You have GOT to be kidding me.
Mission Hospital in #Asheville snagged the 95 extra beds the state was awarding to the area, even after countless failures of HCA to effectively run this system.
We had 3 other systems vying for these beds, and at least 100 people at the community meeting when we got to talk about which group should be awarded the beds.
This is the worst possible outcome.
Mission Hospital has received state approval to add 95 more acute-care beds to its main facility in Buncombe County despite being under investigation by state and federal healthcare agencies for repeated safety violations linked to multiple patient deaths in recent years. In making the Certificate of Need award on March 27, the North Carolina Department […]
The #Asheville Indivisible group is estimating our #NoKings protest on Saturday at 11,000-12,000 people. It was massive.
And it has been completely buried by so much of our media.

15 Years Later, Cúrate Is Still Defining Asheville Dining
A lot can change in 15 years—just ask chef Katie Button. “I think about our first cocktail menu. At this point it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, did we really have that vanilla martini?’” she laughs. Button is the chef and founder of th…

Will be very interested in what they say the count was for the protest today, it was big. Very proud to be a part of this, and get to record some of it.
Just two of the many, many signs here today. People are sick and tired of the chaos.
Protest.
Vote.
There were SO MANY people here today, we're about in the middle of the crowd, as many behind us as in front. Marched a good long way through the city, and as we returned people were still just leaving the park.
Everyone is simply fed up, and I want the whole world to see it.
Our 2023 Road Trip #20: Appetites for Asheville
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Every year since 1999 Anne and I have taken one road trip to a different part of the United States and seen attractions, wonders, and events we didn’t have back home. From 1999 to 2003 we did so as best friends; from 2004 to the present, as husband and wife. After years of contenting ourselves with everyday life in Indianapolis and any nearby places that also had comics and toy shops, we overcame some of our self-imposed limitations and resolved as a team to leave the comforts of home for annual chances to see creative, exciting, breathtaking, outlandish, historical, and/or bewildering new sights in states beyond our own. We’re the Goldens. This is who we are and what we do. For 2023 it was time at last to venture to the Carolinas, the only southern states we hadn't yet visited... ...which are now crossed off our list. We enjoyed our stroll around downtown Asheville, North Carolina, though we had no idea of the dark events in its future. At the time, all we know is we had fun and found quite a few eateries to our liking -- two local establishments and one eastern-U.S. chain we'd never encountered before. After Hurricane Helene hit in September 2024 their staffs scattered to the four winds as they had to seek refuge elsewhere until things got better. More than one of them had GoFundMe campaigns going for a time while they waited weeks for power and water to be reconnected. As of March 2026 I'm happy to see all three are still going strong today.
