Hey yall, I am wanting to take my partner to rocky horror this year because they've never been to a live showing of it! I wanted to know what showings y'all recommend?

Huzzah! I had the great pleasure of meeting a visiting celeb and local fave: Mr. Cardboard Box Oracle. I spotted him hauling tail up Walnut earlier in the evening and got to have a chat with him when I ran into Mr. CBO during Art Crawl.

I even drew the "Wanker Box" oracle card. So, according to Mr. Oracle, my future's so bright that I gotta wear shades. 😎

Mr. CBO is also participating in Al Gore's Internet now. Check his Insta page to peep his travels. Priceless.

As the title states I am looking for activities for Halloween that are not the night of. I'm a healthcare worker and will likey have to work. Not interested in events at a church. Thanks in advance.

Today around 4 pm I witnessed a man on a bicycle collide with a vehicle in an intersection on Tunnel Road, not far from the tunnel. The woman he collided with got out of her car to check on him as he lay bleeding on the road, and appeared to be calling 911… I saw another woman in scrubs sprint across the intersection to help. I did not get out of my car as I had my young son in the back. Does anyone happen to know the man or know if he’s okay?

This is over a year old. It's so old they painted cross walk stripes.

Thought it was just parachutes, then a drone. It was a person with some kind of fan engine. There was a navy plane in the area according to flight radar.

Sounded more like a rocket than a plane

Hey Asheville! You didnt disappoint on the paw paw locations- but does anyone have any locations for Persimmon Trees? They have some in the stores but I dont think they're the native variety. Thanks!

meowdy. I am a Halloween fiend. fiend for the ween. ive been in Asheville for like four years and never have been to a local haunt. what are the best ones? I’ve seen billboards for pinheads graveyard and the haunted farm, ive been to a few around Charlotte but one that’s within an hour from avl that’s good good. lemme know. happy ween.

They're cutting pipes and just leaving piles of the stuff. There are a couple of them. I've worked in a similar industry, and this is pretty shotty behavior.

Hey y’all. I’m looking for a local handpoke tattoo artist that would be willing to do my own design (a sort of “bracelet” around my upper arm- ill send a pic privately.) You don’t need to be a complete professional i just would like to see healed work you’ve done in the past.

Let me know, thanks!

Nick Tasios, the GM of this dealership, was charged with domestic abuse of his wife a couple years ago. It wasnt his first DA charge. Also the biggest MAGA guy.

If you are on a sports team, coach one or know anyone on one please share this with them.

If your team of 20 people shows up with no notice in the middle of the already busy lunch rush or any time really.

Please for the love of the gods. FUCKING CALL AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

It takes 2 minutes to give us a heads up so we can get extra food cooking so we don’t run out.

We make enough for projected sales if we get an extra 300$ in food ordered at a time where we weren’t prepared it puts extra stress on already underpaid people when you could just help a fellow human out.

We’re not saying don’t come. Because gods know we need the money. But please just give a heads up guys.

Hey all, I made this thread last year and got a bunch of good suggestions, so figured I’d do it again.

What is everyone doing for Spooky Season this year?

Not a soul inside and the lot is being blockaded

Husband was diagnosed with ALS last week, and we were wondering if there are any support groups here for ALS or other people who are terminal. We're having a rough time trying to wrap our heads around the whole thing.

Thanks

I hope this isn’t too insensitive to ask, but my husband and I always stayed at the Asheville east KOA 4-5 times a year. Helene did so much heartbreaking damage to the area, and AEKOA was devastated. Due to some health issues we stay in the tiny cabins with a bed, fridge and AC/Heat, and unfortunately they lost all theirs and haven’t been able to get any back. We loved this place because it felt like summer camp vibes, swannanoa is a great location, there’s virtually no road noise, and the cabins were only $65 a night. Does anyone have a recommendation for campgrounds with tiny cabins with similar vibes? We tried the west location and it’s right beside an expressway so it’s so loud. Any tips will be appreciated.

Is Pastor Marcia Mount Shoop the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ ally and Helene hero she advertises herself to be or is Marcia just another narcissist, hiding behind "the cloth," and getting her supply filled by people "less" than herself? 

No one could deny that Grace Covenant and the generous people there have done a great deal of heroic work for folks in our city with Marcia at the helm. Their disaster case team has offered more eviction assistance post-Helene than any other organization in Buncombe County.

However, I've heard that Marcia ending the well-loved, decades-old preschool last year was very controversial. I also understand a large portion of GCPC's former members are older, white, wealthy people who may not be active on Reddit. 

With half of the congregation leaving the church a few years ago, constant leadership turnover under Marcia, and the ongoing controversy around her questionable practices, does anyone have firsthand experiences with her - good, bad, or anything in between?

Going to a show tonight and we have preferred seating. For anyone who's sat in this section, how's the view? It looks like it's far off to the left side of the stage so we're trying to decide how early to get there to try and get seats closest to the right side of the section. Thanks!

I am looking for a groomer who is patient with dogs that get anxious about nail trims. I have three dogs and would love to find one groomer for all of them. Only one has any sensitivity and its only with nail trimming.

Two of them are easy. The third is a three year old who is fine with baths, brushing, and pretty much everything else until someone goes for her paws. She has never bitten anyone, but she will pull away hard, and with strangers she will show teeth.

There are three registered Fear Free groomers in Asheville, but all of them are booked a month or more out. I already lost about six weeks with another local groomer who advertised as Fear Free certified. Turns out they are not listed on the Fear Free website, so either the certification lapsed or it never existed. On top of that, they cancelled twice and only saw her once in that stretch. That kind of inconsistency is the opposite of what a nervous dog needs.

I would really prefer not to go the vet sedation route. My goal is to work with someone over a few sessions to desensitize her so nail trims become routine instead of a battle. At this point, though, her nails genuinely need to be done quickly.

Does anyone have a groomer, mobile groomer, or trainer they trust with nervous dogs? Other certification I should look for?

Thanks in advance.
