Finding Asheville
In 2005 I published Finding Your Way in Asheville – a guide to my city. Though this is more than a guidebook, with stories about the cultural and natural history of this town. Tales of the children of wealth who built this town (“Daddy’s Money”), the origins of NASCAR (“Trading Paint”), Black Asheville (“Afro History”), and, of course, The Giant Crystal Under the City.
Little did I suspect that it would become the best selling guide to the best town in America, or that I would be updating that book every couple of years for … ever? 2015 brought the 10th anniversary edition. How those years speed by! Now it seems most tourists travel cell phone in hand, and I think this will remain the final edition,
