label: Description (Brief)
content: "I spent a long weekend right outside Ashville, North Carolina learning straw-bale house construction by day and sleeping in a rain-filled tent by night. On the way home to Washington, DC, I stopped in Galax, a town known for its music festival. At 8 a.m. all I found was a whole bunch of antique stores selling beenie babies [sic], one shop selling fiddles (with a new neon sign), a vacant law office with wood panelling and abandoned water cooler, people riding a skateboard ramp provided by the city, a store in an alley that offered money-wiring services to Central America, a plywood factory operating at full-steam, and two diners. I chose one outside of town. Here we have orange cake with vanilla icing and my coffee. 8-98" Made by Cynthia Connolly
