Ok let me work on that. I'll start with the Biltmore Estate because it's the easiest.

I'm in Greenville a lot. I race with the South Carolina Region SCCA.

I'm having LOTS of trouble finding the other pics. Guess Biltmore Estate is all you get for now.

Can't believe the Kauffman house in Bear Run beat out this beauty. This is Fallingwater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. WOW!!!

The Gates House:

And the ways in which the house incorporates technology are legend: Regular visitors are given electronic lapel pins, for example, that let the house's entertainment and climate-control systems know where they are at all times, so that music, temperature, and other features can be tailored to their preset preferences. One question: Does Gates have a master remote?

Wow, can you imagine being so rich, so filthy freakin rich, that you would have people think this shit up? Can they adopt me? Please?

Anybody visited these? I live five minutes from Number 10.

My sister goes to UNC-Asheville! She is on the volleyball team, just named captain, she will be a junior next year! We took pics of the Biltmore this summer when I visited her!

Toured Hearst Castle...tried to imagine what it was like there in it's prime. The place is impressive...but just think about the lifestyle they lived. I'm okay with it though, they never had a Cobra. :beer:

Frank Lloyd Wright was a genious to say the least!! His work was beyond fantastic. I think I am a direct decendant of his. That would explain my geniousness lmao. J/K.
