Downtown
Bunny and I have usually visited Brevard [1] late in the year, sometime
between October and December (inclusive). It's typically quiet, lots of
parking downtown and very few people milling about.
Summer?
Oh My God!
The one downside to staying at The Sunset Motel [2] is having to park
downtown (it's a bit outside walking distance to downtown). And that's bad
this time of year as there is no parking available. Even last night when we
ate at The Square Root [3] (their Pecan-encrusted Brie is to die for) we had
trouble finding a parking spot. Today? We ended up parking several blocks
west of downtown. The sidewalks were mobbed. And there was fifteen minute
wait at Rocky's Soda Shop [4].
But for a retro-50s soda fountain they are rather high-tech. A waiter took
our name and cell phone number, entered it into an iPad application [5] which
then called us when our booth was ready. Who knew there's an app for that?

And even the barber shop [6] was crowded today when usually we're the only
ones there.
It's odd to think of Brevard as “bustling.”
