Today’s round of questions, my smart-aleck replies and the real answers: Question: I would like to know what is happening at the old Brown’s Pottery location near the intersection of Hendersonville and Airport roads in Arden.

But generally, no. Despite trying to stay upbeat post-Helene, I’ve found myself struck by the same notion time and again when I drive around town: Man, this is going to be a different Asheville when all is said and done. The last time it hit me was about …Asheville · AshevilleRead Article
