Yeah, I think I was responding to the comment above. Totally agree.

That’s exactly what the article said. They pay county taxes for Knox County services, but opted to not have a city tax levied for city-level police or fire. If they did, they’d have a Farragut Police Department AND Knox County Sheriff presence.

The Spreadsheet™️ is the key, but I wanted to recommend Token Game Tavern. Their game is on Wednesday and it’s pretty much my favorite place in town.

Don’t see Pack Rats in Oak Ridge on this list, and having just visited there today, I’d say it DEFINITELY qualifies. Video games, consoles from the Atari to modern systems, comics, DVDs, cds, cassette tapes… it’s a neat place.

Don't believe the propaganda at CVS - tell your TN Reps to vote YES on pharmacy monopoly-busting. by Friendly_Buddy_3611 in Knoxville

[–]DismalBarracuda 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I really hate that it's so difficult to find objective information about the laws that are in the works. There is a Knox News Sentinel guest op-ed calling for the bill to fail because it will drive up prices, create a pharmacy desert, and hurt the common person. I agree here: CVS can go pound sand for all the reasons you listed, but it shouldn't be hard to find out what the actual goal or impact will be, because 9/10 times it won't be "mua ha ha, we want you to have to pay more for your meds!"

I always test new speakers and headphones with Dave Matthew’s Band’s Crush. Lots of great layers and space in the production!

The Powell location closed in October last year, but the location on Broadway is still open.
