It seems like every day I leave the house I have to fear for my life on the road. People barreling through red lights, turning into oncoming traffic without looking, backing out of parking spaces as fast as they can, weaving through stop and go traffic, blocking intersections, etc… I swear it seems bad drivers have multiplied ten fold since Nov 5th and I can’t imagine why such a correlation would exist.

Hey everyone. I'm a local builder who just went nonprofit. We already had a housing problem, but now it's time to fix it.

I am bringing the price of building down through various creative ways. I can get into it if you'd like.

I am in search of families that need help. I know there is no shortage, but interviewing people is a full time job. If I can get some through word of mouth, it speeds things up. Please LMK. Thanks!

Anyone know of any NA type meetings that meet on Sundays? Thanks!

Wondering if Carrier Park, particularly to the left of State St, is open for walking. I've seen cars in the parking lots near the velodrome, but didn't know if all/most of the paths are cleared.

Need me some non alcoholic cherry cider I can buy in town. Ty!

Fuck you Tyler!

Does anyone in the 12 step programs know if there is an active Recovering Couples Anonymous in or around the area? That program literally saved my spouse's and my marriage at one time TIA

ETA: It really is a thing. There used to be an active Asheville group about 10 years ago, apparently. I understand the 12 steps are not for everyone, but this is an extension off the AA/NA/Alanon programs. I was surprised at how comforting it was to know we were not alone in our relationship issues - and how many laughs we had when hearing someone relay experiences similar to ours. Here's the link for anyone curious. https://recovering-couples.org/

I have some items I can donate that could be of use to a recording studio I thought I’d try this before I donated them through ReString Appalachia

https://americansongcatcher.com/restringappalachia/

I have a normal bottom lip and absolutely no top lip - I'd love to fill out the top for a more even and natural appearance. I don't wanna go cheap but I'm not sure what good places charge. Anyone know costs or have recommendations?

Anyone in the area make or sell? 6 year old has it on his list.

Hey y'all!

I've had the same record player for years - Pioneer from 1972. Unfortunately, I think the motor is giving out on it :( I can't listen to records without some crazy variable speeds throughout. I don't touch the speed pots while it's playing, and I've played multiple records to rule out warping. Plus, the variables in pitch happen inconsistently, so I can pretty much entirely rule out record defects.

Does anyone in the Asheville area work on vintage record players? I know it's rather niche, but I have a lot of sentimental value tied up in this player and I would really hate to toss something that's totally fixable. I'm not worried about a long drive - just thought I'd put out feelers.

Thank you!

My son is visiting and I want him to feel welcomed as I am a married mostly straight woman that doesn’t really drink I don’t know much about gay clubs but if anyone knows of a good one around here please let me know! Just want to give him fun recommendations so he’ll visit more often❤️

Anyone got any recommendations? Hendo and brevard are doable as well.

Curious if anyone's driven that area. (I know it's technically in Black Mountain but I'm in Asheville and this Asheville sub has a lot of good post-Helene intel so)

Pretty much what the title says. The wife loves the old Playboy/Hustler models and magazines. Any place in town that might sell them?

ETA: I am a local.

Niece (11) & nephew (14) live out of state.

Looking for hyper local gifts from family owned businesses, or local solopreneurs, to put money directly in the hands of local business owners.

Id like to get my nephew an Asheville tee and/or AVL baseball hat.

And a bracelet from a local jeweler/jewelry maker (she’s only 11 & extremely active).

Suggestions for adults, also?

Tried to go to the PF in Arden this morning but it’s closed due to severe flooding. Anyone know what happened?

Hey guys, Arden resident - anyone know a place to get a Christmas tree closer to the airport / Brevard road area?

Went to boyds last year but tunnel road is a bit far for me to transport in a Jetta lol

Update: We are overwhelmed with the number of responses and will get back to folks when we're able. If anyone can help with pickup and delivery please reach out.

Hello! I run a vintage furniture company with my partner and we are helping some families who lost everything. We can help pickup in the Asheville area but please nothing water damaged, smoke smelling, or broken. It's just the two of us so may take a bit to get back to you and appreciate any leads and help. Thank you all ❤️

Does anyone have contact/info on heaters still available, leftover from FEMA or any agency? There are some families needing them. I’ll head to Lowe’s today but wanted to check on this too.

Hey! So I'm learning to operate a woodstove to supplement heating because our hvac broke and with everything going on I haven't been able to afford a repair bill. I heard the arboretum had a bunch of trees taken down and would be distributed to be used as firewood. But does anyone know where or when? I'm willing to pay I just don't know a bunch about firewood heating

Are they paying well or am I better off selling on discogs? Just wanted to see if anyone had any recent experience

Hey all, I’m a musician in Asheville and after the hurricane, I left to stay with some family in Raleigh. I’m coming back to Asheville tomorrow to resume work and wanted to know if open mics are happening? I haven’t make music in almost 2 months and I’m just itchy to sing. Thank y’all ❤️
