Have other Mountain Xpress readers noted that the lighted snowflake in Pack Square in downtown Asheville only has five points?
It’s a scientific certainty of nature that all snowflakes have six points, due to the natural crystallization patterns of water molecules.
How did Asheville get duped by a “snowflake imposter”?!

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.

I guess the snowflakes of Asheville can’t even get that right, though it also takes a snowflake to care.
Be nice
Durka dur, Alan, Durka dur…
He is being nice.
And here I was thinking I was the only one who was so very irritated when I saw that! Like nails on a chalkboard for the eyes…
When did caring ,empathy, finding common ground with your fellow humans become a.negative connotation?
Oh yeah…I remember…When the Koch brothers bought our government.
If you’re a Pavlovian dog in a Skinnerian box, a slave to Bernays and Kinsey…..
Please…think before you speak how your words affect others.
Sighs…I’m rather disgusted by both sides of the political divide and conquer b.s….
Grateful as a Indigenous person…to have seen this b.s. before..
