I actually visited twice over a few days in the area because I loved the shop so much! Even John was calling me over to see gorgeous pottery or glass art that he knew I would love!

The staff is super-friendly, the space is comfortable, especially during their construction/renovations, and the sound is stellar. She Said: As He noted, this is a great place to see a band. Plenty of space to set up your chairs, lots of room to dance, and welcoming to all ages. And the town itself is great for hanging out between trips to Pisgah. We will definitely come back. Potty Points: With 0 being the worst port-a-potty ever and 5 being the best, the potties here score a 5. They're kept incredibly clean, and there are enough that even during a popular show there was never a wait!

That sucked for me since that's my favorite kind of craft beer. Free stickers are offered and they had maybe a dozen beers on tap at various prices. They do flights that vary in price based on your selection of beers. Tons of merch for sale. Seems like a really cool venue for music and the Saturday afternoon we were there they had a food truck out back. We found our bartender to be very friendly.

This last visit, David showed me a previously loved Deering Sierra tenor banjo they had in on consignment. It was awesome, and I walked out with yet another instrument under my arm for what I thought to be a very fair price. I agree with the other review here; could you find a beginner uke (or nice guitar for that matter) at a slightly lower price at a big box music store? Perhaps. Will you be getting the personal customer service from knowledgeable employees while supporting a wonderful small business in Black Mountain? I think not. Stop by and take a look. It's a great little store and I didn't feel pressured in the slightest. Great experience overall.

If you going to be a music venue, get you some decent speakers and someone that knows how to run sound. Upchurch had to stop the concert several times due to the sound being messed up!! Also those big banners block the view! either move the banners back or build the stage out so people on the sides can see who they Paid good money to come and see! Get it together before you bring big name people i hear. Upchurch is a legend and has a BIG following. We were so disappointed! And on top of all that we got stopped on the way out for a water bottle?!?!? WTF!! You charge us 9.00 for 2 bottles of water and made us throw it away before we walk out and go home??? I could see if it was alcohol but freaking water???? come on!!! We probably won't be back.

I play other instruments including the guitar., and dobro slide guitar .7 months ago I lost the use of 2 fingers on my left hand the ring finger and pinky and was unable to play my guitar.

Pro: the classrooms are gorgeous. Cons: they are very rigid about materials (all kids cannot play with all materials, resulting in lots of frustration for kids), very rigid about being old school Montessori *, very rigid about wanting kids who fit in the same box. Not a lot of oversight on the playground, multiple bullying incidents that we had to bring to the school's attention. They initially gaslit us until there were some physical altercations that they literally could not ignore. I could go on about the upsetting things that happened here but I don't really want to revisit it. Highly recommend that you keep looking. *Took a tour of the new public Montessori, Mountain City, and talked with them about this experience as it had completely put me off the Montessori method. They were aghast and said that their school does not run this way...that this is an outdated and troubling way of running a school and that it does not have to be this way.

Each piece is an original work of art. The leaves range in size from 4-5 inches all the way up to 11 inches and larger. He will make a piece from a leaf that you provide if you are not satisfied with the ones he uses. They are grape leaves, banana leaves, maple, all sorts of leaves and the colors are absolutely fabulous. You have to check out the website for the full effect. For someone with a math and science brain, I find this work is most unusual and yes, a few pieces did come home with me.
