Hi All,

I’m sorry if this gets asked a ton, I didn’t find much when searching. My husband, I and our two young children are visiting this weekend for a wedding. I’d love to hear your favorite restaurants.

We really like BBQ, especially smoked wings, so if you have any recs there that’d be great. However, we’re pretty open to all food genres, let me know what’s your go-to.

We’ve received estimates from Four Seasons and Blue Planet, but we’d like to get at least one more before deciding. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There is a barely-used Hwy 55 building near the Walmart in Weaverville. (It lasted about 10 minutes there.)

I see Whataburger is opening a new outlet in AVL, in an old Bojangles out around Candler.

Weaverville needs a repurposed Hwy 55. Whataburger? Cook Out? We need options, people.

Somewhere you can fill up a 7 gallon container.

Its getting really hot sitting in the car all day (homeless) and I need a good source to fill my water container.

Last Tuesday city council passed more police surveillance through the use of expanding flock cameras, body cameras, etc. through a contract with Axion that supports their "real time intelligence center"

Please push back on this decision, it was passed by every council person except Kim Roney.

If you live in Asheville proper and vote for city council: ashevillenccouncil@ashevillenc.gov - this goes to all city council members.

If you are NOT in Avl proper, you can still contact other representatives, such as county commissioners: https://www.buncombenc.gov/705/County-Commissioners - example: Drew Ball is running for City Council. Where does he stand on this??

You can send something such as:

Dear City Council and/or County Commissioners,

I am shocked and dismayed at the nearly unanimous vote to pass more surveillance in Asheville at Tuesday's City Council meeting. Surveillance across political lines is not favorable and I am failing to see how our local representatives are doing anything to protect our community members from government overreach.

No public input was taken into account and dozens of organizations have publicly denounced what was passed. This very much will influence who I vote for in upcoming elections and almost all of you have lost my vote and confidence.

If there is anything you can do to reverse this vote, I encourage you to do so. Many of us who you allegedly represent are extremely upset by this action.

You can also sign this petition that consolidated all those again this: https://www.change.org/p/reverse-asheville-city-council-s-decision-on-axon-s-surveillance-tech

Last Plug - Kim Roney is running for Mayor and was the only council member to vote No. Her campaign needs help. You can sign up for volunteer through her website.

ETA: Found someone :)

I'm hoping to find a reputable, experienced, reliable person to pick up our new cat at the Atlanta airport and bring them here to Woodfin in the early morning of the 28th of May.

Alternatively, pickup in Blue Ridge, GA on the 29th or 30th.

Will pay $350+ for the right person.

Recommendations?

Thanks!

hey real asheville reddit :)

one of my employees has a beautiful rescue pup about a year old. he was found on the side of the highway last year in a shopping cart. little bear was hit by a car a little over a week ago, and alex, my employee and friend could use real support in paying for his vet bills. little bear is okay and recovering well.

in addition, alex is being hit with the triple whammy of 2026 firehorse energy… he just lost his housing situation and his head gasket blew in his car. if anyone has a van they would be willing to sell, he’s looking to feed two birds with one scone and convert to van life.

he’s working tonight if you want to say hi and give little bear some healing pets 🤍 thank you for being an awesome community of caring people and thank you for reading.

Looking for a commercial kitchen that would be willing to let a group of volunteers come in and cook for 2-3 hrs once a week for our free meal distribution.

We are averaging 125-180 meals on Wednesdays. our process and team could run more efficiently if we could cook in one place.

Anyone know of any spaces that would like to work out some kind of trade?

Check your receipts carefully! Policy is if an item rings up incorrectly, the customer is to be refunded the entire cost of the item, including any tax. Not simply the difference, refunded plus you still get the item. I’ve only ever this issue for items on sale.

Management is either willfully ignorant or woefully unaware of this policy. It’s your choice to shop there but protect your pocket from these crooks.

I have an extra ticket to see Gianmarco Soresi tonight at 8 at the Orange Peel. My friend had to cancel last minute, and I'd rather go with someone than go alone.
