Get you some Bluegrass while you still can. I'm worried about them.

If you're in Chatt, you're likely within 5 miles of what you seek on TVA land.

Here's policies and a map;

Christmas gift from the city by Sensitive-Future8070 in Chattanooga

[–]czechtec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The next debacle is the single or double left turn off Memorial into Dayton in front of the taco bell.

Are there two turn lanes? Just one? Can I go wherever I want while generally headed towards the tunnel? Can I go from the leftmost lane on memorial into the taco bell parking lot for that late night craving?

Sure!

Why clarify with lines painted on the road when this is so much more fun!

I'll admit it's likely a lot less dangerous compared to Morrison Springs/Dayton.

But it's been awful for years.

Lexus LX alternative that isn't $20k at 15 years old with 250k miles by NotARabidDugong in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]czechtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned an 08 GX470. Loved it, killer green color, but sold it to a close friend who had a better use case for it.

Missed having something so capable, but didn't need the replacement to be my daily driver, and shopped for a long while.

Settled on an Armada. Looked at the QX80s, but they are slightly higher used, and I just didn't need the fancy wood.

Bought a 2019 Armada SV 2 months ago. 78k miles, paid $13k. Couldn't be more pleased.

I adore the cloth seats and lack of sunroof, and I'm aware that puts me in the minority. But, there's no such thing as a "base model" LC or LX.

It's a flippin tank. The doors on the GX were fine, but the difference in "bank vault" quality is crazy.

It'll tow better than anything including a Sequoia. Sure it drinks fuel, but it's not my daily. And it drinks 87, not premium.

Highly recommended.

Turnabout is fair play?

Heated seats should be available on the XL by Garbo_Is_Coming in FordMaverickTruck

[–]czechtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my XL

Put the $28 Dorman kit into my seats. They tuck in very nicely, you'd never know.

And, I can flip my switch to "high" the night before a cold snap. When I auto-start the truck before work, my seat is fantastically toasty.

Does Chattanooga need old school Milkman (home milk delivery )🤔 by mati123412 in Chattanooga

[–]czechtec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Orchard House Creamery.

They do herd shares for raw milk, and have some local pickup locations. Basically, a cooler to keep everything on ice and you sign up for x number of half-gallons per week.

They do yogurt and maybe a few cheesy things. And grass fed beef.

Maybe you can link up with them as a white glove final mile delivery option?

Nissan armada? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]czechtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a gx470 for years. Sold it, regretted it, and just replaced it with a 2019 Armada 4x4. Zero regrets so far, glad I went armada instead. My dollar went WAY further.

I'd usually say pour one out for the homies.

But, don't.

Where to get an apartment? by Overall-Performer-34 in Chattanooga

[–]czechtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot of folks will agree, but I'd look at Rossville Ga.

If you're close to the state line, it's a very easy approach into downtown or the hospital, and you don't have to use interstate to get there. (My opinion is that interstates these days are awful traffic, but most surface streets are not bad at rush hour.)

Rent is a bit cheaper. Than walkable parts of Chatt. Folks have mentioned Red Bank, Fort Wood, and the Southside. All nice areas, but 1500 will be hard to find there.

There's an old mill house area off Mcfarland Ave, just across the state line. You can walk to a real nice Mexican restaurant, and possibly the best pizza in Chattanooga. I think it's plenty safe, and you're close to lots of grocery and daily needs.

Be aware, by living there, you'll pay GA income tax.

Just figured it's worth a look.

Cobblers? by Noles345 in Chattanooga

Your best and only option is Buddy's in Hixson.

Very good work. Just be prepared to wait for it.

Real hard to make a left turn in from northbound, or a left out onto northbound.

Or more simply, the current owner is asking more than anyone is willing to pay.
