Asheville is really liberal. Not every town in the south is full of slack-jawed yokels. I lived in Athens, GA for over seven years. It’s a blue county surrounded by a sea of red.

Asheville is awesome. Asheville and Charlotte are the reasons North Carolina is a swing state. I live just over the Tennessee state line, less than an hour from Asheville, and our downtown has modeled itself on Ashville and brought in some their restaurants. It makes me so happy.

It’s the greatest thing. I don’t know how far GSA has penetrated into the heartland, where it’s most needed. I’m impressed…

Oh my god, this is incredible. This is awesome. I don’t know what to do with all these human emotions.

I teach high school and I can vouch for one thing: this new batch of kids are fucking awesome about a lot of things. They can be crappy towards each other sometimes, oblivious and callous at other times, but all in all, I would have had a MUCH better high school experience with this generation of kids than the ones I…

What an incredibly touching story. Now that’s a Friend with a capital F.

Oh my God. I don’t know how I missed hearing about this. IT IS THE BEST THING.
