Something Worth Saving: Asheville, Stories of Resilience

In our culminating episode of Asheville, Stories of Resilience, we dive more deeply into the aftermath of Helene and how the community has been working to restore, renew and rebuild. With stories of neighbors helping neighbors, how the arts and minor league baseball restore a sense of normalcy and how one neighborhood literally blossomed, we bring you many of the voices we heard from throughout our series, all speaking of moving forward.

Episode 3 highlights how the innate need for human connection paves the way for building community. We talk to people who returned to town because of family, built businesses with family and how the ballpark becomes extension of family. We also hear from a variety of artists and entrepreneurs about how Asheville provides the perfect climate to promote community building through the arts.

In Episode 2 of Something Worth Saving: Asheville Stories of Resilience, Sara Stock Mayo and Jonathan Mayo explore the meaning of place and how it is defined by different members of the community. They dive into Asheville’s past and present sharing stories from a myriad of perspectives and lived experiences.
