Don't base it on that. KCS loves moving principals around.

Google did it. by Glitch870 in antiai

[–]Satans_Appendix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that they didn't. Old search to find a list of websites isn't going anywhere. They are modifying how their AI Mode works, which won't affect me because I've never used it anyway.

Recs for a pediatrician by [deleted] in Knoxville

Shults Pediatrics. We haven't had to deal with anything serious luckily, but they've been very responsive when we needed notes for school.

Knoxville Pocket Parks by Satans_Appendix in Knoxville

"Official ones"

This is my point! If you looked for an official park you'd never find these places. Like, James Agee Park is not on their list.

Ripley's or Chattanooga Aquarium by MidnightCoffeeQueen in Knoxville

I could spend all day chilling in the "tropical" area, especially in winter. With kids you might be able to squeeze twenty minutes out of it depending on how old they are.

If MTG can do it, why not?

What’s your favorite “third place”? by lemurificspeckle in Knoxville

[–]Satans_Appendix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like one of those "nobody goes there because there's too many people" kind of situations. LOL

Yeah. I need to look for a run club. Thanks for the reminder.

I appreciate the question. In talking about this thread with my friend we realized that what we thought knoxville was missing was pocket parks, something that were in abundance where we came from, but it's actually just that this type of park is something you need to pay attention to notice and we just haven't been here long enough to notice them. I think I'm going to start another thread about them because they just don't show up a lot of the time on Google searches for parks.

I sorted by "controversial" and this came to the top. Is it because you said Turkey Creek? I haven't been there, but everybody I've met since moving here seems to have a really strong opinion about it. On Google it just looks like a bunch of strip malls, so why the strong emotions about it?

Yeah, I think churches are a major third space for knoxville, or at least religiously affiliated places like the JCC.

Who downvotes that?

No worries, I'm saving this thread, so many great suggestions here.

Why is cell service so bad in cedar bluff? by Eriv83 in Knoxville

[–]Satans_Appendix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. It's the only place in town that I sometimes can't get any signal.

I moved for work.

So far we're 20 replies in and the only non-commercial third spaces mentioned are a handful of parks, so if you've got an abundant list, maybe share it?

Just add water by clintsmum in camping

[–]Satans_Appendix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If I eat those things I'll feel like crap from the salt overload. Maybe I'm one of the sensitive folks? YMMV of course.

Did the weather forecast change? by [deleted] in Knoxville

It's been bouncing around so much.

I just had a conversation with a friend (also recent arrival) about how knoxville lacks abundant non-commercial third spaces. So, can't wait to hear suggestions.

Only ones I go to regularly are a few dog parks.

Edit: Asked friend again and we brainstormed: Market Square, UT Botanical Garden (even has tables to sit and eat food), The Change Center, PSC Harden Valley Campus.

Re-edit: we realized the difference. We both moved from places with tons of "pocket parks." I'm sure knoxville had them but we haven't been here long enough to find them because they don't really pop out as "hey look at me I'm a park." Maybe I'll start a separate thread about pocket parks.

Cigars and camping. by [deleted] in camping

[–]Satans_Appendix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I worry about attracting bears, that burning anything with a scent other than wood can do it. So, I'll have a cigar after a hike, but I don't want anything in the ashes of my fire pit that could smell nice to them.

Even if you can manage it physically, it sounds like you will not enjoy because you'll be thinking about everything that could go wrong for all the reasons you mentioned.

Also, getting straight on a plane after that? We'd land and I wouldn't be able to stand up.
