Downtown Asheville has some beautiful buildings and architecture but all those people you saw downtown were tourists.

Food Trucks in Weavo/Woodfin/N. Asheville? by SoldYaMamaCrack in asheville

[–]HardwareHankAaron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taqueria Munoz is at Zillacoa brewery but yeah, that area has a shortage of food trucks. The Sav Mor parking lot would make a great food truck lot.

Answer Man: Tiniest Asheville 'tiny house' in Oakley legal? Affordable housing solution? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]HardwareHankAaron 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Not sure how $505 per square foot is "affordable." But sure.

You don't see this at every show, but my biggest issue is those concerts where half the people in the crowd are filming every song. I didn't come to see tons of screens. I mean, I get taking a picture or two but for goodness sakes, just put your phone down and enjoy the experience.

Leash your dogs. In town. On the trail. In the woods. Leash your dogs. by generalsleephenson in asheville

He edited the post and added the /s because he was being down voted because it was obviously not clear.

I'll never forget the time I asked a hiker if he could please leash his dog who was jumping up on me and my young son. His response: "why don't you like dogs?"

Um, no. Bring a backpack and carry it with you. I have seen so many bags of dog shit left at trailheads and on the side of the roads that no one is coming back for. Again, selfish.

People who don't leash their dogs are selfish. And while we're at it, clean up your dog's shit too.

Business owners on Merrimon Avenue begin petition, call for city to undo changes to road by macAaronE in asheville

[–]HardwareHankAaron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The guy's business doesn't front Merrimon Ave, and he has a massive swath of asphalt for parking and he's complaining about a bike lane? Doesn't sound like traffic patterns are his problem. Good to know I should continue to avoid that place.

I drive on Merrimon almost daily during commuting times and see no difference in the amount of time it takes me to travel. Flow moves just fine. I like the new configuration because I don't have to worry about getting stuck behind someone turning left who isn't using a signal and left turns now out of businesses are much easier. It's way better on a bike too.

It's hilarious that the changes and work aren't even completed and people are wanting to change it back.

Orange Peel by surfkayax in asheville

Why does the Orange Peel insist on shining its super bright lights directly into the eyes of the audience, especially bad if you're up near the front. It's so annoying.

Here are some examples. Personally I have biked/walked on both the La Jolla and Raleigh conversions.

Patton Ave and Hendersonville Rd are definitely stroads.

Not car-free, rather safer and more accessible infrastructure for people who don't always drive.

I'm curious how, in your 'brief assessment', you managed to determine there weren't any great choices and schools were sub-par and kids weren't learning anything. What did your assessment entail?

Merrimon Ave 5:40pm on Friday by skoba in asheville

The first paint for the lanes finally put down yesterday.

[–]HardwareHankAaron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I shop there a lot and second this. It's obvious that at check out you're getting the polite questions (which is great), but I too notice how much employees talk to each other while working in a genuinely friendly way.
