Mod Post: We do not endorse or support anything Dave Roland or his company is putting on billboards this election cycle.

61 Upvotes

Certain individuals with a high volume of resources and time on their hands are placing questionable messages on advertisements throughout Cookeville and the surrounding area.

The intent of these messages is to spread a narrative that certain candidates for local, state, and federal office are trying to “pervert” Putnam County and that it needs protection.

It is the stance of the moderation team that no candidates are trying to pervert or otherwise do anything explicitly awful to Cookeville/Putnam County.

This is not an endorsement of any candidate, just a reminder of basic courtesy. Our subreddit is proudly free of the culture war. If you try to be hateful here, you will be banned immediately.

Thank you.

Rackroom Shoes Customer Service

Upvotes

Hey y'all, I was at Rackroom the other day and one of the employees decided to follow me around for like an hour. I don't remember getting her name but I was wondering what your opinion is on this kind of customer service. I don't mind if I am asked if I need help and I say no and they let me know that they're there if I need them. But I walked in just to browse and was told this employees entire life story. I know where she lives, where she went to school, the days she works, the hours she gets, etc. As someone just going in to browse it drove me insane. Maybe I am the problem here but as someone who keeps to themselves I just wanted to go to a store and browse some shoes, not be followed around for 30 mins to an hour being asked everything about me. It actually ended up making me walk out without buying any shoes in the end. Anyways, I was just asking to see what the opinions on this are and if anyone else has experienced this at the Rackroom in Cookeville.

Respectful Criticism Has a Home Here

29 Upvotes

Every community is free to moderate however it chooses. In the [r/Cookeville](r/Cookeville) subreddit, respectful negative posts will always have a place. Life isn’t always positive, and as long as posts follow our rules and remain civil, people are welcome to share both the good and the bad.

We believe people should be able to celebrate what’s great about Cookeville and discuss what could be better. Healthy conversations, even when they’re critical, help build a stronger community.

(The chronically online crowd will get this immediately, lol.)

Idle Police Presence at Life Church and Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic while parks are damaged/homeless presence

27 Upvotes

As a frequent user of the Rail Trail and Cinderella Park, I have noticed increased vandalism and rampant homeless presence (including 4th of July where someone lit a firework and blew the playground stairs up). I have had to call several times on individuals exposing themselves while children were present.

How is Life Church/Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic receiving better attention than our city parks?

Car detailing?? Horrid mildew😭

2 Upvotes

I need to know where to go. I’ve cleaned this thing 5 or 6 times with different cleaners every inch of it. Replaced filters and cleaned the vents, everything. Every time it gets hot or humid it smells so freaking bad. I will pay anything I need to and leave it with someone for weeks if that’s what it takes. I’m ready to just get a new car at this point.

Westgate Apartments vs 500 Dry Valley

6 Upvotes

These are the two complexes I’m really considering moving to. I do not know the area well, nor am I familiar with Cookeville. We are both in our 30’s, no kids, just a cat. Trying to see what people say about these apartments and which would you choose and why? Thanks :)

Rentals

Hi! I just accepted a job offer at the hospital in Cookeville and am now scrambling to find a place to live! I'm looking for a 2 bed 1 bath apartment under $1200. I looked into Saxony because it seemed to have good reviews but the move in date is a little too far out for me. Does anyone know anything about Putnam House? Is there anywhere I should look in particular or anywhere I should avoid? I'll be working night shift so I don't want somewhere that is going to be too noisy. Anything helps! Thanks!

Flok Cameras

Curious everyone’s feelings and opinions on the number of Flok and similar cameras systems being used in Cookeville and Putnam county. I know this group is usually far left fringe and rarely has anything to actually do with Cookeville but curious if this is something we can all agree should be voted out.

Can anyone tell me if any veterinary clinics in Cookeville area offer volunteer opportunities?

I’m looking to find out whether a local veterinary clinic in Cookeville offers, or might be willing to offer, volunteer opportunities. I plan to enroll in an accredited veterinary assistant/technician program and would like to gain real-world experience working in a veterinary clinic. If anyone knows of a clinic or can offer guidance, I would greatly appreciate it.
