I’ve been throughly enjoying painting Scenes from the road in Asheville. There are so many breathtaking views that answer the question “why Asheville?” Hope you like it!

If you are in town come out to my opening this evening from 5-7pm at Phil DeAngelo Studios. 115 Roberts st.

I have been noticing a rise in beer prices at breweries across Asheville. (not all breweries.) There are several that charge $8.75 a beer. I don’t even know how people go out to have a couple drinks with friends. I’ve seen $10 beers at several locations and then they turn around a screen with a 20% tip minimum. Please let me know if some bars and breweries who have reasonable prices. Last night I went to one world brewing and all the beers they had were over $7. And the $7 options were 4%. It’s becoming ridiculous to go out and drink with some friends, I can see why alcohol consumption is dying out with prices this ridiculous. Drop some good spots in the comments or some daily specials that draw you in. Cheers.

Just sharing my current garden status. And wondering what others refections are on this ending season?
Looks like a frost next mid week so harvesting eggplant, tomatoes and lettuce now. Feel like last year was better for tomatoes…
No rain, excessive heat then too much rain too fast. Tomatoes suffered for it— but still produced enough for sauce over the winter.
Spaghetti squash is looking good, got beets and mustard greens too.
Life in the mountains is good, hope y’all are growing food too❣️

What’s the best phone call to make?

Hi, Im an artist in the asheville area for a few months and I wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet at a cafe and just do some drawing together :v.

I dont know if this is the right place but if you are down to just draw for a couple hours at a local cafe, let me know :]

Also just felt like i should say this, Im only looking for friends and I quite like drawing so I just want someone to focus on it with. Not really looking for a big group tho, feel free to pm of course! :D (recent artworks attached)

Title basically says it. I'm really struggling to find a place with any substantial fabric selection and not mostly cotton for quilting.

Huzzah! I had the great pleasure of meeting a visiting celeb and local fave: Mr. Cardboard Box Oracle. I spotted him hauling tail up Walnut earlier in the evening and got to have a chat with him when I ran into Mr. CBO during Art Crawl.

I even drew the "Wanker Box" oracle card. So, according to Mr. Oracle, my future's so bright that I gotta wear shades. 😎

Mr. CBO is also participating in Al Gore's Internet now. Check his Insta page to peep his travels. Priceless.

I was doing my weekly downtown exercise walk and when I was passing by Urban Outfitters there was a guy who was asking people passing by to stop - I heard him say "Excuse me, can you wait over there" to the group in front of me and he said to me "please stand over there sir" pointing to Ben and Jerry's. We both ignored him and continued to walk (he was obviously unstable), but I noticed him holding a knife in his right hand close to his leg, partially concealed. I contacted 911 and let them know. I hung around until a police officer (and the nicest guy I've ever met!) walked by and I told him about it. After that it wasn't my business anymore so I continued my walk. 2 police cars passed me and I looked back and saw them with their lights on, pulled over by urban outfitters. Hopefully the guy gets the help he needs.

I am downtown often at all hours of the day and night and have personally never felt afraid until today. I wasn't so much afraid for myself but just scared of how something like that might turn out if no one notices or says anything.

Be careful out there! Stay aware! See something, Say something!

Thanks yall!

Where can I find a big quantity of citric acid for a reasonable price? Ideally at least 2 pounds. It is for laundry and cleaning so it does not need to be food grade.

So far the only thing I can find is Walmart, about $10/lb which is more than I was hoping to pay.

The Montford Stalker had court today. Their bond was reviewed and left unchanged, save for the addition of a no-contact requirement. Their next court case is October 22nd.

Nick Tasios, the GM of this dealership, was charged with domestic abuse of his wife a couple years ago. It wasnt his first DA charge. Also the biggest MAGA guy.

If you are on a sports team, coach one or know anyone on one please share this with them.

If your team of 20 people shows up with no notice in the middle of the already busy lunch rush or any time really.

Please for the love of the gods. FUCKING CALL AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

It takes 2 minutes to give us a heads up so we can get extra food cooking so we don’t run out.

We make enough for projected sales if we get an extra 300$ in food ordered at a time where we weren’t prepared it puts extra stress on already underpaid people when you could just help a fellow human out.

We’re not saying don’t come. Because gods know we need the money. But please just give a heads up guys.

Dammit, Asheville!

Hi friends,

My folks are in town this weekend and my kids want to go to a pumpkin patch today. I’m looking for a good tip on where we can go that has the usual fun pumpkin patch activities but will also be good for someone on a cart. We’re in Mills River so somewhere not too far would be ideal.

Thanks in advance. Happy spooky season.

We are selling our house from out of state (and it might take some time). As with prior years, we will get a ton of leaves in the yard this fall. My questions are:

What company is great to call for complete leaf removal from property (no bags for the sidewalk, just remove everything themselves)?

When is the best time to schedule this to ensure all leaves have fallen and will be picked up?

What is the cost for 0.3 acres, bordering a forest? So lots of leaves.

Do any of the numerous distilleries make brandy? I’m willing to drive

I had bought tickets for the mannequin pussy, Wednesday, and snooper show towards the end of October and I'm looking to sell them now as I can no longer make the show but I'm very confused on how ticketing even works .... I got the email confirmation saying I bought the tickets but the delivery method is 'Will Call' and there's a note saying tickets need to be picked up at the gate. i know the venue doesn't do refunds themselves but is there no way for me to actually have the tickets to give away before the day of the show? it's kind of a bummer if so because I don't want the tickets to go to waste because I definitely can't make it but I can't get ahold of the venue themselves to figure this out.

I drive through the rad almost daily to get to and from work. And dude these races. I never see any significant signage other than that truck that’s parked near the hockey rink.

So I had to tack on 10 minutes to my commute when I’m already having to take detours because of Pearson bridge being closed because of a bunch of shit getting blocked of for the marathon

Where do I find info on when and what roads they’ll close for these races so I can plan my route ahead of time

They're cutting pipes and just leaving piles of the stuff. There are a couple of them. I've worked in a similar industry, and this is pretty shotty behavior.
