bigger pieces of land there to escape the city life and be to themselves.
      Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores are very beautiful places with beautiful beaches.Those are places where you can find either expensive places to live or cheap places or right in between.It's a lot different in those two places.Alot more clean and the people are more respectful.
      I think the beach life just makes people happier in general and a lot of the community are older more respectful people.
