And there were fun stores with fun stuff in them:

And stores that had magazines such as: the Laurel of Asheville, Arts & Culture, Local Food Guide (100 pages), Inner Change - Living in Purpose, Western North Carolina Woman, and Breathe - inspiring active women.

and well, what can i say?  They designate areas for graffiti artists to use, yes, instead of arresting them, they allow them to do it in places that bring life to the area:

Maddie's first album cover - too bad we didn't carry a guitar with us.

and funny posted stuff:

and costume shops with lots of shoes:
