The holidays are a time for connection, reflection, and celebration. This year, however, the season feels different in Asheville. Two months after Hurricane Helene, the lingering impact of the storm has left many businesses and families struggling to recover. But in true Asheville spirit, the community has rallied together.
When I first got the opportunity to write this piece for the newsletter, it took a few days for me to think about what I would write about. After 30 years of writing every day, it’s been a hot minute since I last wrote an article, as I stopped writing nearly six months ago. Then I remembered the old adage: “Write what you know.”
A love of political debate got me into writing, but a love of local history has kept me there. Now, nearly 30 years and three newspaper start-ups later, printed newspapers have about run their course. As a lover of the printed word, I hate to see it go, but history will still be written, just as it is here in this newsletter.
Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and nowhere is that more evident than in Asheville and Western North Carolina. From coffee shops and repair services to tech support companies like Webguy.tech, every dollar spent locally creates a ripple effect that strengthens our economy and fosters resilience.
