Andrews NC is in Cherokee county and has a population of about 1,000. We will be celebrating our centennial this year. We are the southwestern tip of NC and people like to claim we are equal distance from Knoxville, Chattanooga, Asheville, and Atlanta. The translation of course is that we are and hour and a half away from anything.
Cherokee county was Indian territory until the removal Cherokee on the trail of tears in 1838 (not exactly our finest moment). Andrews lies in one of the most beautiful spots on earth, a valley surrounded by mountains with the Valley River flowing from Andrews to Murphy. I do love living here. Everyone should get to live in a place they love.
Today was especially great with bright sunshine in the afternoon, clear roads in the valley, but mountains covered in snow.
