Asheville Argus:  The lay of the land

DOWNTOWN — A new year is time for re-examination. A post-holiday lull has settled over the city. After a season of excess and celebration, Asheville seems to be re-focusing to find that things continue to change and there is still work to be done. New police chief. New Civic Center. Same old streets.

For the first Argus post of 2012: A sort of base-line. Aggregated photos of the city itself. These are the buildings and the streets and the gutters and the dark alleys through which we’ll move toward 2013.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
