The stream restoration and rain garden project at Malvern Hills Park and West Asheville Park is moving along quite nicely. The plans are complete and we are waiting on our permits and we are in the process of selecting a contractor to do the work. We hope the work will begin around the first of October and we are planning to hold several volunteer activities such as planting trees and removing invasive species as the project progresses. As part of the contractor selection, we wanted to allow nei… Continue

hi fellow westsiders - it is Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2009, 11:34AM and there is a stink upon us. can anyone help me figure out what it is? - it is very sulphur-ish. some have told me on humid, hazy days it travels from the West paper mills ... others insist there is a landfill near us that has just been stirred up. regardless, i hate it, wish it would die and go away. thank you for your help. kc Continue

I posted some pictures that I took at the sixth annual Montford Music & Arts Festival on May 16th 2009. Hope you enjoy them. I couldn't find a NING.COM website about the MONTFORD neighborhood. I thought I would present these photographs on our WEST ASHEVILLE site. Continue

Is anyone missing a very sweet brown puppy? She looks to be about 6 months old and had a collar and a very wet leash on when my neighbor found her on Beverly Road early this morning but no ID.

Interesting that we'd nurture community on line but I thing this is really a great beginning. I'm a member of the Haywood Rd. Coop Market and there's an owner's potluck this Sunday that I'm looking forward to going to! I just moved to West Asheville from Holland MI...to be by my mom and many siblings but also to get out of West Michigan's CLOUDY CLOUDY winter that stretches for 6 solid months. (It's not the snow that I mind so much as the dark gloomy clouds!) This is a beautiful place. And I'm… Continue

We met this Monday, Aug 25 at the West Asheville Library room to discuss whole Haywood Road vision. To be honest, I'm less interested in the whole zoning issue as i don't own a business and haven't educated myself about what zoning means (There are 8 types of commercial zone?), but i was mostly there for curiosity and to familiarize myself with the whole idea of neighborhood.
