Sen. Tom Apodaca operates above both his constituents and other politicians -- literally. He and his wife, Lisa, have moved to a downtown, second-floor condominium in Hendersonville that is featured in the latest edition of Carolina Home + Garden magazine.
The cover photo shows Lisa Apodaca on the covered porch -- "a lush, secluded oasis that is the most popular 'room' in the house," the article says -- along with the couple's English bulldog, "Raleigh."
"Lisa was smart," joked Senate Republican Leader Phil Berger, "she had the dog in the photo, not Tom."
A sunglasses-bedecked Tom Apodaca, though, appears in the photos with the article, which quotes an interior designer declaring that porches are making a comeback.
The building, built in the 1880's, once housed the first telephone exchange in Hendersonville.




Re: Apodaca's high level politics
The Apodaca's home is beautiful; and Raleigh, the bulldog, is as tenacious as is the Senator. Thanks, Tom for not serving "above" the people of NC, but for the people of NC.
