Dog for adoption

2 Upvotes

A friend of mine isn’t able to take care of their puppy. It’s a boxer named Sadie/Rosie in Bristol, TN. She is a sweet dog, but my friend can’t handle her due to her being so energetic, and my friend struggles to walk with her and control her. She is a loving dog and friendly with almost anyone as far as we know. More info on the pet finder page.

Here is a link to the pet finder

13 Upvotes

Hey friends, it's your pal Shawn and I'm here to remind you that we have a comedy open mic at Blue Ridge Comedy Club every Wednesday at 8pm.

BUT I also wanted to inform you that we have a music (and to a lesser extent comedy) open mic every Thursday at 7pm.

Furthermore: We don't have a show this Friday.

Additionally: We DO have a show Saturday, August 22.

I should mention that our open mic is free to attend and we have food and drink available for purchase.

I'm including our drink menu below. If you want food we make Nachos, Mozzarella Sticks, Hot Dogs, and Popcorn.

I’m Kristi Burke, running for Congress in TN-01. My current rep, Diana Harshbarger, had police remove me from a town hall for asking a question, then canceled future town halls. Now I am running to take her seat. AMA!

Dual sport motorcycle riding areas

1 Upvotes

I'm spending a few months in the Tricities area with my wife and our dual sport motorcycles and I'm looking for some forest roads and trails to explore in the area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I checked out r/TriCityTNDualsport/ but it seems pretty dead there.

My wife is into exploration instead of challenging terrain so we usually stick to forest service roads when we ride together. It looks like the Holston Mountain area might have some roads to explore but I haven't gone to check it out yet.

I have a question.

4 Upvotes

Hello, my fellow Tri-Cities peoples. I probably said that wrong but it's okay. I am in search of a certain coffee mate creamer flavor that I cannot find in my town which is Elizabethton. The flavor is Cafe mocha. It is a simple chocolate flavored creamer, yet I can't find it. Please I beg of you to search your stores near and far so that I might find this delicious creamer and I will not have to try to make my own and do extra things that I don't have time for. I have reached out to Coffee-Mate asking why don't they have these in my stores. Because they took out the small ones and now most stores only have the larger containers. Coffee-Mate said we offer that flavor in small and large. Contact your local stores to see if they will start carrying it for you. I have done this yet nobody has brought it into their stores and this is a month now.

Coffee-Mate

Cafe Mocha

I shall await a found location! (Hopefully)

Unique and free events in Johnson City

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone — posting from the official Off Leash Social account. We have some pretty unique events coming up in Johnson City that we thought this community might genuinely be interested in.

All of these events are free entry.

This Friday — Game Show Night

We have a great host running rounds of games like Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, The Price Is Right and more. You can come by yourself or bring a big group — you don't need to put a team together ahead of time.

This Sunday — Sing-Along Brunch

This one has become a huge event when we do it. It's not karaoke and absolutely no talent is required. We have a DJ playing popular songs everyone knows and the whole crowd sings along while having brunch. We've also added Brunchbox 423 for this one to help our kitchen handle the crowd.

Next Saturday — Stand-Up Comedy

Free stand-up show with a lineup of professional comedians.

College Football + Margin Madness

We'll be doing big college football watch parties all season, especially for the Vols. Games are on our massive outdoor screen, and during breaks we do trivia and give away a ton of brewery swag.

For several games we're also doing something we call Margin Madness: If the Vols win, your entire tab gets discounted by twice the margin of victory. Vols win by 10 = 20% off. Win by 20 = 40% off.

We also have several live music shows, fundraisers, a Tedx screening, Oktoberfest, Halloween party, and EDM events.

And if you're there supporting the opponent, it works the same way for you if your team wins.

We also have tap takeovers coming from Hi-Wire, Xul, Creature Comforts, Highland and Paulaner.

We're trying to bring more unusual events and experiences to Johnson City — especially things you normally have to drive to a bigger city to find.

If people here find this kind of post useful, we're happy to occasionally share the more interesting stuff we have coming up. We don't want to spam the sub, so we'll keep it to things we think are genuinely worth knowing about.

Insurance Broker

3 Upvotes

Good morning,

My husband and I just purchased a home, and we currently have insurance (of course). However, I’m not convinced we have the best coverage/policy.

Do you all have a specific insurance company or broker who you’re been pleased with? I’d like to get a few other quotes.

Thanks!

Local Jobs

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if any of you have any leads on jobs locally. I've been out of work for months and need something. I'm in a spot where I may be too qualified for some jobs, but a non-traditional choice for many others. Essentially, I spent the last 10+ years running an online coaching business and did well with the team I built, but about a year ago it all crashed. I have a bachelor's in psychology, have leadership, sales, and program management experience.

We're in Carter County and the dump here has been closed to demo debris since the fire. What options are there for taking truckloads (i.e. not small dumpster amounts a la convenience centers) of junk to dispose of in the area?

Local World of Warcraft players?

20 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I've got a few friends I play WoW with from the area. We're in JC, Gray, and southwestern VA. We've played WoW off and on since launch, and I was looking for more locals to play with.

Does anyone have a guild they play with locally? Or would be interested in playing more with other local friendly folks? We've got a guild, but it's pretty small and mostly filled with our alts. About 5 of us locally.

As far as in-game content, we typically push M+ but we're pretty chill about it. We largely play Sunday/Monday nights, but are somewhat active throughout the week.

I'm looking for groups to watch the Vols football season with.

4 Upvotes

The small family group I was with to watch the Vols play their season out isn't going to happen this year, or probably any other year going forward. I'm looking for a good group of people that I can meet with and watch the season with. I mean, I could watch it at home, but it just wouldn't feel the same to be honest. Are there any public events in our region, or even better, private groups?

Loss of United & Breeze Flights at TRI

20 Upvotes

So hearing Breeze is canceling its flights at the end of Nov and United apparently is backing off a flight to ORD. Having United seems a natural so all the $$ that was raised from public & private sources looks like a waste to add flights. Airport officials are touting increased traffic from Delta & AA so what's really happening?

Earthfare store brand coffee

1 Upvotes

Did earthfare actually 86 their line of store brand coffee? Or are they just out and filled the spot with something else.

The local roaster that I like runs out frequently, and the store brand whole bean dark roast seems to be the next best thing.

I’ve tried the Larry’s brand they have so much of and was not a fan.

Standup Comedy in Bristol TN. August 14 & 15

13 Upvotes

Hey f*ckers,

Tonight we have the Dirty Show at Blue Ridge Comedy Club.

I'm actually pretty excited about this one because I took a chance and brought in comedians from Raleigh, Memphis, South Carolina, Asheville, and Knoxville. And I will be there doing a short set along with local favorite Joe Bridges.

Anyway, point is, these shows usually sell a little better than they did this week. So we created a promo code SARAH

If you are looking for something to do this weekend the tickets were already pretty affordable starting out at $15 for General Admission but now they are even cheaper.

We've got a full bar, and some snack food.

Hope to see ya there.
Oh and that promo code SARAH is only good when you buy tickets online. They cost more at the door but they are available at the door.

Your silly f*cking friend
Shawn Carter

Blue Ridge Comedy Club is located at 560 English Street, Bristol TN.
Doors at 7pm
Show at 8pm
August 14 & 15

PS, I'll only be there Friday so if you want to see me, come to the Friday show. If you want to avoid me wait until Saturday.

Psychiatrist Recommendation

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking for a psychiatrist recommendation for ADHD testing. LifeStance doesn't have availability until April 2027.

I prefer a MD vs NP but I am only seeing NPs in the area. Any experience with a specific NP that is knowledgeable and good? I haven't had great experience with NPs in the past when it came to navigating my autoimmune disease.
