Florist Shop Blooms in Downtown Mars Hill
Sprays of color fill a tiny room. Flowers flow out of vases and pots. It looks like spring exploded indoors. A voice comes strong and bold from behind the counter, "What can I help you with?" The accent belongs to the flower lady, Lisa Brown, native to Germany and owner of the Mars Hill Florist.

The Sound of Silence:
A Look Inside the Coleman Boundary
New, clean air has a trace of the musky odor of an old forest. Giant pines give an aura of age and time, and the stream running by gives a gratifying sound of solitude. Boulders appear from nowhere; covered in moss, they seem to emerge from the floor of the forest. This is the Coleman Boundary.
