Ninety percent of the toilet paper the US consumes is made in the US. Chill, people.

Seriously, there's no need to panic-buy toilet paper. The port strikes aren't going to affect the TP supply. Don't be crazy.

Things to do in town around Christmas

I'm coming back home to visit family for Christmas and I'm looking for things to do while we are there (last week in December). My kids are mostly grown, and my elderly grandmother will be in tow with us wherever we go.

I know we will hit Noble Park for the lights, but that's really all I can think of. The parade is Dec 5th and I couldn't find any events on the Paducah travel site for the few days before Christmas.

I also understand it's 3 months til, so events might not be fully scheduled out yet.

Y'all have any suggestions on things to do around the area? I don't mind going south to Mayfield or even up into southern Illinois. I live in Houston so I'm used to hour drives haha.

Pumpkin Patches

Any recommendations on some good pumpkin patches in the area within a hour or 2? In my home state, Vala's Pumpkin Patch in NE was the go to. Not expecting anything that big, but something to make a day out of!

Best Chinese?

Please don’t say Chong’s but I’m looking for something that is similar to 1980s Chong on Jackson Street.

Kind people

I'm so thankful to the lady and 2 gentleman in Paducah who helped me get my car started enough to help me push it into a parking lot last night. I was so stressed out but they made my night by stopping and helping! My husband came and got it started and he drove it home. We made it safe! There really are still good people on the world! ❤️

Chicken Wings in Paducah metro area/WKY?

I'll be in Paducah in a couple of weeks and I'm the sort of person who both likes exploration and chicken wings. My buddy who's coming with me is equally enthused. I've put together a list of places that seem like they might be good "independent" options for wings in the region. Is there anything obvious that I'm missing or anything I can safely cross off as being hopeless?

Fishing feature story

Looking for an old timer who loves fishing, or a parent-child fishing duo, or honestly - anyone who loves fishing and has stories to tell. Would like to chat for an hour or so & take photos for a special newspaper publication. Hoping to do this in the next couple of days. Would prefer to go to Noble Park and talk to you while you're actively fishing. Anybody interested?

Best place to meet new people?

What's the best place around town to meet single, mature women? I'm single and just moved to town about 3 months ago. Looking for someone within my (38y/o) age range, or even older.

I am a single, white male. 6'6, about 250 lbs, dark hair and blue/green eyes. I have my own home and no roommates. I have my own vehicle. I have a good union blue collar job and I'm mechanically inclined and good with my hands.

I'm in Reidland. I work in town. I'm free most evenings and weekends. Not looking for a relationship right away but if we hit it off I'm not against it at all.

I also don't drink alcohol so I'd rather not hang around bars.

Games

Total BS charging parents to attend a middle school baseball game. I was told it was used for a booster club, ummm no. Plus no one was working the Score boards during both games and Bathrooms were nasty.

Mustang pride is a load of 💩.

Activities with kids

We are planning a road trip from Spring field MO to ATL for labor day and a stop in/near Paducah looks likely. What activities could we plan for the kids? We're avid hikers and swimmers so long as the hike is under 8 miles the kids are good. A kayak or river tube is also in the cards.

Overnight Parking/Boondock Camping

My wife and I are gonna spend two weeks in Paducah looking for a place to live/land to buy. We travel in 2020 Winnie Minnie it's a class C and fits perfectly within two normal parking spaces, no slide outs. I wanted to know if there any places we could park overnight and or Boondock camp. We have a solar generator to use so we won't make extra noise. Thanks for the help!

Also any advice for new comers who are married, childless Black millennials in their mid 30s? We are really big into creating community, thrifting, live music, and organizing/activism/volunteering

Looking for work

I have a lot of distant relatives who have lived in Paducah for ages. If anyone knows any of the Walsh family it is from my grandmas side. My parents moved from southern bama up to Paducah in January and Im anticipating moving down there in the coming months. I have a 10 year background in construction and trying to find something similar to my current field which is locksmithing and access control. I know of one company in town that does it but not sure if it would be a good fit. I dont neccesarly need to stick to Paducah because im also content with traveling for work. Is there any low voltage security companys in the area that are hiring I could email my resume to?

Auto shop

I’m looking to buy an older (10 yr old ) vehicle sight unseen from the Paducah area. I need a good reputable shop to do a pre purchase inspection. I don’t expect the vehicle to be pristine - but I do want an honest opinion of upcoming maintenance and value .

Any have a shop they really trust ?
