r/tricities

Absolutely upsetting. I feel so bad for the families and friends, for Milligan and the cycling community.

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.

Does anyone know a good reputable person to get a few loads of firewood from. We normally split our own however I was in FL most of the summer caring for my mom so we were unable get ready. I have contacted a few people on FB and they either don't respond of want to deliver at night.

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.

Cafe Mocha

I shall await a found location! (Hopefully)

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.

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!

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.

Does anyone here work as a TA with a bachelors in psych or a degree that’s not edu but a related field. If you don’t mind msging how much you get paid my director and HR is playing with me and i need some out side opinions.

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?

So I think I tracked down my car problem to a bad wheel bearing annnndddd um broke. Are there any churches or programs that would help me get a wheel hub assembly? I know they're not expensive but I can't even drive to do DoorDash right now. Thanks In advance!

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?

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.

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?

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.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone know of anywhere that offers couples massages around here. TIA!
