downtown asheville: Favorite Places in Asheville, NC
- 06/14/11 05:42 AM
Another favorite place in Asheville,NC--The Grove Arcade. Millionaire E.W. Grove believed in doing things in a large and luxurious way. His dream for the Grove Arcade was an opulent indoor city, complete with skylights and spiral staircases. He built some of it, died (as mere men are prone to do), and a partial dream was opened in 1929. In 1942, this grand venue was comandeered by the govt., then restored and reopened in 2002. We now have the privilege of experiencing the Grove Arcade--a completely unique restored mall in downtown Asheville. The Grove Arcade is like an architectural art festival!
