shop. I thought it was cool that you could get a drink, have an ice cream, buy an antique, watch a movie and visit a cheese factory all within a couple of blocks.

It’s the weird, confusing road conditions and constant parking lot dramas in Boone that I’m trying to wrap my brain around, as well. The school isn’t the greatest when it comes to communicating these issues.

I’m juggling conditions in 3 areas for my crew - Chapel Hill/Raleigh, Boone, and Hendersonville.

We’re all in different spots for school and work, and the road conditions are keeping everyone hunkered in place instead of driving home to Hendo.
