Blog Log: The week in local blogging

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.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

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.
