A sign of the Changing South

When I was walking through downtown Black Mountain today looking for somewhere good and southern to eat lunch I saw a place called Mountain Kitchen that boasted its 'Southern Mountain Cuisine.'

Sounded pretty good to me.

Until I noticed that it was out of business. And that it was being replaced by Thai Basil!!!

Southern food getting replaced by a Thai restaurant in downtown Black Mountain!?!?! We are sure an evolving state.
