Beautiful Western North Carolina

Western North Carolina is one of the most beautiful places on this planet.

Some of us are lucky enough to live here, others are lucky enough to visit.

I wasn't born here, but I got here as soon as I could.

    I have absolutely FELL IN LOVE with Western North Carolina! I am from New England and the region of W. N.C. has everything I could want!

    I have been living in Spartanburg S.C. and I hate it! It sucks! There is so much crime and the people just want to back you into a corner and argue with you until you come out swinging! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!

    I want a small town in the mountains, maybe work at hospital or continue to work at Spartanburg Regional until I can find something closer.

    Any helpers? Thans in advance!

    HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

    I appreciated visiting your web blog. I found somethings interesting but in Western North Carolina, other than Asheville and Cherokee, where do you go for metaphysical items, alternative thinking, healing, meditation and other like minded things?
