I found Sage Turner openly musing about the ways that this developer could circumvent the council process and the public's will and get bridge permission or the access via Sleepy Hollow especially egregious.
It is so disheartening to see so many of these comments even after such a thoughtful, engaging article. People just love to make gross generalizations about groups of people who may be "different" from them- even if it is just geography. ❤️🩹
Quite the headline about GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards: "NC congressman hit another man with a clipboard at conference, Rotarian says."
Read my statement on today's victory for North Carolina voters. Today, we won.

The Pharoah Cicada’s have emerged in WNC’s Blue Ridge Parkway area, and my puppy has developed a new (but not encouraged) fondness for insect snacks. We are working on not letting the intrusive crunchy insect desires win out so that these handsome critters can live another day!

Following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene, In Asheville a project benefiting the music community of Madison County recorded and filmed in the gutted bones of the Old Marshall Jail. Sessions include poignant and uplifting performances by more than 30 Western North Carolina artists
Some communities here in WNC are still having to live in tents after their homes were swept away in Helene’s floods. Now having to evacuate fires because bone dry storm debris. Don’t make such heartless, derogatory comments because you assume everyone voted for Trump- many voted blue.
