The front yard trampoline. Karma will see it that Emery demands one when he's five.
Out of control development. Vegas style and closer to home in Buncombe County.
The ubiquitous billboard. Most commonly found along interstates, suburban mall highways, or near heavily commercial tourist traps. Places author
James Howard Kunstler referred to as theGeography of Nowhere, USA.
This, just because it happens to be Wild Card weekend in the NFL playoffs. A decent chunk of NBC's broadcast team is simply awful. John Madden and Chris Collinsworth...make it stop. And what kind of football credibility could Matt Millen possibly have? Someone should lose their job as a result of putting this group together.
Just for you, Jackie.
Greer, South Carolina is located about 45 min. south of
Asheville in an area of SC referred to as the Upstate. There is a Kia auto dealership in Greer that puts out painfully annoying TV and radio ads. Besides the repetitive shouting of "Kia of Greer" throughout the spot, the viewer is also bombarded by the volume of these commercials which is at least twice as loud as whatever show you happened to be watching at the time.

Thanks for your comments about the cars holding up our river banks in Bryson City. You n, they have been there since the late 40's or 50's and over time they have served their purpose. We have some pretty serious floods and if the cars were not there we would have lost that section of US Hwy 19 long ago.
Instead of pointing out the obvious, we know they are UGLY, we could use some constructive recommendations on what to put there in its place.
Meantime, do we leave them up and what could grow over the carcasses to cover up the really ugly cars? Do we take them out, starting a chain reaction of silt and who knows what kind of toxic petroleum would go into the river? If we take them out what do we put in tis place? An, the million dollar questions, where do we get the money to do this? We are a very poor county where about 80 percent of our county lies within Federal Gov't hands, thus a very small tax base where the majority of our population are low income and work in the seasonal tourist industry.
See, its easy to criticize without knowing the facts. But we would appreciate your suggestions.
CAllison. Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry you found my post critical. At first glance, I found the "facts" to be pretty obvious, i.e. Swain Co. used cars to hold a riverbank in place. A bad decision made long ago. Is it too late to point out that building roads along a flood plain isn't the best idea either? The riverbank needs trees and plant life. While I'm not a big fan of those who litter, I'm laughing with y'all, not at you.
