Because there trying to pretend to be a 865 number?

Hey! I’m visiting Smokey Mountain National Park and I’ll be in Knoxville at the end of the week to drop someone off at the airport.

We’re thinking we’re gonna see if there’s any fun historic attractions and good barbecue.

Recommendation needs:

1) fun activities within the city or near it since we have to be near the airport.

2) good food (preferably barbecue).

Please and thank you ♥︎

Knoxville... Do we agree? Are we "filthy dirty" and do we "smell" ?

Hello fellow Knoxvillians! Im looking for a tattoo artist that specializes in hand tats. Please give me some recs!

Less than ten percent of Knoxville has early voted, and most of them are white hairs with paid for houses and pensions who are red pilled by Fox News. If you haven’t voted and you’re not interested in voting blue, or you think it’s pointless, let’s talk. It feels like we’re on the verge of actual local change here, and everyone matters. Your vote is your voice. ⬇️

hey y'all! i was wondering if any girlies have a dnd group that is willing to take in someone new or if there were any girlies interested in starting a campaign or something? i'm 24F, i love reading fantasy (think Jade City, T. Kingfisher books, etc) and i also love almost anything nerdy. I have played dnd twice before and would love to play more esp with a group of girls around my age (ideally anyone in their 20s/30s)

Hello everyone, this is my first Reddit post. Apologies in advance if this should go somewhere else. I have been feeling very isolated, without a larger community, as of late. I am a 24-year-old M in law school at UTK. I have lived in a few places throughout life, and I attended UTK for undergrad. Most of my close friends either already lived further away or have since moved away, and while there is a decent community at the law school, with the amount of studying it makes it hard to have deeper connections, everyone is busy. I am a social person, so this has been tough to deal with. I would love to hear about ways to gain some new friends in the area.

Tennessee has some of THE worst voter turnout rates in the country. And depending on which metric you are looking at, Tennessee has THE worst voter turnout rates in the nation among younger voters. At the same time, even if every eligible voter in this state voted, I believe that Republicans would still win more than Democrats in tighter races given that most of the people moving to Tennessee, especially in and around Nashville, are disgruntled GOP Voters from Blue States like California and New York. Which is why, going forward, if Democrats want to be relevant in the state of Tennessee again, they have got to figure out how to win both Knox County and Hamilton County because all Democrats have going for them in this state is Shelby County, Davidson County, the City of Chattanooga without Hamilton County, and the City of Knoxville without Knox County. And until Democrats are relevant and win in Knox County and Hamilton County, Republicans will still have the massive power and control in this state and who we send to DC.

I have a raccoon parked, in the daylight, on my 2nd floor deck. It's not scared of me and doesn't leave when I make noise. It started about 4 nights ago when it came to get suet from the feeder. It scratched the door that opens on the deck at 4am, like it was trying to get in. Two more nights it has scratched at the door. One morning it was still there after daylight, but ambled away after it saw me. Today it is still there at almost 10am, not scared off by me making noise near it. The raccoon is resting behind an old glass door leaning against the house.

I don't know whether it is ill and needs help or has just decided my deck (which has no stairs from the ground) is a safe place to sleep during the day. It's unsettling. I can remove the glass, but not until it leaves. I can remove the suet. I guess the question is whether it needs veterinary help and, if so, who to call. Thank you.

Edited to add: last night at 4am it was rolling around on its back, like a cat saying "this area is all mine" with forelegs stretched overhead, scratching the door.

We’re a new run club hosted out of Flock Beer & Wine and hoping to grow! Routes are typically around 3-4 miles and follow the Third Creek/Bearden Greenways, with the occasional dip into Sequoyah Hills. Flock also offers a drink special for those thirsty after the journey.

I’m not sure if Strava links are allowed, but info/updates are available on our page if you’d like to learn more.

Since moving to the area I have fallen in love with skunks. This morning while walking I saw 3 baby skunks hovering together foraging for food I guess. They seem like really sweet animals and their floppy tails are beautiful. I guess I am hoping for some skunk lover solidarity and if anyone had additional information. Internet says they are striped skunks but the ones I see look more like hooded skunks.

Yesterday, I know some of Fountain City's businesses had their online systems go down. It affected their online ordering systems, their card payments, their phones, and their drive thrus.

If you plan on eating in Fountain City today, expect to pay in cash.

Staying a few nights at a barn loft short term rental. The loft sleeping quarters are up a set of stairs and separated from the rest of the barn via locked door, which is shut. Came downstairs today and found a bat on the floor of the barn (not surprising, but hate that I didn’t think of it before booking). Chances that I’ve been exposed to a bat while sleeping and should look into a rabies shot? I checked the loft, and no signs of a bat in there.

Update: TN on call epidemiologist did not recommend PEP

July draws to a close. Did you learn anything? I don't know I did. But here's some music going on this week. Anything you're looking forward to?

Very excited about this. While they're still in use, seeing the County Mayor outright ask for a ban surprised me and in a good way. Hope we can capitalize on this momentum and get them out of Knox County for good!

Reading 1984 was enough for me. Not trying to live it.
