What to do between Greensboro, NC and Nashville, TN

There was a pretty good http://ask.metafilter.com/41174/Asheville-Bound#635091about a year ago, and, from that thread, here's http://ask.metafilter.com/41174/Asheville-Bound#635091

not sure about any balls of yarn but there are plenty of awesome places to eat in downtown asheville. i had a very nice dinner at tupelo honey cafe once. recommended. grove park inn, rec'ed. the last time i went, a friend took my girlfriend and me out on a 'tour' of asheville. he asked us if we wanted to check out this art store. i said no, but somehow he persuaded us to go in anyway. i was confused at an art store being open at 11:00 at night, but my questions were answered when i was looking around the store and walked to the back, and there right in front of my eyes was a great big dildo. apparently the store is half generic art shop and half sex-toy-store. what made it even more awesome was that the owner or whoever was working there was one of the best salespeople i've ever seen. he sold those dildos like they were cars or something, explaining every feature and benefit and vibrations per second. hilarious.
