💊 What's Good, Asheville? 11/21/2025
Friday, November 21, 2025
A Note From DylanExtreme Makeover randomly showed up in WNC and is rebuilding homes, which is… not what I thought I’d be writing today. And a dispatcher in Haywood saved someone’s life mid-shift, which feels like it should be way louder news than it is. There are also multiple free community meals happening across the region. Just a snapshot of what’s happening around here today.
