January 10, 200521 yr Hey there, My wife is interviewing for a professorship (tenure track) possition at ASU in Boone, NC Anyone in the area or know much about it? It seems like a beautiful place but very small....Any insights? I have done a bit of web surfing looking into the general info but it's always good to get the opinions of subaru-nutz.... garner
January 10, 200521 yr It has been quite a few years since I have been through Boone. That entire area is very beautiful. Yes it is small! Although Ashville isn't all that far away, but then again Ashville is only something like 300k. Several small ski hills in the area that you can hit during the week, too many people go on the weekend. I am sure that there are a large number of off road trails in the area to give your suby a good workout. ASU has a good reputation in the state for a "small" school. You have to put it in the perspective of State, UNC and Duke being just down the road. Personally I would go for it as long as a small town doesn't scare you.

January 10, 200521 yr Author thanks for the reply, No a small town doesn't scare me, Eugene is only 140k or so and at times it seems big to me.... I love the idea of maybe having a house with a BIGA$$ garage/shop. Not sure what I'd do for money while there but maybe the wife will bring home the bacon for the both of us If I move there, I'll definately have to build an off road Subaru. I'm really more of a street guy, but I can learn. I bet the area has some sweet twisties to rip the Impreza down. garner
January 10, 200521 yr Boone-a fine spot for Subarus! See any 70's Subies left down there?Last time I was in the area....oh about 4 plus years ago,we saw a nice little '76 DL.
January 13, 200521 yr Boone is a great town. I recruit alot of my summer staff from Appalachian State University. Mountain biking, skiing, hiking and camping any time you want. What could be better.
