We took a tour bus that showed us some interesting parts of Asheville that we hadn't discovered yet the big stone building you see was constructed by a fellow name Grove . he rivals the Vanderbilts for money and was a great architect he actually designed the city of Asheville after New York City type: architecture 1 building was even scheduled to look like a small Empire State Building the Stonewall my bicycle is it in front of is the wall of The Grove Park Inn my bike is actually one foot from the entrance yet it looks like it's up on the Grand Teton mountain he made it out of natural stone so that the building would look like it raised right up out of the mountain its way up high with a great view the pig and the turkey our little statues to remind people that Asheville was a trade route and many animals passed through it historically from Greeneville Tennessee to Greenville South Carolina the trade route passed around and through the easiest parts of the mountains it could find this was also the land of the Cherokee and Asheville was close to the beginning of the Trail of Tears
