As adults we have this tendency to say "if I knew then what I knew now, I'd have paid more attention in school!" Well here's your chance. This tiny aquarium will impart more knowledge in a short visit than you probably take in most months if you take advantage of it. The interns and owner (a former teacher) are committed to answering questions. The things they are studying and sharing are amazing. If you go in and you want to learn and ask questions this will be an experience you won't forget. Think of the best science teacher you ever had, having an opportunity to show the world what she loves to talk about... and that is what you have here. Do yourself a favor, go, enjoy and learn!!

Not an email, not a letter in the mail, not a phone call, absolutely no thanks in any way from anyone! I do not donate to receive praise but I do think that it would be both gracious and professional to thank those who give their money. I'm not inspired to give more to them. In fact, they lost out on other money that I gave to another worthy cause. The other organization thanked me almost immediately. Sorry to write something less than glowing about such a great organization but if you want people to keep giving, then give your thanks!!!

Led by Mr. Dwayne, the tour is an hour and a half learning about the Burton Street Community, a historically Black neighborhood in West Asheville and the victim of gentrification and highway expansions. Hood Huggers was created to serve as a champion for the 1912 neighborhood and its long-time residents. My wife, eight-year-old daughter, and I booked a Sunday morning tour. Since it was just us, he gave us the option to walk it or take his little shuttle. Mr. Dwayne gave us the background on the area before Mr. Cotton, the grandson of the man who founded the neighborhood, joined us with a book of photos. After a drive, we ended at the Peace Gardens and Market, a sacred space for the community.

He showed us a lot of different areas that were Historical for the African-American community.

I will definitely recommend this tour hands down to give you more of a historical African-American background of the city based on the money that we spent I feel that it was a great value for the tour that we received the service was outstanding by our tour guide and hands-down. I definitely would recommend this tour.

Something they could make probably 1000 1500 bucks off of anyway some goodwill's have very good management and others do not this particular one did not. I usually only give good reviews better to be nice than say don't say nothing at all but in this case I had to be honest. I know this doesn't represent all of Goodwill. I've had actual good luck with Goodwill in the past. I like to donate and pay it forward, especially when it's nice stuff close nice furniture and state to type stuff anyways that's all and I'm sure they're very nice people and maybe she was just having a bad day!
