More than a destination for ski bums and App-State students, Boone boasts big arts, eats, and maybe the best coffee this side of Italy


	Columbia, South Carolina South Carolina’s capital seat is fast becoming a cultural hot spot
	Knoxville, Tennessee Knoxville’s rocky mountaintops are studded with fine Tennessee cuisine and a bustling arts scene
	Savannah, Georgia Famed for its history and its food, Savannah continues to reveal its secrets
	Southern Revival I’d grown up on family vacations to Six Flags and the World of Coca-Cola. The Atlanta of my youth was satisfying to be sure, but I wanted to rediscover it with grown-up tastes.
	Far & Away From as close by as the North Carolina mountains to the distant shores of Costa Rica, these last-minute summer getaways promise affordable, accessible adventures for Upstate residents in search of a relaxing hiatus this travel season.
	Back to Nature There’s only one road to Edisto Beach, and on the way, in the shade of oak tree limbs, is the tidy U.S. Post Office in Adams Run, the one with the hand-painted signage.
	Summer Drive With only two lanes of traffic, and abundant scenery and history all along the way, Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway 11 follows the former footpaths and cart trails of Cherokee Indians and colonial fur traders. Today, it gives views of a landscape that natives aptly described as “the Great Blue Hills of God.”
	Bright Prospect Walter Taylor is asking me if I’ve seen the movie Braveheart. I’m nodding yes, of course, but this isn’t the topic of conversation I’d expected on my trip to Franklin.
	Tryon Admitting you’ve never cheered for a favorite during the races at the Blockhouse Steeplechase is a faux pas on par with disclosing you’ve never polished off a plate of pulled pork at Tryon’s Blue Ridg
	Charlotte Bank of America Stadium looms up from the landscape, just to the right of the neon JFG billboard, its architectural wave distracting my gaze momentarily from the highway.
