8. hippie haven

"Ahhh boone, my hippie haven."

Glad to hear that Boone still has few hippies left. I lived in East for two years, then up on hippie hill.

10. You lived in East??

I lived in East - 2nd floor, new wing. (only 1 year - I wasn't actually in Watauga College)
It's where I met my wife-to-be...

When were you there?

6. Here's another one!

I live between Boone and Banner Elk, although before I moved down in the valley 2 years ago I lived right in town for 15 years! Cool to see there are a few of us around.

7. is the snow difficult to deal with?

that's the one thing I don't look forward to - especially since my car isn't four-wheel drive.

9. The snow is over rated!!

They clear the main roads around here very fast, so it's not a problem unless you live up on a mountaintop on a dirt road. Seriously, if you're gonna live inside the city limits, the snow is no problem. We had a relatively mild winter this past year.

11. Lovely memories of Boone

Was there from '87-'89, and met my wife there while on the air at WASU.

The Boone and Asheville areas are the progressive "gems of the west" here in beautiful NC. Much as I love life in the Triangle, I can't wait to go back and visit!

12. Update?

So, how's everything going now that school has started??

[MattNC]

14. going great

Loving the area and the people. I'm still kind of surprised at how liberal a lot of the area is - another liberal oasis in ol' red state NC. Of course from what I gather, the ASU student body probably leans just slightly Republican.

13. Hows that poli sci thing going for ya?

I just moved to the Charlotte area for school and have been thinking poli sci myself. Any input would be welcome.

15. i'm enjoying it

but a lot of the poli sci theory can be boring at times. PM me if you have any questions.
