From Ebbing to Oconaluftee

Family

Errands yesterday and today took us into Dillsboro and Sylva where all the buzz around town is about the filming next month of a couple of minutes of the dark comedy Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Sassyfras Furniture Store is being converted into the Ebbing Police Department with a Welcome to Ebbing sign on the side. Our friends at Freeman Gas will be assisting in the special effects when the police department is blown up.

Leaving Ebbing behind we traveled to the Oconaluftee Visitors Center in Great Smoky Mountain National Park to replace Karen’s parks pass and to rejoin Friends of the Smokies. The trip home included a repast of gyros at Kosta’s, the Greek restaurant in Dillsboro. Yum! And a copy more stops to get materials for projects around Tween Creeks.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
