Sand Hill Elementary, schools out... cars go in and out like clockwork

With the small layout of space that they have over here in this West Buncombe Elementary School, they do wonders. The cars go through a type of maze, you call your kids name out at one place, you go around a little circle and your child is out there waiting. Great school and great staff. One of the benefits of living in Buncombe County. Also a pic of some students taking the flag down for the evening. Check out the Western North Carolina mountains in the backround of this bottom photo. Beautiful!

Buncombe County Building Inspectors Truck

I know some of these guys are wondering where their 4x4's are in this County. I know contractors who can hardly get to some of their jobsites without a giant 4 wheel low, so I do not know how they do it.

New Bridge Baptist Church in North Buncombe

Well technically it is right outside the Asheville City limits, and a nice property positioned well with a great group of people who care about the community.
