Good morning, Asheville. By the time you read this, the storm may have already passed – and you’re likely saturated with Florence news (no pun intended), we put together some favorite features for your soggy Monday.

9 Asheville buildings + their architectural designs | When you think of Asheville’s unique architectural design, which building comes to mind? Is it the Jackson Building, Biltmore, or the Basilica of St. Lawrence? We explore who (and what style) was behind 9 well-known Asheville buildings.

40+ ways to give back through volunteering | Looking to make a difference in Asheville + the region, but unsure of where to start? We’ve broken down some of the ways to give back by volunteering by category, from animals to the arts.

You know you’re from Asheville if… | Ali looks back at memories of earlier (some would say simpler) times in Asheville.

50+ local business to follow on Instagram | With the help of our readers + some searching of our own, we put together a list of 50+ (trust us, there are many more) local business Instagram accounts.

Your ultimate list of Asheville’s 30 breweries 🍻| Because we could use this list once in awhile.

How to stay safe during Florence + help our coastal neighbors | Now that Florence has passed, the wind has subside, and the flooding isn’t quite as intense – see how you can help the community + the state recover.

Now that we’ve seen the very worst of Florence, it’s time to start preparing ourselves for the recovery process. Keep in mind, some areas of our community and state are still experiencing power outages + major flooding.

Buncombe County will continue being in a state of emergency until this Thursday – so take caution when traveling. Protip: Be sure to check for any cancellations in plans this week from the events included in our September PlanAhead.

Stay dry and safe, Asheville.
