Main Street USA

 Friday's Main Street

by Prudence

This is my first Main Street USA motor tour and we are in

Burnsville, NC
Yancey County
Traveling northeast of Weaverville, about 29 miles we come to a very lovely small town names Burnsville.

 Hensley Historical House
Restaurant

This is where we had lunch, it is the Hensley House and is 200 years old, now a wonderful, charming restaurant.  The day was so bee-u-tee-ful that we ate in the front yard.

The town is built around the town square, 4 roads lead to the square, North Main, South Main, East Main, and West Main St.  No traffic lights, no stop signs, when you are at the crosswalk everyone stops to let you cross.

Town Square

Beauty in The Park

Bed & Breakfast on the square

Times Journal Building

Isn't this wonderful, it's painted on the brick building.
I saved the best for last.  We were walking around the town square and this church's bell was playing, you just wanted to stand there and let the music embrace you.

Higgins Memorial United Methodist Church.

I hope you enjoyed the tour, I loved showing you around and spending time with you.  I wish you a most wonderful weekend and Happy Labor Day, if you travel please be safe.

Friday's Main Street

Traveling a little due north of here, about 11 miles we come to a beautiful little town, Mars Hill.  The town is home to Mars Hill University, a four year, Christian school.  When the town was founded and the school was built it was Mars Hill College, a 2 year school, but in 2013 it changed to a 4 year university.
Let's just "say it with pictures".

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence

Howdy Doody, hope everyone is well and enjoying Friday.  I just wanted to show you a few pictures of Main Street.  You know, the "say it with pictures" thingy, again.

Town Hall is at the end of Main St.

Looking up Main St. from Town Hall

Jack of Hearts on Main St.  We had lunch here.  The building is the original Weaverville Fire Station, the building next door was the washing station, where the fire trucks were washed.

The Pet Pantry is off Main St. We met the owner and her 2 "store managers".  One was the watcher, an older Rottie, all nestled  on his bed by the window, and the other one was the greeter, a sweet B&W, we think a mix.  The greeter showed us where the treats are that he loves.  Mom picked out two to bring home to Molly & Jessie.  Dad checked to see if they carry the girls doggy food, which they do.  The owner told us if there is anything that we need that they don't have she will get it for us.  We are so excited to get back to small town living.  This is where we really fit in.  Sigh...
