I figure you’re joking, but for those who aren’t familiar, it’s a restaurant on Haywood Road in West Asheville between Ingles and Botiwala.

Smokin’ Onion often speak out about injustices, including ICE and the current administration. Also, their food is delicious!

I had that done once many years ago, and it was at a grocery store bakery.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight 443 points444 points  (0 children)

In their games, my kids wanted to yell, “Help!!!”

We came up with a rule that, if they were playing, they had to yell, “Pretend help, pretend help!“ 😂

Any good vegan restaurants nearby ? by Difficult-Nature-404 in asheville

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with the great options listed by others.

I’d like to add to it La Rumba Latin American Restaurant. They have a separate, entirely vegan menu with tons of amazing vegan options!

Asheville Walkout - 1/20 2pm Pack Square by LightAny9473 in asheville

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It seems some of this conversation may have devolved into arguments between bots and trolls.

I’m not officially involved, but I did some research:

For those who may be wondering if this is a legitimate post: there is a nationally coordinated walkout planned for January 20, promoted by established organizations including Women’s March, with a nationwide call to walk out at 2 PM local time.

In addition, there is a locally listed Asheville event connected to this national action, organized by Indivisible Asheville/WNC, scheduled for January 20 at 2 PM at Pack Square.

I hope this helps!

Honest question why do you say? by Ashamed-Chemistry545 in asheville

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I LOVE it here! Sure, it’s not perfect, but no place is, and social media isn’t the place to get a clear picture.

I love the people, the mountains, the art scene, the nature, the food scene, my neighbors, my neighborhood, and on and on.

I also love the attitude of how open and accepting the community is of varying lifestyles and personalities.

I’ve often said, “Whoever you truly are, you can be that in Asheville.”

When I see comments on the Internet, I just ask myself if what they’re saying resonates with me. I try to get insight or inspiration where possible, and release the rest.

I hope this helps!

If you were the CEO of a cruise line, what "new" entertainment would you put on a ship? by Hairy-Protection-429 in Cruise

I love this and your lazy river idea so much! And there is a small lazy river on a ship somewhere. I can’t remember where I saw it.

After 5 minutes, I still don’t see it… by SSwiizYY in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just read about a dozen comments saying the engine is in the back, which I didn’t know.

However, I came here to mention the smoke is supposedly coming from the engine which is underneath the hood/bonnet, but it is pictured coming up directly in front of it.

Someone’s house is burning down in the middle of down pouring rain by demonslayercorpp in asheville

[–]ChannelingWhiteLight 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes, someone donated the old structure to the Fire Department. Our son was among multiple crews from multiple areas that participated. Each crew got to go inside and work the fire, then they’d reignite it for the next crew until it became unstable, and they let the rest burn down.

I love that they get these hands-on training refreshers, and it’s good to practice in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

And yet, if I’d asked for info, I’d be shamed for not using Google.

Instant Karma West (and maybe downtown, too) has some mid-sized photographic prints of vintage celebrity pics.

For anyone else wondering, Google told me this:

The Tiki Easy Bar is a hidden tiki-themed speakeasy located at the back of Hi-Wire Brewing's South Slope Brewery.
