For day three of our Asheville/Black Mountain spring break, we mostly hung in downtown Asheville. We visited French Broad Chocolate, Malaprops Bookstore, Well Played Board Game Cafe, and Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ. We ended with s’mores back at the house.

Compelling article containing the writer's survival story after moving to #AVL weeks before #Helene.

Uses a term, solastalgia, to describe "the homesickness one feels when still at home, caused by distress due to environmental change in one’s home environment".

"With less than a month left to apply for federal aid, it looks like many western North Carolinians may not receive direct financial assistance as they rebuild their homes."

(According to WFAE's (CLT Public Radio) Climate News)

Details: One month after Helene hit, FEMA approved $200 million for over 121,000 households in the state. So far, only 15% of homes in western North Carolina have applied for FEMA aid, according to reporting by The Washington Post. Over 274,000 N.C. residents applied for federal disaster relief, and FEMA has paid out over $15.8 million as of this week.

Some areas and businesses, such as in Maggie Valley and Cherokee, are opening and want your tourism business. (Sorry about article source, but many in this area will only communicate to this outlet.)

hate seeing photos of police keeping people out of supermarkets in Asheville, NC, but don't know what to do about it?

You can let your family/friends know that they can donate to https://southsidecommunitygarden.org, a Black-led mutual aid farm, and Free Fridge AVL (Venmo @freefridge_avl)

Beloved and I have eaten consistent with the theme, having some elevated #FriedGreenTomatoes on two types of grits. The red outside is sriracha-honey grits. 🔥

Will post food pic next, but with CW.
