Letter: More gingerbread houses, please

Graphic by Lori Deaton

Can we suggest it to local businesses to start a gingerbread display for anyone who wants to enter or anyone who wants to come see it? Since the Omni Grove Park Inn has made it so expensive and out of reach for most people.

Going to see the gingerbread houses and having the gingerbread smell would just start off the holiday season.

Just wanted it to be put out there for another business to be open to the public to see gingerbread houses made by those who like to make them. Maybe the Asheville Mall or Blue Ridge Mall: It could bring in business and give people something beautiful to see also.

    How have they made it too expensive? It’s FREE! Avoid the parking cost by parking at water bird and then ubering to grovepark inn.. we bring a flask of booze and nip while we look at the gingerbread houses; we do it every year!!!

    Karen’s post shows how expensive a lack of common sense and awareness can be in life, not simply as it pertains to gingerbread houses…

    the lack of common sense and awareness of the real world are rampant here…
