Well the State of North Carolina seems to be doing well in making real estate investments, and turning private property into property for ?everyone.?  With yesterday?s purchase
of Chimney Rock Park in Rutherford County, NC, I began to ponder the
question of what piece of property will be bought by State Leaders
next?  Well to get a head start on the next purchase, since our
tax dollars are being used in the process.  I have made a list of
private property that would make great investments for the State in
Western North Carolina:

1. Grandfather Mountain
2. The Biltmore Estate
3. Linville Caverns
4. Mystery Hill
5. Camp Greenville
6. Ghost Town In the Sky
7. Tweetsie Railroad
8. Nantahala Outdoor Center
9. Fontana Village

Well, we could get a Teapot Museum, but we?ve already paid for that.
