Flat Creek Village

This is a picture of the "coming soon" Flat creek village". If you havent seen it, it is a big piece of land thats cut into 8 tracts of land. The only building is a 2 story building with a doctors office, a rainbow vacuum cleaner sales center, mercer design center, and the developers office. Right above the land is where North Windy Ridge School is as well as the future North Asheville Baptist church (might become the largest church in WNC once its built, surpassing Biltmore Baptist.

North Buncombe Middle School

Icy roads expected through tuesday.

Good evening!!! I just want to let you all know that periods of icy weather (including SNOW) is expected overnight, with accumulations expected to quickly happen as surface temps are still below freezing. Even though this event will be light, roads will quickly turn worse by morning sunday because of this. Roads and Sidewalks which were treated with salt or sand will be ok, but it will be the side roads and especially higher mountain roads/ bridges/ overpasses that will possible become treacherous. Snow will again be possible tomorrow night thru early tuesday.

Icy roads

Better be careful out on the roads tonight, snow is falling and the roads are starting to become icy out. Most of the snow will be done by midnight, but moe is expected by tomorrow night into Thursday.

Jersey Mikes coming to weaverville

I have an announcement, Jersey Mikes has confirmed to opening in Weaverville at NorthRidge Commons. There has also been no confirmation date for Lowes and Walmart to have their grand opening. I went by there today and they are hard at work on widening Monticello Road, and before long they will pave the road and get it prepped for the traffic to Northridge Commons which might have its grand opening by MidSummer.

Sorry about the LULL

I appologize about the lull in blogging on my site, I have just gone back to school at Abtech and I am starting to be "BLASTED AWAY" on homework. So bear with me and I will be back on track by next week.
