It's a well-known hot spot in the "Land of Waterfalls", but now little Brevard, North Carolina, is making a run at the title of "Coolest Small Town in America" on the Budget Travel web site.The magazine is seeking out towns with populations under 10,000 people that have an up-and-coming "quality of life, arts and restaurant scene, or proximity to nature." With the Blue Ridge Mountains nearby , the Brevard Music Center and Brevard College in town, and downtown streets filled with eclectic shops and fine restaurants, the people of Brevard think their little town deserves the title.
Apparently, a lot of people agree. With the list whittled down to 21 towns across the country, Budget Travel has asked its readers to vote and comment on its list. At this point, Brevard appears to be in a neck-and-neck battle with Ely, Minnesota among readers.
The poll closes on May 9, but it will be the magazine's editors who will have the final say and put it into print in the October issue. To take a look at the list and cast your own vote and/or comment, click here. For more on Brevard and The Land of Waterfalls, go to www.visitwaterfalls.com.
