Its hard to know how to react when economic hardship strikes so close to home. Today the MountainXpress announces that they too are having to make adjustments to stay afloat in these hard times:

Sad Sad News, but as a community we can overcome this given enough time. On a happier note, Asheville is now home to the nation's first twitter-powered newspaper. Welcome to the Asheville Twaper – For the full story visit: Mountain Xpress: Our Twitter Manifesto
