Hello!

I’m trying to plan a dinner with my parents, but my mom is very hard of hearing (even with hearing aids) and it seems like every place we’ve been to recently has been so noisy she can’t easily hear our conversations unless my dad and I are essentially shouting (which isn’t ideal for us, or our neighboring tables). To clarify, it’s not music that’s too loud, it’s more so tables being crammed too close together and the overall “chatter” of the restaurant is too loud for her, if that makes sense.

Any recs? Something nice-ish but not crazy fancy/expensive?

Appreciate any good leads. Thanks for taking the time to read! 😊

My boyfriend, our dog and I (35m,2m,35nb) just moved to the area a few days ago. We have both all ready secured work, but are at a loss at where to stay until we can afford an apt. Neither of us use drugs or drink to excess, and we are very friendly and chill. Our dog is a trained service dog and such a good boy :) When we look up info about Pisgah national forest the GPS says something different about how long it takes to get to the disbursed camping every time. If anyone local has information about where its safe to park in Asheville or any of the neighboring areas where we won't be harassed by addicts or cops, please let us know. We would be forever grateful. 🙏

ive lived here my whole life, and i dont for the life of me know where to meet other gay women. ive tried dating apps, they kinda suck, and im way too broke/am entirely unable to go to bars and clubs and stuff. im 21, in blackmountain, and honestly just looking for some pussy to eat but romance would be a wonderful outcome too!

What is the easiest way to find full time jobs in Asheville with full healthcare benefits? I am looking for something that pays well, I have a B.S. degree from Western, looking for anything that will pay good and offer benefits ASAP. Help!

I help organize Asheville Transplants. It exists because moving here and knowing nobody is genuinely hard, and "just go to a brewery" isn't a plan. Free, about 590 people, and most of what we do costs nothing.
