    Looks like a such a quaint town with such cute shops and alleyways. Those flower gardens are beautiful ! Looks like the type of town a novel could take place in.Thanks for bringing such cute towns to our attention. It’s nice to get a preview so we can add to our “go to “ list.👍🏻 Honestly, that grilled cheese and tomato soup looks yummy, nice to have some lighter options instead of big heavy meals all the time.

    That was fun and the flowers were awesome. All those mountain towns are great, but no straight road to get there...lots of curvy mountain roads. They have a lot more shops there than I thought. They have a ski slope, so they must get a good amount of snow there.

      I normally wouldn't comment on a UA-cam vid, but I saw this as the top comment and thought it was a bit odd for even a highfalutin local to say, based on the harmless content of the video. I'm also a 5th gen native to the area but the couple in this video seems super nice and down to earth, not doing any sort of harm. Looks to me they're just enjoying themselves and pointing out a few things they find interesting, no harm in that. I thought it was kind of neat to see a vid of Blowing Rock pop up on my suggested vids. My family and I stop through Blowing Rock regularly, usually to grab a quick lunch or coffee from Camp, and everyone is always very nice, including out-of-towners. The only thing that is a downside is parking, since it is getting more popular, but that's to be expected when you're dealing with a cool little town like this. Even though I have no say in it, since we're all free to roam as we wish, as long as people are friendly, I'm all about them checking out the area - it's beautiful!
