I'm actually from Marietta. If you were in Blairsville you were right down the road from my mom's hometown of Marble, N.C. just up from Murphy. My uncle used to own a general store in Marble, complete with the old timers sitting out front rocking and whittling. It's been closed for probably thirty years, but I can remember the smell of a freshly opened orange Nehi out of the cooler like it was yesterday. I love the Nantahala river area. I'll be up there this summer at another uncle's log cabin. Regards, Keys
