><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Elizabeth always wanted me to go to Asheville with her. From what I\u2019ve read, it\u2019s a mini-Portland (OR) and it did live up to that with the food &amp; beer scene, culture and overall quality of life. At the same time, this is a southern town so you have fried-chicken, sweet tea, humble common-folk and the accent you\u2019d expect along with beautiful views of mountains that surround the city. From a comfort level, Asheville is better than Portland but I\u2019d say Portland still has far more to offer and is more appealing to me if I chose to live the hipster life again.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I was only here for 2 days, I ate 5 meals, tried 3 different cafes, visited 4 breweries (including Sierra Nevada\u2019s east coast plant which is technically not in Asheville) and I just explored the city. I\u2019m looking forward to going back.
