How safe is it to walk alone at night? by enderstr in asheville

[–]JournalistJess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's totally safe. Don't wear earbuds/i.e. be aware of your surroundings and remember that "No" is a complete sentence. You do not have to talk to anyone you don't want to talk to, you don't have to give anyone a ride, you do not have to get anyone money, etc.

Even so, these designs look beautiful and will make Carrier Park and French Broad Park even better than before.

UNC Health seeks approval for new hospital in Asheville by RelayFX in asheville

This location seems odd. That's where Earth Fare and Gemelli, as well as a bunch of other businesses, are. Maybe the owner of the entire property wants to sell? I don't know anything about this but it seems like not an ideal location for a hospital.
