Twenty years have flown by since the Mast Store in Greenville first opened its doors in the old Meyers-Arnold building, but Sunday, March 12, 2023, marks that day exactly. To celebrate, Mast Store is giving everyone who visits that day a free bag of its world-famous, freshly-popped popcorn. ...read more

Few performers achieve a status where their music is synonymous with the place they call home. Dolly Parton would be such an icon of Tennessee, for instance. Likewise, no one evokes the image of “moonlight through the pines” in Georgia more than Ray Charles or the ancient tones of Kentucky’s bluegrass hills like Bill Monroe. Arguably no one person is as associated with the sound of the North Carolina mountains, perhaps even the entire state of North Carolina, as Doc Watson. As we celebrate what would have been Watson’s 100th birthday on March 3, we’ll look at the lasting legacy of Doc and cover how generations of musicians and music lovers influenced and inspired by his sound are honoring the man as eternal as the Carolina mountains with a host of events and an outpouring of memories. ...read more

We’ve all said the phrase, “If these walls could talk, what stories they would tell.” That could be said about many places and perhaps the walls themselves – think about Russia’s famous Amber Room if it’s ever found. Much closer to home, we started wondering about the iconic centerpiece of the Front Room at the Original Mast General Store. Just what is the story of the pot-bellied stove? ...read more

Back 40 years ago, you couldn't grab a bite to eat in the Valle. It meant a drive to Boone or to Banner Elk or to Mountain City over in Tennessee. That is until John and Faye Cooper decided to open the Mast Store Deli. Sandwiches and soups were served in the back of the store. Here's a little of that story, including a bit of it in Faye's own words. ...read more

This is the final Fall Foliage Primer of the year. It looks like Knoxville, Greenville, and Hendersonville still have some locations of high color. Other reporting spots - Boone/Valle Crucis, Asheville, and Waynesville - have some spotty color (particularly Oaks, which are in their glory right now, and some Maples). There are still lots of activities to get out and enjoy, too. Check out what our reporters have to suggest as well bid you a fond farewell until next year. ...read more

It's week four of the Fall Foliage Primer and we're beginning to see some changes. The higher elevations around Boone and Valle Crucis had a light frost earlier in the week. Festivals in all locations abound for the weekend, so there's a lot of things to do. AND, we believe you may begin seeing even more color with the frost being on the pumpkin, so to speak, and the cooler temperatures. Get out and enjoy the beautiful season! ...read more
