The refurbished old gas station now has a little vintage type light fixture out by the road, and some grass rolled in, but no good sidewalk between that grass and the road itself. That probably will have to change.
In Ingles Grocery, they don't do autumn. They jump from summer straight to winter needs!
As I drove by...sorry about cut-off by window. This is The Grange, with focus on meat products and serving alcoholic beverages with them. The gravel lot used to be a parking lot, so these nice shelters and some landscaping are really a good improvement. Unless you want a place to park.
I'll have to try it out some evening. It doesn't look like it does any business at noon (on Wed. when I took these photos and very few cars were parked in the slots right by the sidewalk.) I like the side order dishes which the same company sells at Little Sprouts, their catering outlet where I can pick up delicious beans, sweet potatoes, sour cream mashed potatoes, and "That Salad" which serves me 3 full plate meals.

...the old gas station looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe remodeled gas station does look great. The Grange has a nice outdoor area. I am not ready for winter or snow shovels. Take care, enjoy your day!
I'm actually looking to purchase a ice cooler...to have in the trunk of my car. But I borrowed one that had wheels on one end and that's what I want now.
DeleteI also love the gas station.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that they have refurbished it in the original style!
DeleteThe gas station looks great!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till it opens as a restaurant...and of what, I wonder.
DeleteI love the fact that someone chose not to demolish that old gas station, but instead to refurbish it. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt has been empty and an eyesore in downtown Black Mountain for at least 20 years...if it ever had a second life before this one, it had died by then. So it is certainly wonderful to see.
DeleteI am wondering where my cooler is? mmmmm. It will show up. It is so great that the powers that be are not going to demolish but instead renovate the old gas station.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, a great rennovation!
DeleteMy friend is moving to NC this weekend. I'm pretty sure I will get to see NC for myself once she's settled.

Oh it's excellent, with at least 3 geographic areas...the sea shore, the piedmont, and the mountains. If you ever make it to Black Mountain, I'll buy you a cup of coffee!
DeleteThings change!
