Also it was destroyed in a hurricane

Other than parts by the river, Asheville survived for the most part. The cities really destroyed were the smaller towns around it like Chimney Rock.

I live here and that’s not true

I’m not living in Asheville currently but every time I have visited since the hurricane, it has been like normal with the exception of Biltmore Village and the River Arts District.

The only time it was really bad was when I went there about a week after the hurricane.
