Forest City and Spindale deserve MX

I would think that listening to your thousands of customers and potential advertisers in the Forest City/Spindale market would be something you would take to heart as it pertains to the distribution of Mountain Xpress [“Come Back, MX,” Feb. 18].

Steve Neely and his wife, Carol, are savvy small-business owners who have the pulse of their community—two towns that are both dynamic and progressive and one that you seemingly consider to be a fringe area.

While I doubt your advertisers derive any positive impact from distribution in “out locations” like Andrews, Cherokee, Greenville and Columbia, delivery in Forest City and Spindale makes good business sense. Not only do you have Plum Natural Market and Barley’s, but other locations come to mind—like The Foundation at ICC, the Student Center at ICC, the lobby of WNCW-FM. There you have it! Five locations and counting.

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.
