Ah, how we love to dine al fresco and people watch. Pair that with a local Bison Burger topped with bacon jam, onion soubise, and English cheddar combined and a craft cocktail.... Twisted Laurel offers all of this and much more. Vince Sharpeno, the owner of the Downtown Asheville Twisted Laurel, tells us about the ways they’ve adapted for the reopening, with safe and spacious outdoor seating options, new updates to the restaurant, menu and more!

While we've all had to adjust to the "new normal" (whatever that is), our local business owners and managers each have their own story to tell about how they've been affected and what they are doing during these unprecedented times. Dig Local is proud to partner with our friend, Ann Smith, at Leap Frog Tours to interview some of the awesome folks who make Asheville, Asheville.

Mark your calendar for this opportunity to grow with the community! REIMAGINE 2020 is a collaborative community event that will shine a light on the diverse art community that exists on The Block and provides community resources and family-friendly entertainment both digitally and through small in-person events.

This is a chance to come together (at a social-distance and virtually) to have tough conversations, to grow, to sing and laugh and finish the year strong. 2020 may have been tough, but it’s not over. Expect digital performances and live performances at YMI and LEAF Global Arts, family-friendly entertainment, and a way to renew your spirits with the exploration of healing arts. REIMAGINE will take place on October 3-4!
