“Wondering why y’all haven’t made any posts/reports on HB 2? Woody Harrleson- that’s news??”
Here it is. This blog is full of 14th hand rumors of celebrity supposed sightings in Asheville, like the one a couple of years ago about Denzel Washington buying dog dishes in Target. Seriously: http://ashvegas.com/demosite/ashvegas-celebrity-sighting-denzel-washington-at-target-in-south-asheville
Wondering why y’all haven’t made any posts/reports on HB 2? Woody Harrleson- that’s news??
I bet Harrelson is buying the same house Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman bought before the divorce. Or maybe the same one Robin Williams was supposed to have bought. Or maybe the same entire floor of downtown condos Steven Speilberg was supposed to have bought. Or maybe the same house the Obamas were going to buy but didn’t.
For a town that likes to pride itself on its sophistication it sure does go loo-loo over every silly rumor about celebrities supposedly moving here.
“I think Buncombe County economic development officials could take a few pages from the Roanoke playbook here.”
Such as? Lots of innuendo, not much substance there, Jason. The Roanoke writeup talks about the city and state bending over backwards, forwards and sideways for Deschutes. The VA governor flew out to Oregon to court them. Was Pat McCrory going to do that for Buncombe?
Seriously, some of the details are pretty pathetic and needy: midnight tours of the state capitol? Grateful Dead box sets? So if ‘taking pages out of the Roanoke playbook’ means abject hands-and-knees begging any potential corporate suitor, then… no. It’s all too reminiscent of college athletics boosters laying on strippers and beer for potential high school recruits.
