Cranky Hanke's Weekly Reeler May 22-28: Fast and Epic Hangover

MOVIE

Ken Hanke | 7 hours ago

You know it's a pretty dire week when the thing I'm most looking forward to is Fast & Furious 6. (And you can imagine how much it pains me to type those words.)

Community conversations: Asheville loses Beer City crown, but is the spirit still alive?

NEWS

Jake Frankel | 2 days ago

With Asheville garnering significantly less votes in the annual Beer City USA online poll than it did in 2012, does that mean our hearts are no longer in our pint glasses? Have we lost our Beer City spirit? Or with MLive reporting that Grand Rapids tourism marketers waged a highly organized campaign, maybe it’s more of a reflection on our commerce officials?
