Almost a month ago, the Mountain Xpress reported that newspaper boxes were up and leaving their stations in downtown Asheville. Today, the MX has an update. Anoop Krishnan, a nice guy and conscientious citizen of the highest order, informed the newspaper that he saw a man and a woman hopping in and out of a city truck and throwing boxes into a trailer. When he confronted them, they told him publicationss had to pay the city to put up boxes. Higher-ups with the city have no clue what this is all about.
