A blighted area of rundown turn of the century industrial buildings and warehouses beside the river becomes a hub of creativity as artists and restaurants and a brewery move in. What a lovely idea.

I was sad that I didn’t get a chance to go to Asheville Bookworks, but that is an excuse to visit Asheville again.
