Gene and Mariahsage chat under the endangered 100-year-old magnolia tree in front of Asheville City Hall this afternoon.

The land on which the old tree sits was sold under questionable, at best, practices of the county commission to a former business partner of one of the commissioners.

A gathering is being held every afternoon from 4-7 p.m. under the shade of the tree. All are welcome.

Come, join the people of the tree.
