Last week The Asheville Blade published a story I wrote — Why I Left Asheville.
The response to that story has been overwhelming. If you have not read the story yet, please give it a read and share your thoughts in the comment section. Thanks for your support!

This is spot on! I left Asheville ten years ago. I see things haven’t changed (improved) much since.
Thanks, Luke! The last few years, I kept telling myself that things would improve in Asheville. But eventually I had to consider that the best thing for my family was to move away. One of the toughest decisions I had to make. Thanks for reading my story.
