On a road trip last week, I went out of my way to stop in Tryon, a small town in SW North Carolina.

Why?
Had to check out the childhood home of #NinaSimone!

🎶 I knew the town has two major "attractions" that are worth seeing. But I learned about a third. All were engaging, making this side trip a highlight.

🎶 First, there is The Nina Simon Plaza, with a bronze likeness of her. More info and what is hidden inside in alt text.
