Possible topics for editing
Asheville and WNC history
Charles Willing Beale, founder of Arden, appears to have a Spanish Wikipedia page (Charles Willing Beale) but not an English one. Huh!
Check out some of the red links on the page for Edward W. Pearson Sr.
Surely Stephens-Lee High School could use its own entry! See East End/Valley Street Neighborhood
Asheville-Weaverville Speedway needs citations & could be expanded using these sources:
- Thunder in the Mountains: The History of Racing in Western North Carolina (Asheville: National Motorsports Marketing & Productions, [2011])
- Fielden, Greg. Rumblin' Ragtops: The history of NASCAR's fabulous convertible division and speedway division (Pinehurst, NC: Galfield Press, 1990)
- Pierce, Daniel S. Mountain Thunder: Stock Car Racing in Buncombe County 1949-1999 (Asheville: West Asheville History Project, [2003])
