I'm visiting every town in NC - Hendersonville, North Carolina

[@ShesHereForTheMusic]

We love visiting Hendersonville. I take the kids apple picking every fall down there.

[@TimothyFrench]

Great memories for the kids I’m sure. 🍎🍎🍎

Wow, Timothy! You finally got to tour Hendersonville, NC! Hendersonville is one of my favorite towns to visit when I am in that part of Western NC! It is a true gem that is beautiful, vibrant, welcoming, and enjoyable, and its people are kind. To me, it is much nicer and safer than the now overrated, large, overcrowded Asheville. Hendersonville's local government has made it a very important endeavor to maintain its small town feel and the vibrancy, popularity, safety and cleanliness of its town center. Being nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a true treat, and there are many beautiful communities, parks, and waterfalls in this gorgeous jurisdiction everywhere. A lot of retirees have chosen Hendersonville as home because of its uniqueness and close proximity to and plethora of so many wonderful things to do. Several other beautiful, quaint small towns are in close proximity to Hendersonville and are wonderful to visit and also reside in! I really enjoyed this video, Timothy! Thank you for making it! I'm sure you too enjoyed Hendersonville!

[@TimothyFrench]

It is a special town for sure. And I’m glad they are trying to hold on to their small town feel. Although it will become more difficult as more people move into the area. Hopefully the population will level out before it starts busting at the seams like some others I’ve seen. We have so many wonderful small towns here in North Carolina that we can spread out a bit making them all a wonderful place to live or visit. Thanks for watching and for sharing your knowledge of the area.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who cause problems where they currently live always want to quickly move away from those places when things get completely out of hand there to new places. Once in the new place, they slowly begin to question why the small town doesn't have this and that, and that when they once again start to help create problems for the new place they call home that will lead to it too being destroyed. Greed and overdevelopment play a major role in destroying small towns and nice communities, too! The more people who flock to a small town, the more it becomes larger with traffic congestion and overdevelopment; the type of place realtors will brand as having a "small town feel"; a now less appealing place for town natives, long-term locals and other folks who previously relocated their to get away from what they now find themselves being faced with.

Been there a few times and love that town.

[@conservachick100]

The bears are painted by local artists and auctioned off in October to raise money for town improvements/maintenance. 😊

[@TimothyFrench]

That’s awesome! Thanks for info.

[@shiqingcui8639]

been there 12 years ago, was impressed by its cleanliness and everything else.

[@TimothyFrench]

I agree. They have a great town center 👍

[@tonimarie2359]

There were and still are a lot of issues in Hendersonville from the storm. Most have been taken care of - like no power, some had no water, and no internet. Bad flooding in several areas. A large number of trees down, some of which caused damage to roofs. Slowly but surely things are being repaired and cleaned.

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for the update, Toni Marie 👍

[@Nico-pk1hc]

I’m thinking about visiting Asheville/Hendersonville Area in the fall! 🍁 thanks for sharing this video! I already love the downtown area. You seem like such a cool and easy going guy. Love your commentary and I will be hitting follow for more of your videos! 🙂

[@TimothyFrench]

Thank you. And thanks for subscribing. Asheville and Hendersonville are great places to visit 👍

The Apple Festival is every Labor Day weekend and they close Main Street from Friday afternoon though Monday night. concessions, all kinds of apple products from local orchards, artists, crafters, music, food, and people just a strolling up and down main street.

Lots of Whineries and Breweries nearby , a couple in town. Check first Avenue and Seventh Avenue which is being updated. Whineries off N Main St ( 6th Ave E turns into Four Season's Blvd to ) Chimeyrock Rd (64 E) onto Chestnut Gap and all the Apple Orchards.

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for the information 👍

[@elainegoad9777]

That's the old Court House now a museum. New Court House is on Grove St. You have to pay to park now or get a ticket.

[@TimothyFrench]

I never like it when towns make you pay to park. Thanks for the clarification on the court house 👍

[@terrybane6206]

Ahhh.....right at the end you were standing beside Kilwin's. They have the best orange cream chocolate candies on the planet.....milk or dark chocolate.

[@TimothyFrench]

I believe they had one in Black Mountain as well. Yum Yum

[@HeyGirlHey77]

OMG! I've been doing my research and heard Hendersonville is " The New Spot," to live. I have really considering moving there instead of Charlotte. What are the odds! 😊

It's Way better than Charlotte ........

The businesses pain and design their bears every year for a contest and the bears are auctioned off every year for a fundraiser. There are new Bears every year. McFarlan's Bakery, Sherman's Sports, Tempo Music, Flanagan's Irish Pub are some of the long time stores in the city.

[@TimothyFrench]

That’s a great way to raise funds. 👍

[@poodarillajones423]

"The Pob" has only been there about 15 years.

I don't understand it you would never think that Hendersonville was high in crime. Looks like one of the best cities I've seen you tour.

[@keicha239]

Fr I'm from Hendersonville it's like a lil small dangerous town but I still love my hometown tho

[@TimothyFrench]

@keicha239 I love my hometown too; everyone should. There is crime in parts of every city and town, even the ones everyone says you should move too. Thanks for posting

Hendersonville's Main Street has always been serpentine.

Thanks, I thought it was straight at one time.

@@TimothyFrench They did repave the sidewalks and add lots of landscaping some years ago, but the road always curved.

No , it has not. It was a 4 lane , straight as an arrow from Hwy 64 to Spartanburg Hwy. Also the ground level of 4 Seasons Blvd. , was about 40 or 50 feet higher than today.

I did a search on police statistics for Hendersonville and it doesn't seem to be very safe. 5 out of a 100. Where I live is a 48 out of a 100. Thanks to Obiden there is all this crime due to unemployment and businesses closing.

Thanks for the info 👍
