Yeah I could have told you this happened back home even without the town name in the title. 🧨💣

According to agents, the investigation started after firefighters were called for an explosion and structure fire. Court records said during their response on Cove Creek Drive, firefighters located a liquor manufacturing operation and contacted the Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon arrival, NC ALE said its agents found an active 200-gallon illegal distillery and the agents seized 1,800 gallons of mash and 161 gallons of non-taxpaid moonshine. Billy Ray Anderson, 69, of North Wilkesboro was charged during the investigation.

Witnessed the most beautiful suns I’ve ever seen in my life this past weekend. Camped near max patch and balsam knob. Max patch sunset and balsam knob sunrise pictures here!

Is it worth it? How scary is it? Good for teens? How long does it take to walk through? Can you go through multiple times? How are the lines?

Looking for a great lunch between AVL and Knoxville. Where do you recommend and what should we order? Leaving Monday. We'll eat damn near anything. Thanks

Edit: I live in AVL.

Hey everyone! We’re traveling from the eastern part of the state next week and I’ll be proposing to my girlfriend of 2 years. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on any places that have a great mountain view where there won’t be a million people around? Were able to hike a short distance if needed (less than a mile preferably. We’re staying in Bryson City if that helps, but can drive a little ways if needed. I’m working with a photographer who is also helping me but figured I’d come here as well. Any advice/tips or locations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you’re visiting our beautiful mountains and see a long line of vehicles following you, please pull off when possible and let them pass.Thank you.

If this is the kind of "third place" community hangout spot that you might enjoy, please head over to our page and take the survey & tell us what you'd like to have in your friendly neighborhood board game parlor! www.looking-4-group.com

Holler with any questions!

Sunday morning my girlfriend and I are coming up from Lexington for a day trip to look at the fall foliage. So far the planned stops I have are bridal veil first, then head to dry falls and after that drive into Franklin to check out the Wayah bald lookout tower, where I’m going to propose to her. Do you locals know of any other must see spots around the area (within an hour-ish) that we should check out? I’m open to all suggestions that don’t require long hikes, I’m in a walking boot right now unfortunately. Affordable restaurants? Cheap attractions? Things/places women are fond of? Etc. Thanks!

We ended up having a change of plans and have the opertunity to fish in Franklin for two days starting tomorrow. We want to try and get into some trout and smallmouth. Any areas you guys recamend we try and Tips would be awesome.

Greetings all - My wife and I are nearing retirement and we keep looking at WNC as a possible destination we end up when we leave the rat race behind.

I'm curious if someone could share what it's like living in the area around West Jefferson over to Sparta. We've visited West Jefferson a few times and loved it and this weekend we're heading over towards Sparta to check it out.

Anything you can share that would be good to know would be appreciated.

Does anyone have the skinny on this? Sounds good in theory but is this maybe just a roundabout way to get public money into private hands?
