Blog Log: The week in local blogging

Posted on by Brian Postelle

How sick are we of winter?

No, not sick like How To Take a Fall, or even sick like a bear can make you sick, as seen over at WNCOutdoors. Just sick like ready for spring.

Well Around Asheville is noting that the thunder from Pritchard Park means the drum circle is back.

After last week’s rundown of pet peeves, Girl Named Boo let the sunshine in with a list of her Heart Loves.

Hazen Hunter Blog cut off the beard and documented it with pictures.

Also on the haircut front, looks like Hangover Journals doesn’t have lice. (Way to go!).

All around the blog world, little sprouts are popping up, like Liminal Screeds’ mini album reviews and the weekly rundown of notables at Bruisin’ Ales Beer Blog. Speakin’ of beer, it looks like bruising ales is callin’ out Asheville Beer Blog.

Speaking of rising temperatures, have you heard of this global warming thing? The AsheVillein has this 1953 Popular Mechanics story about carbon dioxide and a hotter Earth.

Need some weekend deep thoughts? Makoviney’s discourse on the last two years in town brings up this question: Is Asheville the red pill or the blue pill? Discuss.

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community.

Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service.
