That’s not Swannanoa. It’s Oteen.
Technically, the Root Bar’s just outside the city limits, because the ‘welcome to Asheville’ sign on Tunnel Road is just west of its parking lot, at the bridge over the Swannanoa River. How you define Oteen’s a tricky question: is it entirely within the city limits? Is it the 28805 boundary? Where does Oteen stop and Riceville begin?
But the Root Bar definitely ain’t in Swannanoa. You don’t hit Swannanowhere till the next Ingles.
