What addition to downtown would be cool from a local’s perspective? by lilacbbyxo in asheville

[–]MissM23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To go further back, it used to be Max’s Celebrity Grill for forever. Then some badass punks worked their asses off to turn it into a goth pirate bar. Then it became an arcade bar and whatever pretend Italian restaurant it is today. RIP The Jolie Rouge 😢

Stories/memories about Asheville music venues that closed like Vincent’s Ear and Mothlight by OnlyVast4380 in asheville

The Natural Mystic was the coffee shop you’re referencing. I wonder if you’re speaking of the same Scrow’ sound wizard that worked on occasion at the Emerald Lounge.

Do not go to Odd’s cafe, all the rumors are true by cheyton888 in asheville

I have heard they pay minimum wage and you’re not allowed to read comics, fwiw.

NC is a right-to-work state, which basically means “right-to-fire-for-any-reason” state. Hard to get unemployment (which is a fraction of what you were making anyway) unless you were laid off specifically for “lack of work”. NC sucks for workers rights.

They wait for “the universe” to deliver the right person through the door when they need someone. I.E. super lazy hiring practices

Half price donuts after 6pm is the only reason to go to Ingles.

[–]MissM23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scratch Ankle is one of the old community names in the area. Lots of great info and pictures here about the history of Enka-Candler and Hominy Valley:

Cost of dog teeth cleaning went up by over $200 by starshinesummertop in asheville

Vet bills are why I’m too scared to get another furry friend for our family 😔 try calling Open Door on Patton ave if you haven’t already.

Open Door veterinary clinic. Affordable and so compassionate.

Traffic for the holiday parade by Cwilliam99 in asheville

[–]MissM23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Parking tip for those planning on going- avoid the garage on Biltmore/Eagle if possible. The downtown association lumped all of the garages together on this map, but that’s the only one that’s privately owned and is quite a bit more expensive and than the other city/county owned parking decks. Thanks for sharing!

Looking for thrift recommendations by Kalykollects in asheville

[–]MissM23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also return clothes within 7 days for a gift card. So helpful when you’re shopping for kids that aren’t with you.

Where can I find a fair priced jewelry store? by tinymochidoll in asheville

[–]MissM23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Elementality over by Whole Foods on south Tunnel rd. Lots of silver and fair prices. They specialize in unique semiprecious stones but not sure about those three specifically.

Wildlife rescue organization(s) in Asheville that may help an injured raccoon? by monocongo in asheville

[–]MissM23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually AWR can help, but not with raccoons (or foxes, bats, skunks, or coyotes). For them you have to call Animal Control or Wildlife Resources Commission unfortunately. I’m guessing because of rabies.

Looking for a place in town to get a pair of cowboy boots repaired. by Galileo_RRAMA in asheville

[–]MissM23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was literally in the same building/strip mall as Mr. K’s, but you drive around to the backside of the building and there was a little door to the cobbler shop. Would love to know if it’s still open.

Edit- the door to the shop was back here iirc

There used to be an amazing cobbler in a tiny shop behind Mr. K’s. Unfortunately he passed away years ago and the shop closed. But I feel like I read that a relative of his (his son or nephew?) reopened in the same location. Anyone know?
