Asheville vs. Ashland

I am a few short weeks away from being back in Denver (hard to believe!) and now it's time to start really weighing the pros and cons of everything that I have seen and experienced over the past couple of months. I have narrowed it down to two options based on what I enjoyed most, weather, employment as well as career advancement opportunity, outdoor and cultural activities. Ashland, OR and Asheville, NC. Both are wonderful, for some very similar reasons and some very different reasons. I spent the majority of the week either interviewing at firms in Asheville or on the phone with firms setting things up with people in Ashland so right now my head is spinning, I am exhausted from being "on" all week, but I am so excited to have so many options.
