Hello everyone,

I’m looking for some great bass fishing locations in Tennessee for next year, focusing on rivers (heavily) and maybe some lakes near the mountains. I plan to rent a cabin in a small town (suggestions welcome and needed), as I’d prefer to avoid the larger tourist cities.

I would appreciate any recommendations for fishing spots, as well as insights on the best times of year to visit and why those times are ideal.

I also want to express my sympathy for the communities affected by Hurricane Helene. I know many areas are working hard to recover, and I hope to support local businesses during my visit.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Today is the last day of early voting. Please go vote if you haven’t already and can.

Hey yall!!! I doubt there is much to be done, but I am trying to figure out who these people are… This is a postcard picture and is from somewhere in the 1920s or 1930s. I know it is tied to my 3x great grandparents as their names are on the back, but I don’t know if they are meant to be the senders or the recipients. My 3x great grandparents were Clarence Alex Cobb and Allye Irvin Ezell Cobb, and they lived in the area of Indian Mound and Big Rock in Stewart County, Tennessee. The couple in the picture could be kin to Cobbs, Gaffords, or Ezells, from Stewart, Houston, Dickson, or Montgomery County in TN, or Trigg or Christian County in KY. Thank you in advance for any help yall can provide!

The lady asked if i was a first time voter and i said yes. She held this card in the air and yelled “ first time voter!” And the whole room clapped and cheered like one of those fake Reddit stories lol. Super embarrassing but pretty neat!

Where are the Memphis and Nashville voters?

Does anyone know any information about Old Tazwell , Tennessee? My great grandpa and his brother were in a boys home from about 1934 til the end of the 1940s. My grandma thinks the orphanage was in Old Tazwell but I haven't been able to find any information. Does someone know anything about an orphanage/children's home in Old Tazwell, TN?

I don’t care who you vote for just get out and make your voice heard! Very happy we have early voting! Makes it easy and simple and only took 10 min and line moved quick! So make your voice heard and vote! Think goodness for Robertson county having the button ones in stead of the resistive touch screen ones as well. So vote people! Doesn’t matter who just get out and vote!

I miss them so much. I used to love going to them as a teenager and I got an itch that just can't be scratched by YouTube. It has to be in person.

I never see anything about stuff like that in local news anymore and I'd like to go to one whenever the next one comes around.

I will never understand the electoral college, and honestly I’m just disillusioned. There are 50 states in the US but because most of them nearly always vote for the same party, in reality there are just a handful where both candidates stand a chance of winning. Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. If TN, like many other states, is not a battleground state then what is the point of my vote?

Visiting Gatlingburg and we got to see THE BMW. What an honor.

I'm over by rocket county and frankly I was wondering if there was a way to play music with others. I can play tuba but I'm not sure where to go to play in quartets or music groups or whatever. I just mainly did it in college and high school but not public type settings.

Hey everybody - hope you’re all planning on early voting or showing up in November!

I had a quick question about voting that might come across as paranoid, and it definitely sounds like it when I say it out loud, lol.

I live in semi-rural mid-south TN.

Someone I know Early Voted this morning, and he mentioned that when he finished up, he took his paper ballot to a dude at a machine. This dude was apparently the only person who actually sees who you vote for, because he has to check over the paper to make sure it’s done “correctly”. Well, then he puts it into a machine and says “You’re all done. Have a nice day!” ..or whatever.

So my question is… when this guy looks over the ballot, is there a “correct” way to feed it into the machine? Can he see the vote and feed it backwards or upside-down to negate the vote?

I know it sounds absurd, but with this year being such a divisive election, I don’t feel like it’s out of the realm of possibility for anyone, regardless of party, to try some dumb shit.

Thanks in advance!

I've looked up all the requirements to get one, I'm just confused why I need to go through the hoops to begin with. I've lived in TN my whole life, I've only ever had a license here, but for some reason I don't have a "real idea" the kind with the little star in the corner. I get that they need a birth certificate or whatever, but everyone else I know just happens to have one and didn't have to do the whole appointment with all the paperwork. They just got their license updated and it was fine. Did I do something wrong?
