In Swannanoa I drive by this lovely old house frequently when visiting a friend. Unfortunately the back of the building has add-ons and some problems from either poor upkeep or just structural damage. But the front has a neat Hispanic style that's quite rare in the western North Carolina area.
I introduced this house when construction first began in Black Mountain, on First St. right across from the Baptist Church, which is also where the Tailgate Market is held on the grounds behind the church!
Workers were busy at work on last Saturday, May 18, 2024 while I was at the market across the street.
Today's quote:
War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
-John F. Kennedy, 35th US president (1917-1963)
