Pitchfork reviews the Pope's LP, awards it a score of 3:16.

"Chill Pope, the leader of 1.2 billion people, urges you to accept this weird-ass album as your spiritual Genesis, your graceless way of saying Yes."

I?m a big fan of ?snow could be heavy at times.? Yes, it could be. If the high-end of the snowfall forecast pans out, it will have snowed 266 inches ? or more than 21 feet ? in six days. Snowfall rates could easily reach 6 inches per hour Tuesday and Wednesday.

North Carolina citizenry defeat pernicious Big Solar plan to suck up the Sun
Town council votes to deny zoning permit that would allow solar farm development.

Quote
The citizens of Woodland, N.C. have spoken loud and clear: They don't want none of them highfalutin solar panels in their good town. They scare off the kids. "All the young people are going to move out," warned Bobby Mann, a local resident concerned about the future of his burg. Worse, Mann said, the solar panels would suck up all the energy from the Sun.

Another resident?a retired science teacher, no less?expressed concern that a proposed solar farm would block photosynthesis, and prevent nearby plants from growing. Jane Mann then went on to add that there seemed to have been a lot of cancer deaths in the area, and that no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer. ?I want information," Mann said. "Enough is enough."

The research triangle is a great place to visit/live. The rest of the state is Kentucky.

I'd hardly compare Asheville to Kentucky. Although I've never been to Kentucky, so maybe there is someplace in Kentucky with great beer, great food, and great outdoor activities.

this says it all
In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama won the entirety of Buncombe County with 55% of the vote
Asheville is a city in and the county seat of Buncombe County, North Carolina

for it's physical location, I was very surprised
Ok NC you're back on the list

Asheville and the Research Triangle are nice.

and Wilmington's a decent place to stop for a night or two. the battleship is cool.

the rest of the rest of the state should be forgotten.
