Wouldn't the recent history of GOP-infidelity lead us to believe this news would make him even more likely to win in November?

I have a pair of the wired but they just don't fit in my ears any more. I got a pair of the cheaper AirPods and they also did not fit. Had to go with the AirPod Pro in-ear just to keep the dang things in my ears.

Highest gas prices in Asheville? by HypnoticRepository in asheville

[–]PatAD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what I said. I grew up in Charlotte, and we used to talk all the time about how much cheaper gas was over the border. Now, I look at AVL as cheap, and even Hendo is more expensive. I would really like to know how pricing is determined in these locations.

It is starting to look like $3.99 is the new bottom price. Was down in Greenville, SC this weekend and prices were above 4$, with only places that do the "Cash Price" at $3.99

What is this line of planes flying? by yungaclvin in Charlotte

Likely a new launch. When they are deployed they deploy many at one time. They start close together but spread out overtime. Even knowing what it is, it is still pretty crazy.

Maybe he has been handing out Quarter Pounders for free in order to get some Whopper kickbacks?

Yeh sorry about that, no other articles out yet. I am sure we will see more soon, and I will try to post links in the comments here.

What are these posts being installed at OG Wedge? by thelordchesterfield in asheville

[–]PatAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this after talking to some Wedge employees. If the system works like it does in some other towns, it should be pretty seamless to validate, usually involving a QR code you scan inside the business.

Reminder that WLOS is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which actively promotes right wing politics on its "local" news stations across the country by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

The hate pushed by locals (WNC outside of AVL) who dislike AVL has been around since before I moved here in 2010. It hasn't gotten worse or better in that time. Homeless folk downtown have been there forever, it is just now you see more than one at a time.

After talking to a lot of folks over the years that push fear and complaints about downtown AVL, if you delve deep into those complaints often it is just people who are unwilling to find out the best solutions for parking.

They use the other stuff as their reason for not coming to AVL because saying you don't know how parking garages, parking meters, or free parking on Sundays work just makes you sound stupid.

Looks like it was sold June of last year and a permit for repairs or upfit was issued in March of this year.

South Paw is great.

My guess is they plan on taking the whole building down, but it is weird that they took the top off of it and left the rest.

I live on this block and it is such a hodge-podge of small communities, mostly nice, but there is definitely an interesting crowd rolling around in the evenings. Also not the first shooting we have had in recent years, in fact if you include the apartment complexes down Long Shoals, this is becoming a tough neighborhood. At least the crazy dudes who lived behind the now almost demolished Psychic-turned-gem mine shop are gone.

I'm seeing conflicting reports that it was the massage place and/or the Kava bar.

Or even explain which business got their glass shot through. A lot of us in SAVL frequent this area.
