What could Asheville use more of? Jobs. I have an MBA and a minimum wage job.

You’re totally right. It just makes sense to have a bigger pool of jobs for the highly educated people who collect here.

And what could it use less of? People who want Adele tickets. [The British pop star plays Thomas Wolfe on June 18.] I completely missed the first sale, and now I think I’m out of luck.

And what would you do if you were queen for a day? I would make everyone take a trip to Europe. We would all come back more well-rounded.
