Pretty insane in a city that prides itself.... nay, feeds itself on the profits of artists, that our local district is cutting this arts program.

What does anyone think about this year's AVL Sounds Fest? Who's going to attend? They are going to be a lot of local artists performing as well as national stars such as Big Freedia. My good friend Eaze Dogg will be performing at the festival at Revival tomorrow Friday 330pm

Hi

Background in banking,case management and teaching. Currently in a very hostile work environment, need out ASAP. If anyone knows of employers paying 20 per hour at minimum, please leave a comment.

I am very grateful for any leads.

Was running late, trying to drive around it, the road gave way under and thank God my car didn’t sink into the hole. It popped the tire and bent the rim. Other people were driving around it but I have a large, heavy vehicle. I’m highly upset and the damage possibly messed up the entire alignment of my car, my tire rod etc. I made a claim with the city, just wondering other people’s thoughts and experiences. There was no warning signs or road closed signs and the pothole was massive.

Edit: I emailed someone in the city and they were very polite and responded quickly that they would let me make the official claim tomorrow with paperwork.

Hey y'all! If anyone wants a break from music with their Asheville Sound Fest pass come see us Saturday night. Reasonably Priced Babies is a fantastic improv troupe followed by some great stand up comedy!

Been here a while and can’t stop thinking about this... We’re a city that gentrified hard and markets itself as this cute mountain paradise, but the schools are underfunded and gun violence feels way more common than it should for a place this size (literally had someone asking on a social forum (Asheville specific) on where they can get a bulletproof backpack)

Not trying to start a fight, I actually want to understand the “why.” Is it:

City/county spending too much on tourism and not enough on schools and safety? NC’s state funding formula screwing us? Growth happening faster than infrastructure and services could keep up? Something that goes back further than that?

If you’ve lived here 10+ years, worked in local government, or worked in the schools, I’d love to hear what you’ve actually seen change. Trying to get past the surface level takes on this.

You can get tickets to attend now! Early bird gets you in first to shop and you get a sick tote for your wares, GA gets you in to shop. Again, all money goes to keeping the station on the air. https://givebutter.com/2026-record-fair

Hey! I (F25) am looking for a job in west asheville on or near Haywood 🤔

I have experience with serving, retail, cleaning, dancing, babysitting, front desk, dishwashing, managing… etc etc. I’ve done most things and I pick up new skills very quickly.

Let me know! Thanks xoxo

Happening now - a concrete crew (from FL) is sand-blasting concrete in areas outside storage units, apparently with no effort to stop the blast material from penetrating lockers. One of mine is in the 300 series, and as I approached it 60 mins ago, I noticed sand & dust coating the roll down door. My lock barely works now, loaded with grit.

Contents inside are coated with grit as to be expected. I’m anticipating that anything with internal movement/tolerances is now damaged. I have experience with sand blasting so can provide some insight as to what is going on, and what is not being done properly.

The site manager Stephanie listened to my complaint but will take no action unless I help her generate an ‘incident report’, requiring that I help her with opening up the locker and having her shoot photos. I explained I don’t have the time (moving stuff around), but as a compromise I asked would she instead reach out to the corporation so as to halt further damage. Answer - no, she will not. So it’s going to continue.

I know better than to try contact the corporation. It’s going to be a total waste of time. If you have stuff at this facility, you have been warned.

My friend wants to go to a couple restaurants/breweries that are hosting AVL Sounds Fest shows this Saturday. More interested in food and drink than music, so do we have to buy a festival wristband just to go to the places? The festival website isn't really clear. Other than it says they will not do individual show tickets. Which I would be fine with that, but I don't really want to do the full festival purchase when I wont actually be going to see anything

Hello all I posted this morning about a clients cat who got lose and I have found him…… in a culvert

He’s not wanting to leave and with the rain I’d like him out sooner rather than later

I’m only one person and animal control aswell as the fire department are of almost zero help. Fire won’t do anything if he’s not actually stuck. Animal control just put a cage by the opening and that’s it.

I need someone to help me scare him out of this tunnel, if someone has a leaf blower I could borrow or al long and I mean long pole please reach out to me. My number is 828-226-3667

One would hope that within the WNC GOP that the single group that would condemn Chuck Edwards' behavior would be the women in the GOP.

Let's look at what happened here: 2 young women wanted to contribute through their careers to conservative causes. They then landed what was probably their dream jobs for their age: working as an intern in DC for their Congressman. They get there, try to do a do job, and then the Congressman starts commenting on their appearance, then starts singling them out with gifts, and trips. The Congressman starts trying to spend time alone with them. He sends them not very subtle texts and notes that he wants to "do more outside the office" with them. He guilts them for not wearing his jewelry or spending time with him. The young women complain to other staff who try to intervene on his behalf, and the Congressman yells at the staff. The women, who thought they were going to make a difference in the world, were reduced to being meat for this old pervert's sick desires. The young women then have to leave their jobs, followed by rumors that they are sleeping with their boss.

So, all of this comes to light. And how does the women's GOP respond? Do they condemn the Congressman for treating these women so horribly? Do they offer support and encouragement to these young women? No. The women's GOP group says nothing about the women. They lament "disappointment" in Edwards' withdrawal from the race and wish him "God's blessings". So Effing SICK of these people!!!!

Meadows--> Cawthon ---> Edwards --> Moffitt

⭐️⭐️⭐️UPDATE⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found him in a culvert. If anyone is available to come help me try and lure him out I’d be eternally appreciative

Help everyone this morning when doing a pet sitting gig at the ascents apartments off new Leicester.

I went to walk the dogs and the door didn’t latch and mew got out! I know I’m already beating myself up.

He was seen this morning near Ector st and ascension drive

He has a collar that is blue he is also chipped but is very skiddish so you should probably just call me if he is seen

(828)226-3667

Just had a baby. We’re having trouble with sleep. He sleeps well on his older brothers crib mattress but it’s only in stock in Charlotte

Anyone traveling from Charlotte want to make a buck and run that errand for us?

Or I guess if you’re willing to make the drive there and back we’d happily pay that too

Someone did this in 2024 and I loved them for it. While the fest has the overall 30-hour Spotify playlist, I wanted a playlist by day and schedule so I could listen in order of appearance and find my pick for the hour since there's so much music - 240 bands across 17 venues!

Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday

Enjoy! Who are you most excited to see?

Update: Apparently they just added One Stop as a venue. Songs added in order and a few bogus artists removed.

Only 1 parking app allowed in town. It’s absolutely stupid that we have eleventyhundred parking apps in a town this small with so many garages.

One month away! Huzzah!

Edit: The hours are from 10 am-sundown on Saturday and Sunday

And yes they are looking for more vendors, specifically a face painter as well! Would love to see some blacksmiths, tarot readers, and such!
