We popped into the Haw River Ballroom to catch a few minutes of Old Time Pickin’ Sunday (where a bunch of people from the community bring their instruments and just sit down and play together.) Then we wandered up with steps to The Eddy for dinner [...]

Sunday morning, or if I’m being honest, more like Sunday at noon or Sunday slightly after noon, found us circling the streets of downtown Asheville in search of a parking spot.
