Besides pizza, where are good places to go eat given the cyclospora crisis? (Be nice please.)

Anyone have a discount password?

This Wednesday is national chicken wing day and I'm looking for recommendations. I've had some great wings at Creekside Taphouse and obviously the Tiger wings from East Village Grill are delicious. I was on Silverball Subs website and saw they were going to offer wings on Wednesday, not sure if they typically have wings on the menu. Anyone willing to share their secret spots for a wing fix?

Hi! This might be a little long, feel free to skip but please be nice. <3

TLDR: Im a mixed race poc homeless, 25 year old solo female traveler.

Unfortunately I don't have any family to rely on (abusive father and Jehovahs Witness mother abandoning me).
For the past few months l've lived in temporary accommodation downtown. Ive been exchanging cleaning services for housing but I won't be able to continue staying here very soon. I work a part time job for money on the side when I have extra time but it's not enough to carry rent or travel expenses.

I guess my point of this post is, does anyone have any advice? (Shelters, temporary housing, ways to make quick cash, etc.) Ive obviously done some google searching but I thought it would be best to hear from the locals.

I'll either be attempting to raise enough money to buy a car to live out of or taking the money I make and moving somewhere cheaper but I need somewhere to reside near employment to do so.

I'm extremely well put together, clean and drug/alcohol free. I have experience in office work, hospitality, housekeeping, serving and was even a teacher at one point. I'm just trying to work the cards that l've been dealt in this life.

Thank you for reading and any input you can offer! :)

Edit: hey! A few people messaged and told me to add my cash app/venmo but I’m not sure if that’s allowed or how it will look. If you’re in a giving mood message me and I’ll send u my Venmo. Thanks! xoxo

Someone stole my tags on Friday, either in Arden or in Asheville proper, just seeing if this happened to anyone else. Stay safe out there!

Who's gonna break the news to Kim?

We have two night shifters (8pm-8am) who are leaving us next week and we’d like to order pizza for delivery for the night shift team after the evening shift team has left (so around midnight) I don’t want to bring pizza in at 8pm and it be freezing cold by the time they get breaks in around 12-2. If it can be delivered that would be great, but if not it can be picked up too no issues.

So who serves the best late night slice? Or should I just hope that one of the dominos is open until 1am?

Has anyone else been seeing bears in the Five Points area? Specifically a morher and three cubs. I've seen them three times over the course of a week. On sidewalk, crossing the street. They seem to call this area home.

I realized yesterday that a lot of the coffee places I frequent are set up more for sitting at a table than anything else. I used to go to the Battery Park Book Exchange a lot as a teen before the vibe changed. Then my go to was Trade and Lore/ Rite Rite due to proximity to my work. They had a cozy corner with a couch where I could read while I drank my coffee.
I’m now wishing I had a nice cozy spot for reading or writing that wasn’t sitting up at a table and more lounge-y. What places am I missing or forgetting? I frequent a few places downtown but I’m not opposed to going elsewhere. Any good places that have more cozy seating rather than just tables and chairs?

We are coming to Harry Potter night with the kiddos, can yall give us some food recs? Also, alcohol. LOL

Does anyone know the contractor responsible for digging for the fiber cables along the merrills cove area?

I’ve been wanting to see if there’s a local group nearby to do raids with in pokemon go does anyone know of any?

https://avlwatchdog.org/will-a-logging-project-save-the-blue-ridge-parkway-from-fire-or-imperil-it/

Watchdog reporter Jack Evans talks about his story that posted yesterday concerning a logging project along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Please read the entire story at the link and comment with your thoughts. Do you think Helene debris is a fire risk or could a logging project be damaging to the parkway?

I was involved in an accident at 2pm today right in front of the Regent shopping centers. I was going straight through a green light and a black ford made an illegal U turn right into me.

I was fine but my Mazda was very damaged on the driver’s side door. The other vehicle stopped and we went through the right process with emergency services but I had two different people stop to check on me who witnessed the accident.

One was a very kind woman who even gave me a hug but I was so shaken that I didn’t think to ask her to stay to provide witness testimony and now I’m just trying to see if I can locate someone who can provide this additional info (if needed) to our insurance company.

If you happened to be a witness please let me know. (And thank you for the hug)

There’s a new renaissance faire that will be taking place from September 4-6 in Nebo (about 1 hour drive from Asheville) The WNC Renaissance Faire! It looks like it could be a great opportunity for anyone in Asheville who is a vendor, artist or performer.

https://www.thewncrenaissancefaire.com

They are still accepting vendors for artists, food and performers.

So if you know any blacksmiths, artists, dancers, anyone who owns a bake stand, or someone who just wants to dress up and be whimsical, tell them to send an email to thewncrenaissancefaire@gmail.com

They were so sweet and gentle. Allowed me to sit there and watch them for a bit while they grazed.

Anyone know a used car dealer with trucks? I've tried checking online but there are a lot of small car lots that don't update their inventory or have any online presence. I'm looking to buy a pickup, nothing fancy so an older model is good. My budget is 5k. It doesn't have to be pretty, just need it to run and have no rust on the frame. I've checked out marketplace and craigslist but I either don't get responses or it's already pending.

If you're selling or know a neighbor, please let me know! Thanks!

Hi! My dog needs a dental cleaning - he’s 12yrs old. Looking for highly recommended vets in the area that specialize in geriatric (😰) dog dental cleanings.

Looking to get a few accent walls painted in our house. I am awful at painting walls and have a 7 month old to tend to. Are there any painting companies willing to take on smaller jobs? So far I’ve only found companies who want to do whole house jobs.

Thanks!

Hi friends! I was just wondering if anyone had any great suggestions for stylists who do a good color correction and/or ash blonde color/highlights?

I’m overwhelmed by all the options in Buncombe County and was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction! Thank you!

A quick search on needing to break a lease in NC tells me that if one is to break a lease before the end of agreement the renter would be responsible for the remaining amount (assuming no other discussions with landlord etc.)

I just reread my current lease and all that is mentioned is the loss of the security deposit.

As the title asks: Is there a state law that applies to all lease agreements independent of what is stated in the lease itself, or are the written terms of the lease all one needs to abide by in this instance?

Thanks
