From the parking lot to the porch, stories are part of the culture of Western North Carolina. Whether you were born here, or you got here as soon as you could, stories flow from this place like rivers down its mountains and bike wheels down singletrack.

We hope that the stories shared here and by our community members inspire you to tell your own story and be a proud part of this amazing community of people, places, and companies that have been made by the mountains of WNC.
