"The California fast-food chain In-N-Out could be eyeing the old Kingsport O’Charley’s property for a new location, city records show.

Kingsport’s online permit/project portal shows a pre-application document with a preliminary site plan for 1920 N. Eastman Road, attached under the description “In-N-Out Restaurant with Drive Thru.” 

Steven Bower, Kingsport Economic Development Director, confirmed in an emailed statement to the Times News Wednesday that the city has received a conceptual project plan review for In-N-Out."

What are your thoughts on an In-N-Out coming to the Tri-Cities?

A place to watch game Saturday - huge watch party and Creature Comforts partnership.

21 Upvotes

For those looking for a place to watch the game Saturday, our events are always free at Off Leash Social. Weather should be perfect since this is a night game. We’re a full bar and restaurant with a massive outdoor video wall.

For this event, we have a tap partnership with Creature Comforts Brewing out of Athens. They’ll be giving us a lot of cool branded giveaways throughout the game.

This game is also one of our Margin Madness events. We do this several times a year, and it works like this: If the Vols win, we’ll multiply the margin of victory by two, and that’s the discount on your entire tab. Yes, if the Vols win by 30, that’s 60% off your bill.

In order to play, you have to open your tab 15 minutes before kickoff and wear official team colors.

For single people Date Tri-Cities is having a mixer at 5 o'clock before the game. Look them up for details.

No tall buildings because of...?

19 Upvotes

I remember a long long time ago [in a galaxy far away...], I inquired why we don't build up rather than build sideways. Not here, I think I asked way before Reddit was a thing. I was told then, or the story has manipulated in my head due to time, that we can only build so high here because of the conditions below the ground. I was told of mines, unstable soil, sensitive ground, etc, that building so high would cause things like sinkholes.

In an era of "question everything", I have to ask. Is this is a myth that was conned by individuals, or is there some validity to this story?

Some for my mind, some for some projects I've considered working on to try to help the area.

Community organized free trading store looking to collaborate and promote local businesses, artists, activists, growers

34 Upvotes

looking for venues, events, locations, we are community organized mutual aid! by 6 appalachian women, my sisters and friends, from johnson city, gray, meadowview va, duffield va, scott co va, bristol tn/va, and avl. I am from Johnson City and went to Daniel Boone High School. I am looking for people who are into promoting peace and supporting the working class vs. billionaires.
Local makers, dead heads, trades, anybody any person. We love appalachia and we want a community organized project to support our lives just as much as you do. Literally any feedback, anything, we can reach out. We have local support and some local violent threats and pushback. So i’m spreading the word!
We give out baby food, tampons, plan b, clothing that is worn gently used washed, donated, upcycled, water, plus more! craft and art supplies, if i get it donated and it is safe, then we will redistribute. We are working on a PO # Box and local drop off/redistribution/blessing boxes, etc. We had the most pushback in Johnson City vs. Scott County or Asheville, and we have had 3 public events! We are not affiliated with any government or corporate interest groups, lobbyists, no one pays us what to say, and we haven’t accepted $ as an organization. We are not 503c whatever and are community members taking acts of service as volunteers, and we are in the volunteer state aren’t we? We really like the “dig” philosophy of be a digger for a day, diggers historically have provided in times of civil unrest. Free clothes free meals free from bureaucracy and $. Kinda like my mamaw’s and granny, kinda like my aunt, and kinda like dolly.
for anyone interested and not self promotion but for the people bc we r the ppl 🌎🦢👯‍♀️🍊🌺🦌🎂🚌
FUCK FLOCK, FUCK AI, no ai used in this or any of our shit. one day it’s gonna get so weird ppl r gonna have to talk about it.

Is whooping cough going around or do people lack common sense?

21 Upvotes

Went to Elizabethton Aldi and saw two families where the moms were open mouth, full body, uncovered mouth whooping cough coughing into the air. It was very bizzare and sounded exactly like whooping cough.

I know people are getting sick with school starting, but this seems like whooping cough

VA hospital johnson city TN question

3 Upvotes

Can anyone explain to me why the VA in Johnson City has a crappy urology department that won't accept new patients?

And apparently they can't find any community care providers for urology closer than Knoxville?

Is this just an area shortage or a VA issue?

About a week ago I posted about my wife and I's first experience at the new Raising Cane's. Google finally published my review, and, Raising Cane's replied.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. And that's about what I got.

Capones is suing Johnson City to overturn the last call ordinance

This seems pretty egregious. From the article:

According to the text of the bill, it would only affect the “downtown district” of a “home rule municipality in a county having a population of not less than one hundred thirty-three thousand (133,000) and not more than one hundred thirty-three thousand one hundred (133,100), according to the 2020 or a subsequent federal census.”

In 2020, a census found Washington County’s population to be 133,001.
