Events in Asheville This Week

Photo is of our youngest and cutest speaker at the UNCA End the Occupation Rally on March 20,2008. They are standing in the torn up area in front of Vance Monument. This area has been torn up for almost three years, and I fail to understand why they cannot finish this project. I expect it to look horrible when they are done.

REALLY well done visual/audio on the Reading of the Names by the Vets for Peace on March 18,2008. THANK you, Mountain Express for doing this.
