Greek mythology popped into my mind as I remembered Aphrodite was said to rise from the sea draped with Rosemary when she was born. Maybe she somehow … [Read more...]

Breakfast at Julie's

Julie's

Julie's is one of those places easily missed if you don't know where to look. Locals have been going there for a long time, but newbies are just as welcome. If you're looking for a good, basic breakfast at ridiculously cheap prices, Julie's is it. Four of us did just that a week or so ago. Rather than go in to a lot of detail (not much to say about eggs, bacon, home fries, except they were all fine), I'm just going to share some photos and prices. There's a nice creek right … [Read more...]

Don't Let Summer End Without a Visit to Dolly's Dairy Bar!

After a day sliding down the rock (Sliding Rock, Pisgah National Forest), hiking the park trails, floating or just splashing around in Davidson River, Dolly's Dairy Bar, located just outside one of the park's entrances near Brevard, is a must-stop. We've been a few times this summer, most recently after a few hours in the river. Luckily we got there in between rushes and missed this kind of line. Even when there's a long line, the folks behind the counter keep it moving pretty … [Read more...]
