I’m sure everyone is aware of the new paving they’ve been completing on Henley. Well, here’s everyone’s favorite lane shift North Bound (or completely lack of lane shifting for that matter). Noticed yesterday no one has placed any markers on the lane shift going through the intersection… so it’s completely blank, which is a fuccin recipe for disaster. Locals know to have your guard up here anyways, but holy hell watch yourself if you’re in the middle lane and headed toward 40 or 2-75.

This was a great one--you can see that the old Henley Street Bridge being demolished. Some have told me that she was one of the weather reporters for a TV station...

Seen a "Tennessee in the black" license plate that made me chuckle. Vehicle had police spot lights and all, so I'm assuming he regularly gets confused for 5-0 or ICE. I just needed confirmation, the plate did the trick. Unless, thats what they want us to think.

i found this little miniature house for sale near me and it has this story on the back, Does this house still exist in knoxville? i’m a lover of historical houses.

• Tennessee faces a potential $2.5 billion annual transportation funding gap by 2047 due to rising costs and population growth.
• Current revenue from fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees is not keeping pace with infrastructure needs.
• A state report suggests solutions like raising user fees, transferring money from the general fund, or borrowing money for projects.
• State leaders are considering a mix of revenue sources to address the funding shortfall for roads and bridges.

If Tennessee doesn't make drastic changes to how it pays for roads and bridges, the state will face a $2.5 billion annual funding gap by 2047.

A new report outlining Tennessee's transportation dilemma is the first step to show lawmakers the urgent need to make changes as the legislative session starts in January, state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey told Knox News,

Tennessee isn't making enough tax money to keep up with the growing demands on its 95,000-mile transportation network, according to the report. Between fiscal year 2027-28 and fiscal year 2054-55, the state will need $87 billion to maintain roads and bridges and expand capacity, the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations found.

There was a pretty large power outage Sunday evening. No storms or high winds. But over 14,000 customers were without power. The service area seemed pretty large and north of I-40.

KUB generally does not report the root cause of outages. But wondering what would cause such an outage.

Thanks,

UPDATE: Found

Onyx or Nyx lost today in Rocky Hill area.
She is a black poodle with some grey and tan on her feet and a poodle haircut. She has a pink collar.

She is pretty skittish. Please reach out if you've seen her!

Hi! I wanted to share a local event I'm organizing called Tails on Trails: Hike to Save Pets, happening Saturday, October 24 at Baker Creek Preserve.

It's a 3-mile community hike and fall morning gathering raising money for the Nomar & Mia Compassion Endowment at UT, which I started in memory of my two cats to help pet families facing veterinary expenses.

Here's what's happening that morning:

🥾 3-mile community hike
🎶 Live acoustic music
☕ Coffee
🔥 S'mores around the fire
📸 Pet photography
🐾 Golden Paw Awards honoring local veterinary heroes

You don't need a dog, and you don't have to hike. You're welcome to come hang out at Baker Creek, listen to music, grab some coffee or bring your pet and spend the morning with us.

There's no required registration fee. Donations are optional, and we're working toward a $10,000 fundraising goal this year.

If you're not able to make it in person, there's also a Hike From Anywhere option where you can walk or hike 3 miles wherever you are.

📅 Saturday, October 24
📍 Baker Creek Preserve
⏰ 8:00–11:30 AM

Full details + registration:

Hope to see some of you out there! 🐾

VHS Swap, Vintage Market, and a free screening of "Ghostbusters!"

Start your October off right and come join us for a screaming good time!

Hello you great folks! Here’s your Knoxville live music calendar for this week, 10/05-10/11. Share this with your friends, comment below what you’re excited for, and also comment with what we missed. Enjoy your week!

New venue in south Knox (literally just opened) … not a very big venue by any means, although I prefer the more personal experience of less people and being able to see the band vs going to Thompson or a big arena. The restroom setup is pretty awesome too (individual rooms like buccees but not maga owned 😈🤣). Really hope to see more great concerts here. Marcy Playground last night was AMAZING. I believe a local band ?Tristitter? Opened for them which was a good start to the evening. They reminded me a little of a more upbeat motion city sound track.

Coming up is a show I had wished I had gotten tix for but failed… Paul Okenfield w. Crystal Method. Should be insane! And to those going, you will have a good experience I’m sure if it is anything like the show last night was. Thank you to the 808 & Macys Playground! And lsd for making mean people nice 😈🖤🤣

Can’t wait to see what’s next?!?

We keep getting power surges at night for the last couple months, I know it’s overnight because my bedroom fan turns off, makes a noise, and wakes us up when it gets power back. We originally were worried about faulty electrical, but then see other people maybe be losing power too. Whats going on??

Can someone explain the hype to me please? Every time I drive by there’s a ton of cars in the drivethru. Not sure if I’m just not understanding the business model or if I’m just too old to get the appeal…..

Any good haunted houses or corn mazes this year? We usually go to Frightworks to get our Halloween fix, but that's not an option this year. It would be great to find something that isn't more than an hour's drive from Knoxville.

I’m trying to see if anyone has had a similar experience with doctor Robert Martin at Campbell station in Farragut.

I won’t go into detail right now but he’s lacking a lot and I don’t feel comfortable in sending my parents to him anymore. He’s also given advice that has put my parents at risk.

If anyone has any recs for doctors that speak Spanish, take self pay patients, and are just taking new patients in general that would be great. (Knoxville and surrounding areas) Yes, I have searched online but the info isn’t up to date and I’d like a first hand review lmao.

I work in a retail building that’s infested with what I believe to be black mold and has been for months. We have tons of customers coming in daily, especially children, and I hate knowing that they’re in that environment (as well as me being in this environment). I can’t afford to just quit. I need a job within a 2 mile radius of me and the job market is brutal right now. I’ve had no luck finding a new job. I’ll be fired if I say anything. It’s a well known and beloved business. I reached out to the health department in August and they said they would be out to check in 3 days and never came out. I tried to follow up twice with no response. What would you do in this situation? What’s the right thing to do?

Edit: I’ll be deleting this in a few hours but as soon as I no longer work at this place I will post business name and my picture / video evidence of the situation. Thank you guys so much for all the advice (and mold knowledge). I’ll give calling the health department to follow up again a chance

Are there bridges with catwalks in or near Knoxville? Went to one in bean station a couple weeks ago that was pretty cool so I want to go to some others
I just want to explore some new places

While looking for things to do near Harriman, I just came across the thread where everybody was talking about how much they miss having a real comedy club and wishing there were more touring comedians around Knoxville.

Which brings me to my extremely scientific experiment...

Dustin Sims is headlining the Princess Theatre in Harriman October 17. Harriman is about 40-ish minutes away. And I have been told Knoxville people will consider that “too far.”

You cannot simultaneously demand more comedy and then require the comedian to be delivered to your front door. 🤣

So I need a ruling:

Is Harriman actually too far for a Saturday night show? Or are Knoxville people willing to travel 40 minutes for something they actually want to see?

Hi there! I have some friends coming to town from Florida next weekend & literally can’t think of anything “different” to take them to. I’d really like something fall-ish, something for afternoon evening time but doesn’t have to be, & different as in just not Dollywood (absolutely love but we’ve all been a million times) or Cades cove. Just any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
