I've been hearing a lot about historic trolley tours in Asheville, North Carolina with stops at historic sites including Pack Place, Grove Park Inn, and Asheville River Arts District. There's this totally sweet old school red trolley that cruises through town, it reminds me of the L train in San Francisco. I've never ridden it, but I've certainly harassed the passengers, as all good natured Asheville natives do. We do have quite a reputation to uphold as a weird wild and wonky little town. With the Fringe Festival coming up, it's a perfect time to come on up to Ashevegas and jump on a trolley sightseeing tour.
If it was closer to Halloween I would recommend the Asheville ghost trolley- you're sure to get thrills and chills while exploring the haunted side of this city. But as Valentines Day is approaching, it feels appropriate to mention the event and wedding charters available on these awesome trolleys. Imagine getting married on a crazy red trolley careening through the streets of the coolest town in the south east! Okay, okay do it in a church. But please then imagine at least piling the wedding party guests onto the trolley after the ceremony. Unforgettable! You could plan a rollicking valentine's day party trolley tour or plan an entire trolley vacation tour to be sure to see all of Asheville's historic sights and monuments. There's so much to explore! We've got the historic Montford district with its parks, punk rock parties and Jamaican noodle shops. There's the legendary Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa- this place is a trip! So elegant and decadent. We used to go every year at Christmas to see the gingerbread house contest winners. On your Asheville historic trolley sightseeing tour, you're sure to pass through the Urban Trail of downtown, bursting with Art Decho richness. You'll have a blast in the quaint and quite cute if unbelievably Bourgeois Biltmore Village (the McDonalds has a grand piano in it), or if that's not your cup of tea, you'll revel in the edgy and artsy River Arts District (think wearhouses, artist's studios, train tracks, graffiti, sculpture art). I remember being there on the set of my first ever photo shoot, I was modeling on a cloudy windy day in red silk, climbing the ladder of a broken down train car. We were going for an urban look. I've shot a few times around there, there's always something interesting to serve as a backdrop. Pack Place is another stop you'll be making, where you can check out the art museum and the theater. Take the time to educate yourself about this town. Learn about Asheville’s early settlers, famous citizens and illustrious authors through interesting stories and colorful anecdotes. See for yourself a city rich in architecture, history and the arts... alive and inviting! And don't miss The Thomas Wolfe Memorial. I think the red trolley that runs through town includes free admission. If I were a tourist in Asheville, I would jump on it.
