    Very friendly people always willing to help and appreciative of whatever I bring in. Also a good place for unusual items...and blue jeans!

    The Museum of the American House Cat is one of those stops that feels both interesting and quirky…read morein the best possible way, the kind of place that you pull into on a whim and walk out of smiling because it exists at all. The collection is a tight little maze of memorabilia, artwork, toys, signage and all the odd bits of feline history someone loved enough to gather, and we were through it in less than twenty minutes which honestly would have been quicker except Oliver the tabby, one of the resident cats, decided that we were worth his time. He let us pet him a bit and that small moment of cat diplomacy ended up being almost as memorable as anything in the cases. I kept thinking about a similar museum I visited near Gettysburg that was all about elephants. A fun comparison because I do not have elephants as pets and the emotional connection is of course different. Cats are part of daily life for so many people and that makes this place feel more personal and more playful. The displays are charming without trying to be anything grander than what they are and that honesty makes it work. As a break from driving through the North Carolina mountains, this was exactly the kind of distraction I hope for on a road trip, something small and strange and delightful that reminds you why detours are worth taking. I am genuinely pleased we swung off the main route for it because it added a little spark to the day and gave us a story to carry forward, and sometimes that is all you want from a roadside museum dedicated to the creatures who rule our homes.

    Definitely worth a stop if you are a fan of cats! Even my boyfriend's parents (who are dog people)…read morethought it was interesting. This small museum is absolutely packed with cat collectibles, sorted by theme (clocks, Halloween, music, etc.) There is even a mummified cat from Egypt. My favorite thing was the carousel with the various cat figures on it. Well, my REAL favorite thing was the couple of kitties running around wanting pets! The museum supports the cage-free, no-kill shelter, Catman2 Shelter, so pay your $10 entry fee, pick up some goodies in the gift shop, and know that it's benefitting a good cause.

    Let me start by saying the staff here is great. Very nice, very helpful. BUT...they have some of…read morethe most overpriced items I have ever seen in a Goodwill. They price things as if they were an antique store and not a thrift shop that gets their inventory for free. They already ask you to "round up" your "donation" when you check out...and have zero problem charging almost retail on any item that might be collectible. The point of a Goodwill is to find a deal. You won't find one in Sylva. You are better off on eBay. Truth.

    "Shoppe"....yes, you read it right! And although most items in a Goodwill have been pre-owned, that…read moredoesn't mean they are from the Middle Ages. Quite the contrary, actually. You never know what treasures lie inside a Goodwill, so get diggin'. This location is very new. It opened in December of 2015. It is clean and well organized. I did not have to stand on tiptoe to get to scarves. Shoes were not a jumbled mess. Everything was tangible. I scored new dishes from Target, a Gap sweat jacket for my kid, and an H&M scarf for my other kid, but I am hoping that she does not wear it for six months so I can rightfully claim it. We also got a cocktail glass and a framed pic of a unicorn. That picture now graces my living room. The employees here are so nice! An employee told me that the local college students donate wonderful items. I saw a great selection of books, come to think of it. I like the fact that this location is a true "shoppe"- small, not crammed, and not overwhelmed with too many items. You can pop in and pop out, even just for kicks. And even though a fellow patron decided to block me from potential finds with her strategically placed cart, fellow competitive moms do not abound here. Relax, reuse. If you got that certain je ne sais quoi but want more, then this is the place for you. (Monday through Saturday: Nine to eight. Sunday: One to six.)

    While visiting Asheville for a long weekend from Washington, D.C., booking a Hood Huggers tour was…read moreone of the best things we did. Led by Mr. Dwayne, the tour is an hour and a half learning about the Burton Street Community, a historically Black neighborhood in West Asheville and the victim of gentrification and highway expansions. Hood Huggers was created to serve as a champion for the 1912 neighborhood and its long-time residents. My wife, eight-year-old daughter, and I booked a Sunday morning tour. Since it was just us, he gave us the option to walk it or take his little shuttle. Mr. Dwayne gave us the background on the area before Mr. Cotton, the grandson of the man who founded the neighborhood, joined us with a book of photos. After a drive, we ended at the Peace Gardens and Market, a sacred space for the community.

    What a cool tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and even offered to do a shuttle right for us…read moreversus a walk ride due to the weather being cold and it was just us on the tour for that morning. He showed us a lot of different areas that were Historical for the African-American community. He also shared a lot of historical information of the schools and colleges in the area that were very prominent years ago. I will definitely recommend this tour hands down to give you more of a historical African-American background of the city based on the money that we spent I feel that it was a great value for the tour that we received the service was outstanding by our tour guide and hands-down. I definitely would recommend this tour.
