From my story about the LaZoom bus in today’s Asheville Citizen-Times:

Over the last six years, the LaZoom’s merry cast of performers — and giggling riders — have become part of the fabric of Asheville’s vibrant downtown scene. So, too, has LaZoom’s distinctive purple bus, complete with rococo-inspired gold moldings that set off the windows.

That bus has been well-used, so owners Jim and Jen Lauzon recently bought a second bus that will hit city streets in about a week. The arrival of the new bus marks a milestone in one of Asheville’s zaniest small businesses. …

The LaZoom comedy bus tour will celebrate the addition of a new bus in typical fashion — with a rolling party. Join owners Jim and Jen Lauzon beginning at 4 p.m. Nov. 5 at Dirty Jack’s on Buxton Street for a 25-minute ride on their new purple flagship.
