Asheville Emerges As One Of Best Places For Retirees

In this June 16, 2010 file photo, a rainbow forms over the City Hall building in Asheville, N.C. The idea of people who uproot and move when they retire conjures up images of warm, sunny Florida or Arizona. But some of the older members of the baby boom generation (the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964) are looking elsewhere, and a number of towns in cooler climates from Maine to Washington have become popular retirement destinations. Asheville has also merited mention in the lists of best places for retirees. <AP Photo/Asheville Citizen-Times, John Coutlakis, File>
