I have a friend who confided in me the he was sa at a church school in that area. This lady was a teacher for years with young children and as he doesn’t have proof or any backing to stand on, and I firmly believe he’s not the only one, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to talk about whether they experienced anything at a church/school from 2011- 2019 in oak ridge specifically from a female perp. Keeping it vague bc we don’t want them finding out we are digging and have a case but it would have been grades from preschool to 2nd grade.

I’m helping my 82 yr old aunt apply for housing in Roane County. She is retired from K-25 and draws a small pension. I have to show where all of her income is from and need to get a statement of some kind from the pension administrator. What makes this tricky is my aunt is currently in an assisted living and the pension admin was never apprised of her updated address from years gone by - she gets nothing in the mail and I can’t find anything in her records. I am her POA, she is widowed with no children so I’m literally it.

Can someone tell me who the administrator of K-25 pensions is?? TIA.

That's right, some stupid cunt took it right off the back porch. My grandpa gave him this bike, and its got a very unique build do it should be easy to spot. Us and our buddies had plans to go biking this weekend, and when he went to check on the tires it was gone. 
It was stolen approximately a day ago at most, and from around townplace apartments/Grove market area just for a general place to look.
If you spot it being sold or out and about, please let me know via DMs! Any help is greatly appreciated, and there could be a money reward!

Just a friendly reminder that the speed limit on Robertsville Rd is 25mph. No one is required to go faster than that, for the sake of you getting somewhere quicker. If it bothers you, stay off Robertsville and stick to the main roads where you can pass people legally.

Just in the last few weeks, I've been illegally and recklessly passed 3 times, many of which felt the need to honk back at me, flip me off, stop in the middle of the street in front of me and yell at me, etc. For obeying the law. Please take your ignorance to someone else's neighborhood.

Edit: My apologies for all of the feelings I've injured for simply stating that people are being ridiculous, reckless and over the top with unwarranted and road rage. If you don't agree, scrolling is free!!

"You come across as a Karen! Why are you constantly attacking people in your other comments!" Maybe because I'm sick of feeling like my life is in danger every time I have to share the road with people who think pulling these stunts is "no big deal". It's like people forget driving isn't a videogame, and yes, your actions affect people around you.

Not my kitty. I found this by my house today and just want to help get some exposure.

Also they wwre doing it again as late as 2008... https://www.oakridger.com/story/news/local/2008/06/19/lightning-bugs-needed-again/63352828007/

Great vendors and delicious food!

Hiya peeps!

Does anyone know if the "Not Selected" text means that my application was not selected for further interviews?

Just a note that the Vivint/SmartHomePros guys are out.

Didn't appreciate him ambushing me in my driveway after dark.

This sounds like something a pimp would say! 6th District Anderson County Commissioner Mack Daddy - Anthony “Ant” Allen

Dear Oak Ridgers and the greater Anderson County populace. County Commissioners should vote for things that their constituents want, NOT push their views down their throats. Please read this crazy, almost Dr. Seuss-ish drivel. Then decide if this man sounds stable enough to represent you in your county! Remember - You aren’t smart enough to make your own decisions, let Anthony Allen - 6th District EMBARRASSMENT make them for you!

I may have an opportunity at Y12 and wanted to see what people think about working there (how's the culture, does it take forever to get in/out of the lot/buildings, etc). Can anyone compare the work culture to ORNL?

Does anyone know anything about UCOR, specifically laborer jobs? It seems there are never any openings. How hard it is to get on at UCOR?

Has anyone ever had a Oak Ridge Tow Company move your vehicle because they needed more room to access a vehicle parked right beside you or because they were not at the right angle to retrieve the car that they were intending to tow? I am curious because when I was coming out to my car yesterday morning, it was no longer forward facing it was backed in. It is also crooked in the parking space, also the drivers door was unlocked and I noticed that there was a plastic small piece next to the gearshift that had been popped off and it looked like someone had access or put a tool in the spot which I know is called a shift lock, allowing the car to be put in neutral.there’s way more to this story but I don’t wanna make it longer. I’m wondering if anyone has ever had anything like that happen with a tow company especially Oak Ridge tow Company

I run a bar/brewery trivia company in the Knoxville are. I'm looking for high-energy people to host games for us, specifically around Oak Ridge! We are adding more new bars now and are needing new hosts.

I provide everything for you. All you need to do is host for an hour and a half. It's a fun side hustle and you usually get free food/beer. Pay is $50 per game. You can commit to as little as one night per week, or more if you'd like! I’ll work to make it fit your schedule.

If you'd like more information on the job or to apply, check out my website!

I was scrolling through mountain dews twitter and saw that you guys had the cooler drop right here and I couldn’t get it in time but you can still get the cooler if you save up enough points which are only obtainable from 12 and 24 packs and since I’m not that heavy of a mtn dew drinker I was wondering if you could pm the code inside the boxes on any leftover boxes you had if you have no intention of using them , Thanks

anyone know when quiet hours are? like what time are noise ordinances in place?

I know that I'm probably the youngest user here, and will probably not be taken seriously, but I have a legitimate question. There is a water tower up near Outer Drive that has a big sloped grassy area behind it, and some friends and I were wondering if it was legal to be in that grassy area, because we aren't sure if that patch of land belongs to the government or if it's private property. Figured this would be a good place to ask.

Just moved to the area fairly recently from Knoxville. Looking to see what spots are the best go-to’s around here?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AI Meets History: The Big Pool Preservation Project Launches to Save Oak Ridge’s Iconic Landmark

Marketing Professionals and Pool Lovers Unite Their Expertise to Champion Oak Ridge’s Historic ‘Big Pool’ Through Innovative AI-Driven Campaign

Dateline: OAK RIDGE, TN – July 18, 2024

A team of passionate professionals has launched “The Big Pool Preservation Project,” an innovative AI-powered initiative aimed at saving the historic Oak Ridge Outdoor Municipal Community Pool. This groundbreaking effort combines cutting-edge technology with deep historical research to protect an irreplaceable 80-year-old landmark that stands as a testament to Oak Ridge’s unique Manhattan Project legacy.

The Oak Ridge Pool, affectionately known as “The Big Pool,” is a marvel of engineering and a cherished community asset:

Originally a local spring-fed pond, transformed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Opened on July 29, 1944, during the Manhattan Project era Second largest spring-fed pool in the United States, with a 2.2 million-gallon capacity Features a unique design with zero-entry access and depths up to 13.5 feet Desegregated in 1955, marking a significant moment in local civil rights history Recognized with a Historic Preservation Award in 2019 and a Tennessee Historical Commission Marker in 2022 The project features:

“The Story”: An AI-narrated exploration of The Big Pool’s rich history and community impact. Interactive Timeline: A comprehensive chronicle of the pool’s 80-year history. Dive AI Chatbot: An AI-powered platform for engaging discussions about the pool’s past and future. Community Outreach: Tools to spread awareness and encourage participation. The team behind the Big Pool Preservation Project brings together local knowledge, historical expertise, and technological innovation. Their shared passion for the pool and its history drives their commitment to its preservation.

“This pool isn’t just about swimming—it’s about community, progress, and shared experiences,” notes Denise Dunlap Billings, who has multi-generational ties to the pool, and channeled that passion into founding a “Save the Oak Ridge Pool” group on Facebook. “By weaving together historical facts and personal stories, we’re creating a narrative that resonates with people far beyond Oak Ridge.”

The preservation effort comes at a critical time, as the pool faces threats of demolition and replacement, with recent city proposals suggesting options costing up to $29 million. The Big Pool Preservation Project aims to explore alternative solutions that would preserve the pool’s historic character while addressing necessary repairs, potentially saving taxpayers millions while boosting local tourism and community engagement.

“This project represents a new frontier in historical preservation,” said Reva O’Hallarn, whose historic pools blog Swim History Girl has featured Oak Ridge Outdoor Pool twice. “By leveraging AI to process vast amounts of historic data, this isn’t just about preserving this pool. It’s an approach that can use community-driven heritage preservation to help protect facilities like this across the country.”

The team encourages supporters from Oak Ridge and beyond to visit thebigpoolstory.com to explore The Big Pool’s rich history, engage with the Dive AI chatbot, and join the Save the Oak Ridge Pool Facebook Group, which has grown to more than 3,000 members.

As the project gains momentum, it serves as a model for how communities can use technology to preserve their heritage, engage citizens, and shape their future. The Big Pool Preservation Project isn’t just about saving a pool—it’s about keeping the spirit of Oak Ridge’s innovative history alive for generations to come.

Looking to get into musky fishing and heard melton hill is the best lake around for it. Hoping to find people that can point me in the right direction to hook into some big ones.

I need some opinions. TW There's this person that I use to be friends with. Here lately he has been threatening me. Saying he's coming to get my kitten when I never even told him it was his (B4 he started this he would come over and play with her and always said "this is my cat. Not yours" never once took her home or anything) Anywho.. he has been threatening to come get her and I told him that he isn't allowed on my property. I've told him numerous times the cat isn't his and he is still threatening to come to my house and steal her. Even said "you can't stop me from coming over there." He is a SO against kids and he isn't registered for whatever reason which I just found out about last week. I do not want him around my family or kids. I also have proof where I paid for her and everything so I can prove she is mine. I just need to know what to do if he comes to my house.

Hey everyone, my name is Dakota and I’m looking for a roommate somewhere around the area. If anyone knows about anywhere that would be a good fit to stay that would appreciated. I’ve seen a couple of good places near the area myself but finding a roommate would make everything so much easier.

I appreciate anything you guys could do for me.

Anyone know of any plans for a Target coming to this area?

I’m retiring from the Marine Corps and considering OR. My wife and I work remote and my daughter will be entering her Junior year of high school. We have been here visiting all week and have searched everywhere from Greenback to OR and we really like the feel of it here in OR.

We are considering the Briarcliff Neighborhood and would love to hear any feedback! It looks like a great neighborhood and location!

We used to go there all the time years ago when my kid was younger. We went today for old time's sake and MAN has it really gone down hill.. it's like they're on the verge of going out of business but just waiting for the lease to be up before they fully shut down. No bowls for salads and soup, yet serving salad and soup at the salad bar. No ice in the ice machines. Barely any silverware for pasta and such. I feel like Pizza Inn is that elderly person everyone's watching and waiting to hear the passed away.. What's happened to the place?
