While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville’s policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to The city of El Paso, Texas.

    Decided to book a vacation here this week. Had no idea it was happening. Locals seem annoyed with it.

      Have fun. If you like beer, swing by Burial. If you’re parking downtown, College Street Parking Deck always has open spots, is less than 10 minutes from anything, and has a maximum rate of $8/day

        Burial was good. I also just liked green man’s taproom which isn’t too far from it. Whole south slope was pretty good, at least to explore.

          Green Man’s fun and I’m guessing you went to The Funkatorium, too? Pricey as hell anymore, but yeah, AVLs downtown is still one of my favorites.

            IIRC that is Wicked Weed’s spot. If so, yeah I went before the buyout. I won’t return since that.

            Catawba was good, ABC was lackluster (if it’s still around), Brahmari was good. Certainly no shortage within walking distance.
