Asheville

Asheville, North Carolina came in number ONE in Home Magazine's List of America's Best Eco-Neighborhoods.
Suuh-weet! That's right in the heart of the South and the Bible Belt - whooda thunk that progressive living could grow in those environs? There is hope for the country.

That's also where my sweet sister lives! Girl, go ride that bike lane to the farmer's market and get 'chu some organic veggies to celebrate.

Amazingly, there is no mention of Portland on the list at all. Looking at their criteria and their comments about each of the winners, I'm having a hard time finding anything that Portland doesn't have - in spades. Harrumph.

Additional thought: Could this all be Greg & Kelly's doing...?
