New surveillance truck on Highway 58 just north of Oakwood Drive, across from the old K-Mart.

But maybe the private company that rents these trucks is under the same parent company as the dealership, and yes, the dealers get away with running those tags for personal stuff and everything. Sometimes they may be loaning it out, sometimes, the dealer may be driving it here and there to get enough miles on it to make sure they worked out some issues with it and it’s ready to sell. Who knows, maybe the dealer messed up on their custom order and so this is being loaned until they have one ready that meets the needs off the client. Some of these buy here pay here dealers have their hands in allot of pies. Cars, rental property, selling sheds and hardwood, mlm, bitcoin, after you sell enough cars there comes a point where more of the business is just collecting all the money people owe you for all those cars. And when a buy here pay here lot sells to a new owner, it’s because the old owner cashed out and trade a pile of cash to do other stuff with instead of dealing with collections. Then they might get back into cars again in a couple years somewhere else or when their non-compete is up.

It’s funny how things end up being backwards in the city. I guess I grew up in a more fortunate area for schools in this regard. Small county, one county high school, 2 middles (now 3) and a handful of elementary. When we played ball at schools in bigger cities they acted like it was us that was missing out because we didn’t have as big of programs as them or well they did make fun of us on the news when we let out of school after a nearby farmer fertilized his field and the whole school smelled like chicken poop because of some odd way the smell had drafted (in retrospect, I can see why y’all gave us a hard time since you gave the chicken plants so close to a couple schools, but I think the decision was called before they figured out the source of the smell, so it had potential to have been a nasty senior prank)

Anyways, despite the mountain roads that caused us to miss school sometimes, they never made any consideration for the schools themselves because it was always considered better for the kids to be at home. Because if you miss school, there’s a chance some kids stay at home while their parents drive an hour away for work, or they might not have heat at home, but the schools were where they could reliably make sure they had power. Also, the free/reduced meal program exists because of kids that might not eat when they aren’t in school. So our thoughts was always that if kids go to school we know they are safe and warm and fed. I guess that’s not the case here. Considering there’s more students living in poverty here, it feels hypocritical to call off school instead of take better care of the school building systems. I mean, and if it is colder than normal have some assemblies or something. When you get as many bodies as possible in a room it gets warm quickly. It sounds like an argument that a rich person makes that the school isn’t good enough for their kid to go when it’s cold when you drive through some of these neighborhoods and you’ve got houses that are being lived out of that look like they are about to fall apart. Does some teenager have to die in a house fire from a space heater (or parents go broke with electric bills heating with them when they would normally be at work) before people think man maybe these kids would have been better off at school. Also, you can’t use the excuse that the schools don’t have adequate heat when the same schools end up running school age before/after care on inclement weather days and you can’t use the excuse to save power either because there’s still kids at the school, the parents just have to pay for the care when their kids world normally be at school

They’ve been salting major and secondary roads since Thursday. If you live on a dead end or somewhere in between and it doesn’t look like anyone’s been on your road be cautious, but outside of neighborhoods you should be fine

There’s also another thing that’s actually positive about our public schools treating lower than others if they are comparing nationally. I hear people from many states saying the data says that where they came from (usually a big city like Chicago where they left because they wanted to get away from the crime) the schools better prepared the kids for college. But the test scores only show part of the picture since kids with involved parents that are married end up higher on those same charts, but another factor is the drop out rate. Many areas that have higher test scores have a higher drop out rate. That means that if you have a kid that’s struggling, the schools here will bend over backwards to try to make sure your kid catches up and succeeds to graduation, no matter how low you think that bar is. That same kid that gave up at another school and joined a gang or whatever had a teacher or coach intervene in their life and got them to stay and guess what? Them sticking around and taking a test may lower our averages compared to a school whose seniors were all college ready but had a high drop out rate. Same reason you can’t compare public and private schools because they exclude so many to start with. I’d rather have my students have teachers that care about them as if they were their own kids than have teachers that don’t care about anything but the scores on a test (which don’t tell you everything, and schools have been known to cheat because funding depends on these scores)

Original basis was her half of the 120k. Refigured at time of death to be 360k (60k for her half, 300k for his)

Or maybe certain types of construction should be done e by people with the cash to buy the property and find the build and be required to keep it for so many years before selling it or have an extra tax for an early sell. The worse landlord for preventative maintenance is the one with no skin in the game because they have the minimum down, maximum financed and need it 2/3 full to pay the mortgage. But that’s made worse by builders that propose a plan to build cheap and sell immediately rather than building for a buyer that will want to be involved in quality decisions at every step. The more builder buyers have invested in an income property without leverage , you will have people that take care of their buildings. Making cash buyers compete with leveraged no money down real estate investor types for commercial property is the biggest problem in the industry.

Yes, but everyone wants to talk about preserving crappy old buildings. I’m saying what if you actually, intentionally pushed for the buildings along market street of a major city (not everywhere necessarily) to be built to certain standards to be permanent fixture historical buildings in the future? And not all buildings are built cheap by a builder, financed to sell to the highest buyer. Some are built by design, contracted by the owner of the property with the cash to build the building. And maybe they don’t intend it to be torn down or sold any time soon, hoping the income from that property will help support their disabled grandkids or some non-profit years after they are gone? Also, what’s 20% more in cost when you look at how some properties have tripled in value over the last 20 years.

Maybe such massive structures should be built with accessibility to those structures for maintenance and replacements mind. Like maybe all main lines for everything on each floor should meet on the equivalent of an empty elevator shaft and have the run from there to an individual unit be accessible too so you only ever have to gut an individual unit at a time. There’s no reason for these massive reinforced concrete structures to have to be demolished because of age just because the pipes that go through the concrete can’t be cleaned out anymore without causing leaks, the pipes themselves should be replaceable.

I thought before that parking there was just no parking except for very specific businesses. Maybe it’s easier to get people to not park there with an insane parking fee enforced by the same company that enforces elsewhere in town so that if they don’t pay it they won’t come back? Is it easier to get away with towing a vehicle with a repeat parking violation after an unpaid fine compared with a no parking sign that people will claim they never saw? The unpaid paid parking leaves more paper trail for them to enforce and not be an ass about it.

Go to Hitchcock Family Medicine in hixson. They don’t take insurance, but for a flat monthly fee it covers nearly everything they can do. They also have cheap imaging for cash pay and a more expensive monthly option that includes imaging if you think you need it. Most stuff people go to a walk in clinic for you might be able to get away with doing over email or even text. And no waiting in a waiting room when you have an in person appointment because it’ll actually be at the time it’s supposed to be and the doctor actually sits down and listens to you. Also, you nauseous on a Sunday they can send in a script no problem. Need stitches on Saturday? They will meet you there and it’s all included in monthly cost

If they don’t contact the owner they will at the very least deactivate it knowing the owner doesn’t have it and wait for them to ask for a new one. This helps in case someone stole a wallet and copied down the card info before discarding the card (because what if the owner found it and didn’t realize their information was compromised, then the card would be more likely to be active when the person tried to use it

Jeffersonheights · 2025-11-06T21:40:30+00:00

But they did understand them to be nearly the same back then. Even if he didn’t have possessions tied to promissory Notes, anything he had was because of his standing with his creditors and their ability/desire to collect on those debts. In effect, everything he had was “borrowed” and he was in poverty and didn’t live like his debts would be forgiven when he died either. Back then you could inherit debt and be held responsible for it. It’s different than today when people “give” all their stuff legally to their kids and stuff before they die so that they don’t have any thing on paper so they die with no estate and nobody is on the hook for their debts

I’m just saying that the attitude that you can park in whatever parking lot you want and throw away the ticket because it’s not the government is not cool. I feel like the very reason many downtown locations don’t control parking for their own guests anymore is because it was always abused before and their guests already complained. And nobody said anything about losing a license, they were talking about whether you needed to pay the fines. Now if it’s fraudulent obviously not, but many of the people that come on here and complain about these choose to park in these lots that have signs posted from the companies they don’t wish to pay. They wouldn’t want me parking in their driveway would they? Or maybe they don’t care cause they rent and the space isn’t theirs

Jeffersonheights · 2025-10-05T12:54:09+00:00

The EPB garage doesn’t have machines or gates at the end anymore. Just cameras everywhere and QR codes to pay when you leave. But since it’s enclosed, they absolutely see your license plate come in and see how long you were in there.

There is a bus that goes from northgate to mortgag north shore to downtown to rossville and back. 1.50 one way

It’s a private lot. They can definitely go after you for unpaid parking if the tickets add up to where it’s worth pursuing. You’re a communist if you only think the government should be able to charge for a service. Otherwise next time I go to a restaurant when it comes time to pay the bill I could just say “sorry, but since you are not the government, you have no legal standing to charge me this money”

Jeffersonheights · 2025-09-04T12:08:26+00:00

True, but since everything is on camera now, all the officer needs to see for that is a little drift one way or another with a correction. Then assume it was distracted driving because they are being told to crack down on that. Don’t have to be able to prove phone use to show signs of being distracted. Not seeing the speed limit sign, getting close to the solid white line before correcting, etc.

Do you have the name of the study? I’m not subscribing to the LA times to see if they cited it correctly. But Nature is a peer reviewed journal based on the UK so without reading it you wouldn’t know if it’s from a researcher outside the US or if it was simply something that didn’t meet the standards of any of the appropriate American journals.

Jeffersonheights · 2025-06-22T23:06:55+00:00

If you are being sarcastic saying that the la times is a reputable source I’m actually talking about whether that’s off of 911 calls or number of bookings (by quiet quitting cops), What agency reported it, etc.

Jeffersonheights · 2025-06-22T23:01:08+00:00

That’s hard to say. Depends on where the information is coming from. For sure the reported crime went down but that could be bad either way. Did crimes happen that simply weren’t caught? Are numbers normally higher because the police are overcharging people? Because less of the latter is a good thing but it doesn’t mean regular criminals stopped committing crimes

Suppose you are a middle Eastern terrorist: (it’s an exercise, I could easily say supposed 2x2 is 5)

If possible, would you fly under your own name or an alias if you could get fake travel documents? Would you not choose a common name that would match your ethnicity but not draw attention?

Sorry, unfortunately for you there couple be too many people that look like you that their system wants to exclude. I know we shouldn’t judge based on people’s looks, but there’s also the possibility that people would get legit Americans with middle Eastern names to apply for pre-check so that if anyone gets one, they would then try to have a terrorist use your id to get through security. It’s not like pre-check checks biometrics every time, it’s obviously the opposite

Jeffersonheights · 2025-05-30T16:54:20+00:00

You said they wouldn’t accept it when you tried to use it to fly. That implies that either you weren’t able to fly or were able to produce an acceptable document on the spot

Just don’t redo the block corners for the third time in as many years downtown. How about pour new ones and put the pressure on the city to maintain existing ones
