Overlooking downtown Asheville, North Carolina, from a vista in the city’s hilly East End neighborhood, DeWayne Barton points to a tall gray-and-white tower under construction.
“At the top [end of the price range], you’ll pay $750,000 to live in that building,” he says.
That future high rise is being constructed on the same ground as quarters for enslaved people who spent their bondage serving guests in one of the city’s hotels before the Civil War.

As soon as Lent arrives, I begin to crave fried fish. It s a conditioned response - not unlike Pavlov s dog and that bell - that stems from years of living in a predominantly Catholic city where on Fridays during the solemn season, churches and community groups fry thousands of fish fillets to raise money for nonprofit groups and feed the faithful - or anyone who loves the crispy plate.

Villarosa, now ninety years old, says she’s thrilled to be back in Denver. “I love the city,” she says. “I love the people. And I loved being a bookseller. The light in the children’s eyes when they saw the books. They were pretty, they were well-illustrated, and [the characters] looked like them.”
Villarosa’s Hue-Man Experience bookstore had a notable run at the edge of Five Points, at Champa Street and Park Avenue West. That successful store inspired local readers from its inception in 1984 until Villarosa sold it in 2000 and moved to Harlem in New York City to be near her daughters and grandchildren. She opened a new location there under the same name.
