The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area was just absolutely wiped out....I remember going there for the first time in 1979...man that was a beautiful place to visit and the people were solid, friendly, and helpful
I remember taking my Chevy Nova and driving up there with my girlfriend at the time and my buddy & his wife. Just outside of Lake Lure, my Nova overheated.....I pulled into this gas station/service station to have the guy look at it, worrying I was about to get hosed. The old boy took a look at it and said I can have that fixed in about an hour.....he said "my wife runs the cafe about a hundred yards down the road...it's a great place to eat and don't miss the pie of the day". And danged if he wasn't right.....food was great and the pie for the day was custard. He brings the car to the diner and says.....$40....I about dropped my eyeballs. He smiles and says....just leave my wife a good tip and enjoy the rest of the weekend. We stopped at that same diner on the way back thru after staying at the cabin we had rented that weekend. Made sure to leave a good tip then too....my Nova ran 2 more years before giving me any more fits. |
