Asheville, North Carolina

 

Comedian Tom Delgado gets out of New York City -- to Asheville, NC, where he gives us a history tour, with his usual humor and insight, Mom Delgado on the camera.  Topics include the first indoor shopping arcade, the many well- known architects who put their stamp on the city, Thomas (not Tom!) Wolfe / Jimmie Rodgers / Gladys Knight and other artists who lived in Ashville, and more.  For many here in the East, Ashville is also known as a popular retirement destination because of its bustling art and culinary scene and its location in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains.
