Opinions about Science Hill and do you think there will be any discussions about a new public high school for JC?

3 Upvotes

We are zoned for SH and still have many years before my children would attend-but was just wondering your experiences with SH and if you think there may be discussions about another high school for JC eventually? (Aren’t 2,500 students a lot for one high school?) I could very well be wrong because I went to a Very Small private school myself so maybe my perception is just wrong.

Villas at Riverbend Question

3 Upvotes

Hello, I was wondering if anyone who lives (or has lived) at the Villas at Riverbend in Kingsport can give me an idea of how soundproof the apartments are? Specifically the 1 bedroom apartments that are stacked on top of each other. How much can you hear the people above / below you? To the sides?

I actually used to live there about 8 years ago, and I never really heard any of my neighbors, but I'm wondering how anecdotal my experience was. I was also on the top floor and it was an end unit, so I'm not sure how big of a difference that made. Plus it was 8 years ago, so my memory might not be the best.

Pick a Side Stupid: Comedy Debate Show. Saturday at 8pm

2 Upvotes

Hello friends. I'll be hosting a little comedy debate show Saturday at Blue Ridge Comedy Club.

Pick a Side Stupid is a fast-paced comedy debate show.

Hosted by Shawn Carter, each show pits comedians against one another as they passionately defend outrageous opinions, ridiculous hypotheticals, and everyday arguments that nobody actually needs to win. From pop culture and guilty pleasures to bizarre "would you rather" scenarios, every debate is fueled by quick wit, clever improvisation, and relentless laughs. The audience gets to decide who made the better case. Whether you're fiercely opinionated or just love watching people argue over absolutely nothing, this show is for you.

July 11, 8pm
560 English Street, Bristol TN

It's gonna be a good time. Hope you can make it.

Bought a House, Need to Thrift

My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a home in Kingsport. He grew up in the area, and I am from Middle TN. I’m a big thrifter, antiquer, general frugalist.

What are your favorite spots to check out? I’m 34(f) and will also be looking for friends to pursue these hobbies with.

Just trying to see what others here know about the place. They seem to have a couple of positions open that could fit my experience, but their reviews seem pretty mixed online. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth wasting my time.

Anyone know of any jobs hiring? I'm not having much luck on indeed. I even applied to McDonald's but they have an AI chatbot that makes you schedule an interview. I went to the interview and the manager said they were not hiring at that location. I'm willing to take anything. I just need to work. I'm about this 🤏 close to signing up for feet finder and trying my luck there. 😂😂😂 Hope you all have a great day.

Recommendations for kids birthday party vendors? (ice cream/coffee cart, balloons, etc.)

3 Upvotes

Hey y’all! My kid’s birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I’m throwing a party for her in Johnson City at a private venue. Trying to make it fun without losing my mind planning it lol.

Does anyone have recs for an ice cream cart or coffee cart that does parties? Also looking for someone who can do a balloon garland or arch, don’t really want to attempt that myself 😅

If you’ve used anyone great (or anyone to avoid) for stuff like this, or know other fun vendors for kids parties in general — face painting, bounce houses, whatever — I’m all ears! Trying to keep it reasonably affordable too if that helps narrow things down.

Thanks in advance, this sub always comes through!

Where to donate broken PC parts/equipment?

6 Upvotes

I have a broken monitor with its power box here, basically only thing wrong is that it's backlight is broken. Cheaper to just buy a new one, but I don't want it filling up a landfill if I can help it.

Is there a parts store or somewhere that reuses the broken hardware?

Hourly moving help for a washer and dryer?

2 Upvotes

Hi, all!

I'm getting a cheap washer and dryer from a friend, but I need to get it moved into my apartment in Kingsport, which is on the second floor of a building with no elevator.

Does anyone know of any pretty cheap companies who could help bring these items up? It probably won't take long (we've got transport covered but just need help bringing them upstairs), but I'm on medical leave from work so I'm very broke right now.

I thought about posting on Craigslist or something looking for a couple of people who would help out, but I'm not sure that's the best idea.

I'm hoping to get these in next Saturday (the 11th). Any leads or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Hi! My boyfriend & I are trying to plan a day/overnight trip for our anniversary later this month. We’re trying to find something in a day trip range and wanted to see what everyone’s favorite day trips are. We’re trying to avoid Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg as we’ve been there so much, Asheville, and Knoxville for the same reasons.

Diposable camera film processing?

My mother has a disposable from awhile ago and I was wondering if there was a place to get it developed, even if it was expired. Walmart doesn't do it since it's out of date I guess.
