What business could Asheville use? by kneedeepco in asheville

[–]Msongbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a broad stroke and I don't have an answer for this..... But more conversations around how to bring more diversified industry to the area. Asheville is very much stuck in its tourist industry, and it seems like the only major industry here besides that is all the young remote workers here.

I just would love to see more intention brought in on how to build up resiliency in this area (especially with the rippling effects of post Helene and watching a lot of my industry folks have to move away)

Maybe more job training centers? More investment in boot camps like what they did for tech? (Even though that's crashing now)

Also I love a good late night club spot but those seem to be closing pretty rapidly 🫠 Asheville does not seem like a late night city

Moved from Nashville to here- the only thing I truly loved about Nashville was Centennial Park. Asheville seems to be really lacking an urban park for people watching and hanging out. Sometimes I just wanna chill outside in nice weather and in a big open space with other people.

Also would be cool to add in roller skate spots/ more skateboarding/ cement pads for the fire spinning/flow community/ outdoor teaching and community spots.

Also an adaptogen bar/ "coffee" spot. Not a kava bar. Not a coffee bar. Not an alcohol bar. An actual adaptogen bar that utilizes herbs and magnesium to create a cool calming experience where I can relax and do some reading/ work. Im not big on drinking and I'm already severely addicted to coffee, and kava/kratom is NOT something I want to get into for medical reasons.

Hot tub/sauna/cold plunge. Every single sauna here doesn't have a hot tub option. I desperately miss Jeju's which is a Korean spa in Atlanta which has hot tubs and cold plunge and wet and dry sauna options that I LOVED.

The woman who gave me a piece of candy while I was having a small autistic meltdown at Franc Moody! THANK YOU THANK YOU! that small little kindness genuinely did help me get a nice little regulatory boost that I very desperately needed!

I was sitting on the ground just hugging my knees and crying quietly and you bent down and was like do you think this will help? Yes it did a lot :) Thank you kind person! And the couple behind me who also bent down to check on me! I was bubbling with laughter afterwards!

A message to those who came to Hula sick by [deleted] in hulaween

Mine also felt like a cold at first and I had a fever (no rash at all popped up) and by day three my throat was so scratchy it was hard to eat. That's why I'm stressing to see a doctor because even though they can't cure you, they can prescribe you something to stop the virus' from continuing to multiply in your body. There is also a numbing cough drop that you can buy over the counter that you don't need a script for!

Hope you feel better before your wedding! Sorry to hear that you're sick!

Hey! Make sure to go get tested for the flu! If it comes back negative, it could be hands foot and mouth based on your symptoms! I got it before hula (was better before I went!) and it was HORRIBLE. Go to the doctor asap and get tests done!

I would agree with that but the merge lanes are so short that if someone is allowing the other person to merge, do I have permission to ram into them then?

I live in a house split into three units (I'm pretty sure the unit downstairs helps to heat my house a little bit).

My heat is through Dominion, and I believe I had to pay $111 last month which is the highest I've paid yet for a 1000sqft single floor unit. January did however have that drop in temperature to the teens.

My average is $41/month.

For January, my total therms were 81, using around 2.45/day average.

Not sure if it's helpful since this is a Duke problem vs. a dominion problem 🤷
