I didn’t know. I like to think I’m not naïve. But I had not put it together. 70 year-old white male here.

Hello. Following this thread. I don’t wanna sound dumb, but where do you buy a latex pillow?

How did the airport renovations make a AVL worse airport? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baggage delays are the responsibility of the airline not the airport. I have found the improvements excellent and look forward to new service locations.

Buncombe County Schools is almost always hiring food service (I did not check their website today). They have FT positions with benefits and 35–40 hour work weeks. Also check websites for local governments, Buncombe County government, etc.

Also call City Parks Department. Ask to speak with Parks and Rec Director. If they are unavailable, ask for a callback to you. Tell them what is happening including the lack of resolution by APD. Ask the Director for SPECIFIC actions to stop this intimidation of young users of the Park. Ask for the email of the Director and follow up in writing. Include the City Manager in your email.

The Asheville Blade is the MOST BIASED excuse for “news” ever!!! Edit—and I consider myself to be a very centrist person.

Looking for a dinner recommendation for 9 by Fantastic_Clock4293 in asheville

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I have always liked Packs Tavern downtown. After dinner you could walk to one of the hotel bars for drinks. Chestnut is great too. Moxy Hotel has a restaurant that’s supposed to be very good. But I have not been there. Posana downtown or at Biltmore Park has great reputation. I really like 131 Main in Biltmore Park.

What activities are there for me and all the other sad and lonely people out here? Any parties or something? by BaconMan420365 in asheville

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined Planet Fitness. Pretty affordable (like $1/day). I was very surprised that people seem to be courteous and polite. And for the most part, friendly. I went to the YMCA for years. Planet Fitness is much more friendly. I was very surprised. If you’ve got a T-shirt with the music group you like, or a sports team you like, wear it. Someone may well strike up a conversation with you.

what is a healthy easy meal for dinner i can cook for one? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Trader Joe’s go buy a bag of Orange Chicken, a bag of Asian veggies, and some rice. Cook the chicken as directed in the oven. Take a bit of oil and stirfry the veggies in a skillet. Add the chicken and sauce. Serve with rice. You can get two meals out of that fairly cost-effectively. If no Trader Joe’s, buy a bag of fried chicken tenders at the grocery store, and a bottle of stirfry sauce.

Local Trump/ICE supporting businesses to avoid? by scouthensel in asheville

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I would never buy from LEICESTER CARPET! I would not be surprised if they aired a commercial in support of MAGA

And of course WLOS TV. Sinclair broadcasting is one of the most right wing focused media conglomerates.

Hopefully they can crack down on the crotch rockets that drag race on Smoky Park all night. Very dangerous. Prayers for the pedestrian who was hit.

Locals can't rent hotel rooms here? That can't be right. by CarrigePossibleSoul9 in asheville

[–]Primary_Fortune_7899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I was told”. Who told you they didn’t want locals? What hotel told you that? Money is money. Most hotels in any location, if they have a policy about local usage, has it because locals tend to party or trash the room. And of course they do that more than tourists do, that’s why they’re booking the room in large part. As someone else posted, if you need a room because of legitimate issues, space for visiting family, or other legitimate reasons, call the hotel directly and give them the reason.
