r/Knoxville

Big weekend ahead for Banana fans!

Knoxville public pools opening soon!

anyone seen them for sale around here?

Our beloved Honda is dying and we need to get something decent but aren't sure where to start. We don't really trust Facebook Marketplace as neither of us is mechanically inclined and wouldn't be sure we weren't getting fleeced. Any help is appreciated!

Awhile back I asked for restaurant suggestions and we decided on JC Holdway. We have been to Foothills Milling, RT Lodge, and Dancing Bear already. Foothills had been our favorite so far.

Here is our review of JC Holdway. We both ordered the chefs tasting menu, $129, a person. We had oysters and pork belly biscuits, both delicious. We both decided on the steak tartare for the 2nd course, it has pickled shallots so my husband didnt care for it (hes picky), but I thought it was absolutely decadent, I could eat it 3 meals a day. Then I had a risotto and my husband had a chicken, egg, gnocchi situation. Both were good, I wish the description on the risotto had been a little more...descriptive. The gnocchi chicken was the better of the 2 dishes. Then we both had the steak, which is our main comparison to Foothills. The taste and crust was better, the cook on the steak wasnt as good. The steaks at Foothills are literally like butter. I had an almond cake thing with a fancy name and it was divine and my husband had a chocolate tart which was a basic chocolate tart.

Atmosphere wise we both preferred Foothills, quieter, less cramped, and cooler (but we went in winter). Food wise I preferred JC Holdway and my husband preferred Foothills. We would eat at JC Holdway again but not order the tasting menu.

We are excited to try:

The Walnut Kitchen, Osteria Stella, DSB provisions, Northshore Brassarie, The Appalachian, The Kennedy.

Even though I would put this delicious food I had(but my husband didnt) in Richmond, at a furniture store, at my number 2 or 3.

While out and about in a McKay's shirt, a stranger approached me, glanced furtively around, leaned their upper body toward me and whispered that, "a bunch of us are about to put out a fundraiser for the new used books store." When asked the store name, the location, or where they're announcing, they mumbled that it'll be on all the socials and raced away. So, somewhere, at some time, there's going to be crowdfunding by furtive strangers for a new bookstore. I hope they post it here, because I'm not playing detective, no matter how oddly I heard about it.

So, 170 for kia hybrid. $100 electric car fee, $2.50 process, $3.00 mail. Stamps don't cost $3.00 and don't these people get paid? What are we paying for? Feels like official business with an underlying SCAM.

Up 180% since out of cycle reappraisal last year. Anyone else have increases like this? Seems crazy to me that the average increase is supposedly 60%. Located in South Knoxville. Property was a flip and reappraised prior to my purchase

North west Knox

Does anyone know if that facility takes walk-ins?

The various IRS call center numbers inevitably hang up on you due to "Extremely high call volume" --- even the line for scheduling a local appointment!!

I don't live anywhere close to it, so I'm hoping someone in this sub might know and save me the drive :)
