And by "RAD" I mean.... River Arts District of Asheville, NC.

In case I haven't already convinced you, Asheville is one of the coolest places in the U.S. of A.  

It's home to tons of cool paintings and graffiti, as shown on this particular building.

There's a few little places to shop and a neat independent textile place.... but best of all, RAD is home to 12 Bones Smokehouse--serving the best barbecue in town....and my personal favorite, jalapeno cheese grits.

If you don't want to take my word for it, just know that Barack and Michelle Obama ate there while visiting Asheville.

Is your mouth watering yet?
