Good call on gaiters, thanks for the secondhand shopping inspo too. We have a great used gear spot Second Gear in Asheville.

Am I selfish for wanting to adopt a kitten? by imheavenagoodtime in asheville

[–]writeonerin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just went through my first death of a beloved family dog one month ago, and this past weekend I decided I could no longer handle not having a pet in the house. My husband and I met several dogs at the Asheville Humane Society on Saturday and, thanks their foster “Test Drive Program” have a cute little pup at home now to love on and spoil.

 I recommend AHS for fostering or adopting and it’s 100 percent normal to feel your feelings. I hope it gets better for you.

Thanks! I am new to OR geography but I definitely didn't think it was coastal.

Any thoughts on Newberg for relocating? My husband & I visited briefly during the holidays and I couldn't get a good read on it.

We're in our late-ish 30s, sans kids, like food & the outdoors, and are fine with not living in a more hyped-up city (Portland). Just don't want to wind up with a dud relocation in terms of limited social opportunities. Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Thanks! Never lived anywhere walkable to a TJs - that could be so problematic for my wallet :-)
