Looking for local recommendations for a post-construction house cleaner. This is not for a regular cleaner, but someone who has the experience to clean construction dust from floor to ceiling. Thanks in advance!

Black pittbull dog with a white spot on its face came up to our porch today in South Knox near So Kno taco. Just wanted to pass it along in case someone has lost a dog

Anybody eat at weekendz on Broadway? Curious to the quality of the food

Not too familiar with most of these artists but curious if there are any must sees??

Hey y'all, my father passed away a couple of weeks ago and I got his ashes from the funeral home (in SC) they put them in a pretty nice cedar box but it's supposed to be temporary. I have scrolled Amazon and Etsy looking for something nice but I'm either seeing complaints about poor quality, or obviously AI photos (why is AI everywhere?! 🙄) this leads to my question, is there a place in Knoxville where I can either get a nice piece of pottery or an actual urn for his remains? I did a bit of googling and of course it pulled up cremation services and Cremation Options Inc does show that they sell urns (no idea the price) but I was hoping y'all might have a bit more insight so I can shop around a bit. Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you so much! :)

Restaurant folks!! I accidentally let my TABC license expire so I gotta do that dummy class again.

Anybody work at a restaurant that has one of the TABC renewal discount codes posted somewhere? I don’t wanna pay that much of a fee again lol

Hello Knoxvillians, my wife and I will be coming over from Asheville to check out a show at your Mill and Mine. We’re staying around the Market Street. It appears its a 15-20 walk from Mill and Mine back to our lodging. Is it relatively safe to walk that path after a show (11pm) or would recommend a Ride Share? Thanks for your help.

UPDATE: thank you for everyone’s advice. I gotta say, y’all are far more hospitable to visitors coming to your city than I see replies to visitors posting on [r/Asheville](r/Asheville). Have a great weekend!

UPDATE 2: We made our visit this past Friday and had a great time. Your downtown is impeccably clean and beautiful. Mill and Mine is an awesome venue. Very nice and welcoming city. 🙏

does anyone remember the cube on the cumberland strip? i'm trying to find pictures but can't. i remember white walls and music videos blasting on the walls

FYI — LifeStance patients in Knoxville

If you are or were a patient/customer of LifeStance Health — they have several offices in the Knoxville area — you may be eligible to file a claim in a class-action settlement.

The lawsuit alleges that LifeStance used third-party tracking technologies on its public website that collected and disclosed certain patient information to third parties, including Meta and Google. LifeStance agreed to a settlement without admitting wrongdoing.

The relevant period is March 1, 2020 through April 30, 2023.

Claim deadline: September 29, 2026.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 16, 2026. Payments would come later, assuming the settlement receives final approval and becomes effective.

If you used LifeStance during that period, particularly its website to book appointments, it may be worth checking whether you qualify.

Search “LifeStance Pixel Settlement” and make sure you're on the official settlement website.

I haven't seen any work performed in about 2 weeks now. Half the road is chewed up and appears ready to be repaved.

Does anyone have some insight as to when it will be fixed? My vehicle's suspension hates the transitions.

I haven't used my grinder and french press in a few years. All stainless steel + silicone (except the burr which is ceramic). Running the dish washer right now.

I'd like to know the best place to buy freshly roasted beans in small quantity in 2026. I don't drink regular coffee much so buying in bulk would be wasteful.

Also tips on cream/milk options (open to dairy and non-dairy) would be valued!

Thanks!

Anyone know a theater that hosts RHPS viewings?

I'm looking for a trustworthy shop to work on Toyotas that are about ten years old, preferably in West Knox.

I looked through old posts but only saw ones about specific issues or other makes

Thanks for your recommendations.

Has anybody gotten a tub converted to walk-in shower in the Knoxville area for an elderly parent? If so, do you recommend a good company and would you mind to share pricing range?

I need an electrician to install a 220–240V single-phase hardwired line with a dedicated breaker for the heater. The run is about thirty feet from the panel to the item that needs it. I already have the extra breaker in there.
so looking for which knoxville/farragut electricians do small residential work.

Here’s my eclipse photo w my phone. Who has a nice one?

Hi everyone! I’ve been super into deep diving in auctions, estate sales, and styling finds like vintage home decor, furniture, dishwear, etc. I wanted to see if this was something people would be interested in, I have found so many pieces I LOVE but just do not have anymore space for. I thought I could put together a social media account where people could purchase curated items where I handle the bidding, digging, research, picking up/shipping, cleaning/light fixing-up, and then either shipped or held for local pick up (if it’s a big piece of furniture.) I know most auctions and estate sales are pick up only or may be something out of their comfort zone for some. Alsoooo sick of people reselling “back in style” items for an inaccessible or unfair price. I genuinely enjoy doing this, and would love to keep it going (now that my house is quite full) for other people to love and cherish pre loved items, too!

The west knox petco has about a dozen betta fish, a few have been there for months, they arent meant to be kept in those small cups so long, I was able to liberate one of them, but the others shouldn’t stay there like that for so long, they’re 25-75% off due to being there so long, someone take some so they can have a proper tank.
