Here's another instance of
RENAISSANCE: the depressed city of Asheville, N.C. attracts upscale BARS, and now it's
REVIVED -- which means it has no downtown department stores or sizable retailers of any kind, no big office employers, no industry, lots of poverty -- but it does have tons of "
hip" BARS.
Meantime, not far from this
RENAISSANCE,
real people have trouble making ends meet.
