Posted: May 7, 2012 at 5:34 a.m.
Mathew Jay, left, looks over floor plans Thursday for a new location for the Fayetteville Underground with MM Kent at the Underground’s booth during the First Thursday event on the Fayetteville square. The Underground is requesting $60,000 from the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission and is looking to move into the GCM Building at the corner of Mountain Street and Block Avenue.
A months-long search for a home for the Fayetteville Underground has produced a new option for the local artists’ collective.
