I love downtown Asheville. I love it for what it once was and what is now becoming. I love Asheville because its not quite sure what it wants to be. On one side you have expensive shops and boutiques, a street that was designed to look like a street in Europe. Rich people sit at tables on the street and eat their lobster and shrimp. The street is flanked by BMWs, Mercedes, and a Lexus or two. The next street over you have someone sitting in the doorway of an old wig shop reading tarot cards. You have drummers in the square drumming a chant and people dancing, their bodies crushed against one another. I love Asheville because you can see everything your heart desires there; even an open art gallery with bright colored bulls painted brilliantly.
