From the Mountain Xpress:
Asheville is getting a new laundromat bar courtesy of Sean McNeal, a jack-of-all trades whose credits include firefighting and filmmaking.The new bar will be called the Bar of Soap and will be located at 333 Merrimon Ave., where Chameleon Soul Food used to be. The business will occupy roughly 3,800 square feet and will feature a book exchange, video games and a bar (with beer and wine only) as well as locally brewed kombucha on tap.
