The Grove Park Inn. From the early 20th century until the Z-Day, the Grove Park Inn was the place where the wealthy stayed while vacationing in Asheville, NC. Everyone from F. Scott Fitzgerald to President Barack Obama had been a guest at the Grove Park. Artists, actors, diplomats, and industry giants had at some point called it their temporary home. But that was before the zombie apocalypse. Now, the five-story luxury lodge made of stone, brick, and wood is home to someone else. It is still unclear who that is. The fact is, he is heavily armed. Whispering Pines is being rebuilt, and so Jace "Long Pork" Stanford has nothing better to do than figure out who the newcomers are. Of course, only when he is not busy dealing with the ever-present Z-hordes.
