1992 • Arden, NC 28704, USA
We moved to Asheville in 1992. I was only in Kindergarten. I grew up in the Arden/Skyland area and remember how green it was. Hendersonville road and Airport road were only 2 lanes. It was just a very peaceful area. Fast forward to 2019 - nothing but urban sprawl. A lot of greenery was removed to make way for wider roads and huge, ugly buildings.
