This is one of the most "unfavorite" shops in Black Mountain. Why? Not just because their products are deadly for adults...and they push them on young people trying to grow into "savvy adults," but because this building is located right across the street from the Primary School. That's young children's educational site. They may learn to read, and just look what they can see out the bus windows or from the playground during recess!

Looks like a nice town overall.
ReplyDeleteThanks AC. I do enjoy living here very much.
Delete...a number of years ago I visited Asheville, I wish that I had visited Black Mountain too.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok. Next time we'll meet up for coffee and cakes. Asheville is pretty neat too!
DeleteI dislike those vape and tobacco stores too. I wish they were illegal but that will never happen.
ReplyDeleteWell, the many programs showing the dangers of vaping might help. Unfortunately this used to be tobacco country, so many older (those who are still alive) folks have that habit. Pretty soon they will all be gone, anyone who raised tobacco.
DeleteI grew up on a tobacco farm. Handlin the green leaves always made me wonder why anyone would smoke it. At the end of the day my hands were black with tar. My parents smoked, as well as most of the adults in my life. I had asthma as a child and would often wake with the croup. That is scary! My grandmother would scoop me up and take me outside to stand in the frost on the grass with my bare feet. Worked everytime! Then she would soak a rag in turpentine and hang it on my bed post. Wonder what that did to my lungs? probably nothing good!
ReplyDeleteGolly, that must have been scary as a child. Glad your grandmother's treatments worked. To have worked in tobacco harvesting must have also been a tough thing for you to do. Glad you survived!!
