Where can I find different varieties of fish?
Hello I’m looking for something different than regular grocery stores because I can’t find anything other than farm raised salmon or tilapia. Is there any store that has a bunch of different fishes I can choose from?
KCS needs an overhaul
I know this is a basic rant, but It's infuriating that Knox County Schools have the gall to complain about losing some of their funding and attempt to cut positions that actually deal with the children instead of stopping to reevaluate the administration and the ridiculous amount that the superintendent and assistant superintendents get paid.
The hourly employees who deal with the actual children get $15/hr to get hit, spit, peed, and pooped on all while they also receive no vacation days, no breaks, ridiculous scheduling, and negative feedback all day long. But thank the gods for the 2% cost of living increase while the superintendent gets a $10,000 bonus.
And then you toss in articles like the one below and it gets even sillier.

Anyone have experience with Knox county small claims court?
We moved out of a rental apartment at the end of May and I’d really love to recover the $2100 security deposit on the place, but our former landlord has ghosted us since we returned the keys. I’ve read that landlords are obligated to return the security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions within 30 days of tenants vacating. I don’t have really any experience with this kind of thing but I’m thinking about filing in small claims to try to recover the money.
Has anyone gone through that process in Knox county? What was your experience like? $2100 would go a long way for me right now but I don’t want to throw away another $100 filing if it won’t go anywhere. Thanks for any insight!
Found a female dog in Seymour
She ran up to my partners brother and his girlfriend on Friday. She is very friendly. They took off the shock collar She had on since she was obviously lost. They took her to Young Williams to check for a chip and her brother said they couldn't take her in today but to come back tomorrow. We are keeping her for the day/night, maybe a little longer but we have two dogs and two cats already.
My Home Depot watermelons are growing. I love gardening here lol
Fireworks
Maybe I’m just getting old, but the incessant booms for hours on end is obnoxious. Have fun everyone!
For Chrissake stop the fireworks. It’s 11:10pm
I gotta work in the morning.
It’s mean to wildlife.
My kids are trying to sleep.
You will still be free tomorrow even if you don’t light up the whole mega pack of booms.
GO THE F@€& TO SLEEP!
What does it feel like to live in Knoxville
Hello they, thee, and themtlement, I am 24 male australian. I may have to move to Knoxville for work but I do not know what is the general vibe there.
Would be great if you can give me some recommendations, i.e., where people hangout, is it like a chill city, what people normally do on the weekends, where is the good place to stay, etc.
Anyway, thanks guys.
A bit about me if that’s important. I like history, maths, and literature. Currently have an undergrad in pure and a master in applied maths. I don’t mind a bit of a dead city because I grew up in Port Noarlunga and it is quite dead tbh, but the beaches are nice. I normally read for fun, and I love reading, either at home or in a coffee shop. I love going for a walk, either a bush walk or just a normal trail. I visited Vancouver and Toronto before and let just say, I didn’t have a very good time. But if Knoxville is chill and the people are cool, like Brisbane, then I would say it is a great city.
Dating apps
Are people still on these? It’s been a decade I don’t know what the people are doing now. Is there like a ‘Knoxville after dark’ lol
Looking for Board Game Groups?
I’m pretty new to the hobby and managed to get my hands on a copy of Gloomhaven, Twilight Imperium, and Spirit Island. I’ve heard amazing things about all of them, but looking at the rulebooks, I’m realizing I honestly don't have the time to learn them completely on my own.
Looking to see if there are any local board game groups, or just a few people, who would be down to play and maybe help teach a beginner.
Question for Fellow Transplants
I moved here about 8 years ago, what’s one thing about the area that shocked you?
For me it was Heat Lightning, I came from NJ and I had never seen that before I didn’t know it was a thing!!
(Picture for visibility)
This is not a post to bash transplants this is for us to share what different/better/cooler about here than where we grew up
4th of July Parachuting!
Anybody know anything about these people?
What’s your July 4th plan?
Where is everyone going tonight? Looking for events that don’t include going Downtown! Thanks! Happy Fourth 🎆🎇🇺🇸
KPD complaint
I hope everyone in Knoxville knows to make sure not to schedule their emergencies between 6 and 6:30am.
I work for a large grocery chain that opens at 6am, as soon as I got here to open the store, there was a shirtless, shoeless guy raging, throwing shit, screaming on our sidewalk.
So I call 9-1-1, as I’m on phone with dispatch, the guy entered the store, which I told her. She said someone would be on their way.
Ten minutes pass, and I watch as this guy tears apart our apparel department picking himself out a nice new outfit before crawling under our locked dressing room door.
At this point it’s been 15 minutes, and I go out onto the sidewalk to ask our cart guy if he’s seen anyone pull up yet.
Then I watch as the now fully dressed man (good for him, I guess) goes skipping out of the other entrance and out into the dawn.
At 6:30, I get a phone call—it’s an officer telling me they’ve “finished shift change” and want to know if I still need anyone to come out here.
I don’t really care about the crazy guy stealing our stuff, this is a large company, I hope his shiny new work boots serve him well as he skips off to fulfill his, I’m sure, very busy schedule. But it’s insane to me that I told KPD about a violent, unstable individual entering our building and the dispatcher doesn’t even have the decency to tell me it’ll be a half an hour before anyone even considers responding.
Happy 4th y’all
Curry & Queso off Lovell Rd.
I’ve driven by it a bunch of times and been curious but thought it was just a novelty. Finally stopped in today and it was actually fantastic! Whether you already love Indian food or if you are a beginner looking for an approachable way to try it. Everything was delicious. Don’t sleep on this place.
Highly recommend the naan taco with paneer or the butter chicken quesadilla but everything that the people I dined with was great.
Does anyone want to adopt a mouse or mice?
Moderators: Sorry if this post isn't allowed. I know buy/sell/trade is not allowed, but was unsure about pet adoption.
----
So, I just got two female mice and guess what - one was pregnant. I now have 7 or 8 babies who need a home.
Note: You can't house multiple males together - they will most likely fight, even if they are brothers. You *can* house multiple females together. Obviously you can't house males and females together unless you want lots of babies.
I am not selling these as feeder mice.
I'm not asking for an adoption fee, but I would like to see your cage setup to make sure they are going to a good home (and not into a snake's belly).
It will be between 2-4 weeks before you can get them, as they're still weaning.
Let me know if you're interested!
There’s a wreck on Adair Drive. Like someone flipped their vehicle into the ditch and there’s several police cars blocking the road.
Edit: it is gone now!
Thinking of switching from Planet Fitness to Gold’s Gym
I’ve been a member at planet fitness for a few years now and but I’m thinking about switching to Gold’s Gym. They seem to have a lot more free weights gym equipment. Has anybody else here done the same thing? I’ll be going to the one on Chapman Hwy and then the one in Oak Ridge whenever I move soon.
