Who?
Umm – ok, exciting for some I suppose.
Who cares? Quit being starstruck. People are people. Let them be.
I think this is more a FYI to locals saying, hey look, famous people are here. I actually like knowing that. I don’t think this is to point them out so people can jump up from their computers and rush downtown to get an autograph – or to bother them in anyway possible.
This isn’t TMZ and I don’t think anyone is a paparazzi scouring the streets for celebs, but if a store owner, or passerby happens to snap a pic, or just mention that they saw a celeb, that’s totally ok, and not being starstruck. Just cool to know, and how ‘hip’ Asheville is or isn’t.
You know, I’m a born and raised local, and Avl has changed a whole lot in my time, but it’s still a little cool and giddy of me *(sometimes) to just see what was once a “where you from” to a “oh, I here that place is awesome” type of change.
Well put. Every time Ashvegas does something about celebrity sightings or movies being made here, there always has to be some sourpuss saying “who cares?” or its equivalent. Who cares that they don’t care?
