Moving on Up…Stairs in Boone, N.C.
Maggie Sherwood, the Appalachian State student who designs this publication, arrives at the new office.
Our Boone, N.C., team now has a new address and a new look! After three years leasing a charming old Georgian-style house right behind the Jones House Community Center, we are now in the midst of Boone’s bustling downtown in a second-story office space on King Street above Bald Guy Brew Cafe. Visitors can enter through the breezeway and take the stairs or elevator to come see our new digs. Stop by or send us a letter at 589 W. King St., Boone, N.C., 28607.
P.S. If you’re a Boone local interested in helping us distribute the paper to readers around the region, you will find our bimonthly volunteer nights still occuring at our former location at 171 Grand Blvd.
