Review of Asheville, North Carolina


I lived in Asheville for a year
Star Rating - 9/5/2006
People give up good paying jobs to live here. Quality of life can be good, feels small town safe. You won't make much $. If you're a Yankee the stigma's always going to be there- you'll be welcomed but not really included to some extent. If you're a single guy forget it- lots of man hating women here. I accidently bumped into a girl on the street, her girlfriend took great offense to this.
But if you're married, gay, or really into kayaking/mountain biking, it's cool.

I have to say you are right. I went to Greenville and strangers there are easier to talk to than strangers here most of the time. It seems Asheville is full of pretentious people who are in their own little world. As a single, straight woman, I have already forgotten it as far as dating and am moving far away from here.
