Ugg cleaners

Does anyone know where I can get some leather footwear similar to UGGs cleaned? I've tried several cleaners around and no one does.

WHERES THE PUMPKINS

Help. I’ve been to Walmart and Home Depot already to get a pumpkin for some Halloween crafts and there’s none. Does anyone know of a store that still has them?

Update: I stole a pumpkin. I’m horrible. I left $5. I tried target, Walmart, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Home Depot, lowes, food city, and even that church on Westland that has been full of pumpkins. Idk why I thought places sold pumpkins well into November.

Early Voting - Eternal Life Center for the win!

If you still haven't voted and don't like to wait in line, consider a trip to the Eternal Life Harvest Center on MLK. Huge line at Downtown West (probably about an hour), so I made the 15-minute drive down to Eternal Life, and I was in and out in about 5 minutes!

Knox County absentee ballot, write-in column box pre-selected

A paper absentee ballot form sent from Knox County has "Write In Column" pre-selected (see here: https://postimg.cc/xJW0nqZ1). When asked about this, Knox County Election Commission responded with "When the ballots are scanned on election day we go through and adjudicate the ballots". Anything to be concerned about?

"In the black" TN plates and the election

I've been seeing a lot of the "In the black" car plates in Knoxville and surrounding areas in the past year or so. Did some research and found that it's associated with Hamilton County mayor Weston Wamp and a conservative group - the Millenial Debt Foundation - which advocates for lower taxes, fiscal conservatism, and reducing the national debt (https://intheblack.org/#about-in-black).

I can imagine such initiatives to be attractive to Republicans, at least the mainstream pre-MAGA/non-MAGA folks. Trump's proposed policies are expected to add almost ~2x as much debt than Harris's proposed policies (https://www.crfb.org/papers/fiscal-impact-harris-and-trump-campaign-plans). I wonder if this is a missed opportunity for Harris's campaign that they do not emphasize this point. Given the number of fiscal conservatives across the US (as exemplified by the sheer number of these plates in TN), I think it's a good chance to convince the more moderate Republicans to vote blue.

... or maybe folks are getting those plates just cos they look cool..

Anyone here owns one of these plates, or know someone who owns one? If you/they are Republicans, does the increasing in govt spending (facilitated by the large proposed tax cuts) bother them, and how does it affect who you/they vote for?

So long crappy Internet Service Providers! Hello KUB Fiber (please don't let me down).

I'm looking forward to getting KUB fiber. Just came available in my neighborhood and I signed up the day I got notice.

Been using ATT DSL and it is absolute garbage. Just ran a speed test and it came back 24Mbps.

I pay $112 per month (they bundle it with Cable which I do not use, I only wanted the Internet service but it was cheaper to bundle). I plan to get "The Gig" plan (1,000 Mbps!!) which is all I need.

In this day and age it is rare to find a service that will provide increased speed/quality for 50% of the cost.

My install date can't get here soon enough.

Halloween night events

Hey yall, I am looking for something me and some friends to do for Halloween night (we don’t have kids). Like anywhere showing a Halloween movie, or anything festive really. I know of a couple of bar crawls but hitting the bars isn’t really what we’re looking for.

Suggestions?

Does anybody here like making movies?

Hello! I'm writing here because I'd really like to get to know more people in the Knoxville filmmaking community. I'm mostly a writer, but I've worked with friends on a few entries for the KHFF Grindhouse Grind-out doing SFX makeup and other behind-the-camera stuff.

Are there any online communities out there? Discord? Facebook? I'd love to network!
