Lived there from 1985 until 2002. Bohemians passed away as early as the mid 90's when Asheville was taken over by trustafarians and bobos along with influx of big moneys which drove most of us out of town. There are a few people left but new blood can't afford the rents/real estate.

I remember renting 1000 sq. ft. studio space downtown for $100. No heat and the electrical was dodgy. They've since turned those into condos.



There's always Cleveland.
