Happy New Year, Asheville. 🎉

2022 is (almost) here, and with it will come a whole new year of reasons to have Land of Sky pride. Who knows what new restaurant might open, what skyline changes we might see + all the murals that may appear throughout town. But we know one thing for sure — we want to write about what matters to you, our readers, the most.

That’s why we’re polling the crowd for questions you want answered in 2022 — any piece of Asheville life you’ve always wanted to read into with your morning cup of coffee in hand. Want to know where to get the best breakfast bagel? The oldest businesses in Asheville? Which concerts are coming into town? A local Appalachian legend?

Dream big, and tell us what’s in your heart of hearts, because the questions you asked us last year were some of our favorite topics to cover — like the 411 on Buncombe’s recycling process + how to connect with the LGBTQ+ community. And we can’t forget the amazing scoop on WNC’s moon trees that y’all inspired us to cover. Submit your question below to influence the stories you’ll read next yearit’s our New Year’s resolution to answer 22 of these. Stay tuned in 2022 as we bring you the AVL answers you want most + watch the rest of the year unfold. ✨
