Blog Log: The week in local blogging

Posted on by Brian Postelle

Kind of a slow week on the blog front. Maybe everyone was saving up energy for the big Valentine’s holiday.

Speaking of that, Phidoux has this take. And stupidmommy got an unexpected note. And this VD card from Arratik over at Scrutiny Hooligans? Classic.

Can’t wait for your rebate from the government? Asheville Beer Blog spotted a money maker in one of our local brews. Or you can take your chance at winning gift certificates from My Weaverville.

But checking in did reap these tidbits:

A Girl Who Wears Glasses, on the heels of this experiment, is at it again.

And What the Hell? has that question and more for the Asheville Police Department’s new prostitution policy.

It only takes a moment.

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 is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. 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. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
