A few shots of what I saw driving around a few areas of my state (NC)

The first four are in Asheville, about a half mile from where President Obama buys ribs when he's in town.
The abandoned house is near Statesville.

These pictures do not seem to portray it well. Although they do have very talented graffiti artists.

Interesting photos though.

Other than Charlotte which has skyscrapers of Art Deco, it is very much NCs jewel of diversity in architecture, people, dining, art, folk-art, hipsters, street-entertainment and more.

I'm was choosing shots of a little different nature. I photographed the building where Zelda Fitzgerald died, it is a beauty.
May show some of the pretty stuff when I'm not so tired.

I looked but only have this, an accidental photo. I was not shooting the buildings this time. Am also adding another from a pub.
