forgot to search for an Ashville thread but I did spend 4 days in a cabin in Weaverville last week with my wife and 3 kids. We had a great trip that involved going into Asheville each day and doing some touristy stuff. We did Sierra Nevada, Ashville Pizza and Brew, Luella's and Daddy Mac's. (My daughter loves mac and cheese and it was her fifth birthday so we had to do it). Daddy Mac's had ELITE buffalo chicken sliders though and a good bar setup to watch bball. The Biltmore was a lot more fun than I expected and my 7 and 5 year old actually loved it. The oldest was pissed we only got to see the 20 or so rooms because he expected to see all 100. the rest of the trip was spent hiking around the cabin building fires, swimming in the hot tub and watching basketball. It's a lovely family trip for a long weekend that I would recommend to anyone with youngish kids. also we came through Hot Springs NC on the way out and it's a cool little mountain town. would have loved to hang around there longer.
Bummer about the old Pisgah Brewing taproom/location. Went out there last night for dead cover band. Noticed different address and obviously much different spot. Talked to the owner Dave during set break, basically said it was Covid and new landlord of the building. Loved that old spot so much, one of my fav breweries
The videos from Asheville and Boone have legit made me sad. We enjoy our yearly trip up there. Seems like that won't be a good idea this year. :/
My god. That's awful. I want to cry and we only visit once a year. I feel awful for the people there.
Signed up for a couple shifts to sort and package food this week and next http://volunteer.foodbankcenc.org/
Everything I've seen for the Highlands and Cashiers is mostly just loss of power and trees down. No big flooding concerns.
Friend stayed in Highlands through the weekends and she said nothing too bad. Trees down and power outages but no bad flooding.
