About
Lexington Avenue is one of Asheville's hippest streets. For your music needs visit Static Age Records, specializing in vinyl, punk rock and heavy metal. Instant Karma [122] and the Octopus Garden specialize in smoking accessories along with a wide variety of other products. Hip Replacements [123] has some great vintage clothing, while up the block Spiritex [124] offers a wide variety of sustainably produced clothing. Buy a used book or read the newspaper or a magazine at Downtown Books and News. Get a tattoo at Liquid Dragon [125], and stop by one of the many restaurants on Lexington for a quick bite. On the next block up is the Chevron Trading Post [126] for all of your beading needs, and Tops for Shoes [127], the biggest shoe store in Asheville. While many wonderful stores and hot spots along this street are facing increasing pressure from landlords who want to "gentrify" the area, Lexington is still the best place to get a taste of Asheville's counterculture.
