What would Asheville be like if the city announced a ban on craft beer? Or if a bicycle moratorium went into effect? We asked you what the wildest citywide pranks would be — and you did not disappoint.

“No more cat weirdos.” —@doublehjewels

All we have to say is that we’re happy these are fake situations. Asheville just wouldn’t be the same if we had no Cat Weirdos or greenways.
