Asheville Local Frequency: City Council, Hurricane Cleanup, They Might Be Giants and More
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Tuesday, March 25, 2025. We've got a packed day ahead, so let's dive right in.
The Asheville City Council is set to meet tonight at 5 p.m. in the Council Chamber. If you can't make it in person, you can catch the live stream on the city's YouTube channel. Speaking of city matters, crews are still hard at work cleaning up debris from Hurricane Helene. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says all river cleanups in Buncombe County should be finished by June 1st, bringing some much-needed relief to our waterways.
In entertainment news, They Might Be Giants are bringing their Big Show Tour to The Orange Peel tonight. It's one of only two area appearances, so don't miss out. If you're in the mood for some laughs, head over to Catawba Brewing for their ATLiens! Best of Atlanta Comedy Showcase.
For those seeking a more serene evening, the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival continues today with experimental performances across various venues. It's a great opportunity to experience boundary-pushing art in our own backyard.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the WNC Build and Remodel Expo kicks off on Saturday at the WNC Ag Center. It's a one-stop shop for home inspiration and expert advice. While you're there, check out the Makers Market featuring local artisans.
In sports news, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs baseball team is hitting the road today to face Western Carolina. They'll be back home this weekend to take on Presbyterian.
On a somber note, the Cherokee Reservation is mourning the loss of World War II veteran Mr. Rueben Taylor. Our thoughts are with his family and the community.
For those of you with green thumbs, spring is in full swing at Biltmore Estate. The gardens are bursting with daffodils, tulips, and wisteria. It's a perfect time to celebrate the legacy of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
Lastly, a quick reminder about air quality. There's an air quality alert in effect through Sunday for Polk and Rutherford Counties due to wildfire smoke. If you're in those areas, try to limit your time outdoors.
This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
