The place is a liberal haven. Lots of problems around the area too. Meth is made like moonshine. We have a friend who lives in the mountains just north of the city and heard all about it.
I guess if you put away the tourist goggles you recognize it.
“The place is a liberal haven.”
The place is an Antifa headquarters funded by Soros..

Probably not College related, but there are a lot of customers over at that college I am going to assume.
It’s so sad what has become of Asheville. It was a nice little conservative town before the libs invaded, starting with New Agers in the 80s. Summers are idyllic there and fall is glorious. Winters can be harsh, but beautiful. Views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains are lovely.
Originally, it hosted a summer crowd of wealthy planters from the Carolina coastal plains, including the Low Country, looking to escape the malarial heat and humidity there. Then it was a favored summer spot for well-off retirees who wintered in Florida, summered in Asheville/Black Mountain. So it was always a bit touristy in a way. The surrounding settlements still retained their old ways in the latter 80s, including their distinctive music and thick Tarheel accent. I wonder if they still do. I found these people fascinating and fun, and with some good lessons to teach us “modern folk” (pronounced “mod’ren folk”).
Anyway, it appears the lib invaders have now completely taken over and ruined it.
