Asheville held its first nuisance court session September 24. Luminaries like Mayor Terry Bellamy and Vice Mayor Jan Davis were on-hand to observe. It is hoped the court will encourage prostitutes, graffitists, trespassers, holders of open alcoholic beverage containers, and others to find less obtrusive means of whiling away the hours. The court allows convicted perps to exchange jail time for community service.
