I’m continuing my year of traveling around the U.S. and checking out places that are new to me, and this time I’m heading nearly 2,200 miles from Seattle to Asheville, North Carolina! Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has a little bit of everything: incredible scenery, great food, music, breweries, quirky local businesses, and a seriously impressive amount of retro and pop-culture goodness. In this video, we explore the city, hit up Level 256 Classic Arcade Bar, dig through movies at Orbit DVD, hunt for vinyl at Harvest Records and Records in the Rad, check out the Asheville Pinball Museum, compare Beaver Lake to Seattle’s Green Lake, explore the River Arts District, grab some legendary BBQ at 12 Bones, and even visit Clint from Lazy Game Reviews to check out his massive video game and computer collection. Plus, there’s plenty of Dolly Parton, cicadas, coffee, arcade games, physical media, and nerdy treasures along the way. Welcome to Asheville!
