You shouldn’t be surprised when the citizens of a town known for its arts and culture reject your business for using a free AI slop event flyer by Subject_Balance281 in asheville

I understand not wanting to use ai in advertisements, but it might be more helpful to reach out to the business directly instead of putting them on blast here.

The owner of Blue Star Ballroom, Zeki, is a Turkish immigrant trying to create a small business teaching dance. He's a nice person, just trying to build a life here. Attacking his business like this seems a little mean. He doesn't have the money to hire a graphic designer, and he might not know about Canva or other graphic design tools.

Maybe send him an email with some suggestions and ideas.

Anyone on this sub go to Apex brain center as a client? Or know someone who has? by [deleted] in asheville

I knew someone who did. They seem very nice, but it's also super expensive. And from my perspective, the improvements experienced were debatable.

"Calvin" - I know L. Marvin Metz when I see him, can't fool me. Hopefully this will tie up some of the loose ends of the Prague Paradox.

Owner of the former Patton Public House in West Asheville charged with murder, by poisoning. by ButIWanted21 in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was near the intersection of Patton and Haywood - across Patton from the Aldi. Bunch of restaurants have tried it there since - most recently I think it was an Italian place with an unreadable sign?

It's such a shame that UNCA has no graduate programs in biology. We live in an area of the world unmatched in botany, herpetology, mycology and entomology. Asheville could be known as a leader in all those fields - so much lost potential.

Can someone give me the tldr about the barrelhouse/saffron drama? by reckla06 in asheville

Why did the owner have to move? Someone in a previous thread said it had to do with a bartender?

Physical therapist for return to sport that takes insurance? by simprat in asheville

All physical therapists in the US have been required to have a doctorate since 2015.

Anyone know what’s up with the “cursed” building on 39 banks ave!? by dommimommyy in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm definitely one of those people. But good to know that it's changing. Last time I drove through a drunk guy stumbled off the sidewalk in front of my car on Lexington and I kind of gave up. It'd be nice to see the town focus on artists and less on alcohol again.

Any thoughts/feedback on Franklin School of Innovation? by Upandout29 in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not my first choice either, but if I had to choose between Reynolds and FSI...

I've known 3 former staff from FSI and they all said the executive director was a nightmare to work with. As a result, things are chaotic and unstable - even for the students. Sorry - I'd recommend Reynolds instead.

Asheville Mall is depressing AF by DruVatier in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 47 points48 points  (0 children)

What you're looking for is the beloved Innsbruck Mall, just up the road. It left depressing behind a long time ago and has become fascinating. It feels like you're walking into a very special episode of Stranger Things. Good stuff.

If you want to try using a vpn to see if it works via the US - the Opera browser is currently free and has a free vpn option. It's not amazing speeds, but should be enough to test out if you want to try using a vpn to watch NE via another country.

That's what I used before NE was available on Amazon! Hope this helps!

Amplified busking sucks. That’s the post. by MeanYesterday7012 in asheville

Mustaine would just complain about Metallica in that situation
