Frommer’s popular travel guide recently selected Asheville, NC as the number one destination in the country to visit in 2015.

“We’re picking [Asheville] this year because the sketchy riverside area has been totally redone thanks to the New Belgium Brewery, which has poured millions of dollars into this area, making new parks, artists collectives, farmers markets, bike paths,” says Frommer. “It’s just a great place to go. It has the most breweries per capita, so it’s always a party.”

However, Frommer’s quotes have ruffled feathers with many of the artists in the River Arts District when the area was described as “sketchy.” So local artists have created a new t-shirt that says “still sketchy after all these beers.”
