Long shot!

Today around 2pm my family and I walked from the Locus street garage to the Tennessee Theater along Clinch and then on to Gay. When we got to the theater I noticed my necklace had broken and my Pendant was missing. We didn't have time to backtrack. But by the time we did walk back that way it was long gone. If anyone happened to see it and pick it up or know of someone who has a new pendant I would greatly appreciate it back. It was a gift from my late MIL. I know this is a long shot, but it has a lot of sentimental value to me and we can't get another. TIA

What's SlowKno running club like?

I'm getting into running as an elder millennial and trying to train for a 10K next summer. I have a friend who is doing half marathons and I want to run a 10K with her, but for me it's all about the endorphins/stress relief/aging well, I have no interest in running increasingly difficult races. The local group that looks most on my level has "slow" in their name, which is super appealing... does anyone have experience with this group? Would you recommend it? It's not, like, secretly a church group, is it? Is it a welcoming group to new runners?

ISO Curly Hair Stylist … 👩🏽‍🦱

Is there anyone who can recommend a GOOD hairstylist that actually knows how to cut curly hair? I have 3b/3c, the price doesn't matter as long as they do not botch my hair & looking on Instagram, google, and Facebook I haven't really found anyone great unless they're outside the Knoxville area like Nashville.. :/

Anybody looking for a holiday buddy?

Hey all. Is anyone looking for a holiday pal? I’m a 28 year old guy with nothing to do, and would love to spend some time with ya! I’ll cook and clean (a reasonable amount), as well as engage in holiday games (even the worst ones). The only thing I ask in return is to not be sold. Happy Holidays!

Isaiah 117 House

I am a school counselor at a local elementary school. One of my students is in the care of the state and spends most of their daytime hours at Isaiah 117 House here in Knox, as they don’t have a placement yet. I have anonymously got them some gifts but I don’t know where the physical address of the house is, to drop them off. Rightfully so, their physical address is not available online to protect the kids’ privacy. But if ANYONE on here is willing to PM me and tell me how to get there, please help. I can show you my drivers license and school district ID to verify my identity. Thank you in advance.

Who tf names a residential road after Rush Limbaugh? West Knox (subdivision off of Mabry Hood between Bob Gray and Dutchtown) is certainly a... special place

More shootings lately?

Is it just me or have there been more shooting incidents in Knoxville lately?

It seems like a daily occurrence on the nightly news.

I don’t remember it being like this 5+ years ago.

What is causing this? What can we do to keep our community safe?

Knox county jail/rehab

Hi all, if anyone has any experience with this I’d love to learn more either via comments or DM. I need to go to jail soon. 45 day sentence but the last 28 of it is in some sort of rehab facility in Knoxville. I’ve gotten very little info about it. Have questions about commissary, the email thing on those tablets, and the rehab portion, as well as if there is anything I can bring to either or have people bring to me. Thanks!

Hair extensions

Hi all-

I had Aqua wefts installed in SLC back in October and need a move up soon. They are hand tied with k tips. Anyone have names of someone experienced in this hair system but not crazy expensive? I hate to have to fly to UT for a move up if I can get it here. Thank you.

ISO licensed electrician to do breaker replacement for hot water heater! ASAP. Paid gig.

I have a coworker living in whittle springs who is in need of an electrician to do a breaker/panel replacement or whatever is necessary to fix the problem ASAP. From what I gather the hot water heater caused a surge and damaged the breaker inside the box or something along those lines to where to fix it would require taking apart the breaker box and swapping out old switches for new switches or something like that. I'm not an electrician so I don't know exactly what would be required but she has experience enough to know that it's going to take more than just flipping a switch. She has been witout hot water for the last few days and everyone she's called has fallen through due to the holidays. Prefers licensed electrician so as to prevent "the whole damn house from burnin' down".

Willing to pay normal rate for such work but will also be taking "ASAP" into consideration.

Any leads would be appreciated!

Looking to purchase bone broth.

Does anyone know of any places to purchase quality bone broth? I’ve tried the cartons at the grocery store and they’re really sub par. I wish I had time to make it, but I thought I would check here.

Thanks!

Knoxville Sim Racing

If anyone in Knoxville is interested, I was thinking of starting a group for those interested in sim racing online with others in the area.

If interested, shoot me a DM and I’ll add you to a discord where we can chat and race together online.
