This June, Statesville was awarded the honor of being an All American City by the National Civic League for the 2nd time. The last time the city was honored was in 1997. Contrary to what some may believe, this is a moment to be proud of what our citizens, business leaders and elected officials have accomplished for all of us. There have been many that have said "Yes, that's great, but what about all the other problems?" Well, being an All American City does not mean that we are without problems, what is does mean is that we are working on solving the problems that do exist.



Times are tough for alot of people out there and Statesville residents have made it there mission to help aleviate some of the hardships that exist and help close some gaps. The presentation in Tampa Florida presented the forward steps Statesville has taken to help the homeless with the new Fifth Street Ministries Shelter, help the children with the new Boys and Girls Club and help bridge the cultural divide with the Mia Familia Institute. Even in these tough economic times, the citizens of Statesville reached into their pockets to raise millions for these projects because it will make a difference to our city.

I for one am proud to call myself a resident of Statesville!

From Statesville, travel west on Interstate 40 to Ashville NC, home to the beautiful Grove Park Inn. Built in 1913, this Inn is loaded with history.

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting the Inn for our 23rd wedding anniversary and enjoying the fabulous mountain views. Upon arrival, you are greeted by the valet in front of the original Inn. After check in, you will get to explore your room. There are several differnt options for the room from mountain view to one overlooking the spa and ones with interior views of the Inn. Our room was a corner room with mountain views that had just been remodeled. The sky was very clear and we could see for miles! The only drawback to our room was that we did not have a balcony to sit out on. That would have been perfect.

Resort casual is the dress code for the extensive Friday night seafood buffet. What a spread! It is not possible to leave there hungry! Service was great and the food was fabulous. Don't forget to check out the dessert area - Yum.

There are many things to do during your stay. Go golfing on the legendary course named after Donald Ross or work out at the sports complex.

Visit the shops at the Inn or wander downtown Asheville and shop in the Historic Biltmore Village. Take a short ride down Route 74A and drive the winding roads around Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.

If you decide to remain at the Inn, you can spend your time at the Spa. This is something you do not want to miss. What a place. If you do not use the services, make sure you at least take a tour. Enjoy the outdoor fire pits, jacuzzi spas, outdoor pool area, indoor pool, massages, facials and much much more... Relax and Enjoy!

In the evenings before dinner, take a romantic stroll through the endless trails, check out the museum and art shops or just take a seat and enjoy the view with a great glass of wine.

For dinner, you have 3 great options to choose from - Horizons, The Blue Ridge Dining Room and the Sunset Terrace. Afterward, you can have some fun in the piano bar (Elaine's), Listen to live music in the Great Hall Bar or Magnolia Lounge and relax in the Cabana Grill.

This is just the beginning of the ammenities offerd at the Grove Park, so pack up the car and head out for a relaxing weekend at the Inn (oh yea - don't forget your wallet!) Make sure the check the website for specials!

All this within a 2 hour drive of Statesville- and what a drive it is!
