Are bars in Asheville the same as in NYC?  You know, where the music is loud and people stand 1 foot apart and yell at each other and laugh really loud to gain attention of some girl? 

No clue. Asheville has a pretty solid beer and bar scene considering it is now a tourist destination. If you are ever up there check out Sierra Nevada.

Yes they are. Honestly hard are designed to encourage socializing and close contact. Just about every state that had opened bars  have closed them again or thinking about it as cases have soared.

I've said from the moment we started shutting things down that bars should be the last thing opened back up.  I still can't believe places had already opened bars up.

10k in my great state of Florida alone. Congrats my fellow Floridians! Where 3/4 of the people weren't wearing a mask at the grocery store today. Keep up the good fight. We might as well be number 1 at something other than age. Morons.

"The Villages" , and places like that had better lock their communities down.  Of course they should have done that a month ago.  Or dig a mote.  Would be easier there as opposed to the country as a whole, they already have the gators.

And they had to do a study to come to these conclusions.  SMH  AP is on top of things

The guys wear scarves. Some “local” food truck parks outside. It’s super woke.

So, outside the food trucks, just a bunch of insufferable twats, for the most part?

My wife's parents live in one of the senior retirement communities near Orlando and they are on lockdown. A few members of the staff and community tested positive despite their precautions. It is really getting bad in Florida with so many retired people living there who are all vulnerable.

Asheville does have a lot of breweries with at least a reasonable amount of outdoor seating. Wicked Weed, Burial, New Belgium, Asheville Brewing, Bhramari, Sierra Nevada, Funkatorium, among several others I'm sure. Not sure how/if they are operating; I think if they have some food options, they can potentially get away with being open during phase 2. I guess technically they also double as "retail" since they sell their beers to go on site. Haven't quite figured out all the stipulations but I know there are at least some breweries near me open.
