Asheville Urban Trail
A basket of apples balanced over wagon wheels recalls a time when produce markets and livery stables lined Lexington Avenue, precursors to today’s tailgate markets throughout the city. Double doors up and down Lexington ~ originally known as Water Street ~ flag buildings once used for stabling horses and gathering in produce. (Artist: Black Mountain sculptor Julia Burr.)
