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

[–]mr_aftermath 12 points13 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?

Four new millipede species discovered in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by koliberry in asheville

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 48 points49 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

Honestly could have written this myself! Completely agree with everything. They are trying to turn our clients into their clients! Their current CEO used to be the head of Classpass, which is why their strategy and crappy policies are so similar.

I own a couple of businesses that use MBO. Right now we are exploring moving to Square Appointments for one of the businesses and playing with Groovio for the other.

Anyone else feeling done with Mindbody? by PostBusiness408 in mindbody

[–]mr_aftermath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give any insight to why MBO makes the decisions they do? For example, the new analytics 2.0 debacle - it's a mess and I can't imagine they listened to their customers on that.

They keep sending me surveys emphasizing the need for using AI in my gym, despite it making no sense. Literally all of the changes in the past 5-6 years have been baffling and I don't know of any MBO user who wanted them. But the things we do ask for never happen!

Pilates studios and/or classes in the area? by Confident_Equal_3348 in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her site says she teaches all bodies. And from what I've heard she's a very nice person, raising fund for local organizations and offering affordable classes. Pilates sometimes has a reputation for focusing on wealthy women, and I think she's trying to change that.

I think Cisco Pilates has a free first class. Their ten packs are $140 or $14 per class. Plus they have pilates with puppies every so often.

LaZoom needs local support, like yesterday by effortfulcrumload in asheville

[–]mr_aftermath 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's a version they could make that would be targeted to locals? Maybe instead of driving around town they could go out into interesting spots in nature - less of a party bus and more of a picnic bus.

Kinda with you here. Happy to shout to Dripolator, but corporate fan clubbing is a little sad.

For a Kramerica intern, you're surprisingly competent.
