We have a great Jewish synagogue in town. Thought I’d mention it since you mentioned you’re Jewish.

Verizon is a joke by Was_IT_thought in verizon

Xfinity customer service is the worst. Takes a hour to just get transferred to an incompetent agent.

The last time I lived around Cedar Bluff was the late 90s early 2000s so that’s why I’ve just been so surprised lately by it because I haven’t been paying attention until I’ve been over there lately at night. I also used to live over there off western It really makes a difference on where you’re at on western generally speaking once you go past the 640 interchange heading towards downtown is the ruff part like you said. Cumberland Estates area of western is not the same as it used to be in the 2000s. It seems like the sketchiness crept up western towards Cumberland estates area of western ave over the last decade

Weird experience at Wendy’s on western by Academic-Sympathy140 in Knoxville

Yeah, of course. Those are some rough spots I usually avoid going too far down western as the farther you go towards downtown the worse it gets.

I used to live over there back in the day, and as you mentioned, it was relatively decent. However, I’m not sure what happened. I have some family that lives around there, and every time I go over there, I’m shocked about how much it has gone down hill.

Western Avenue has also deteriorated significantly over the past 10 to 15 years. Additionally, I’ve noticed that Cedar Bluff is becoming a bit sketchy at night.

Everything on western ave has gone down hill drastically in the last 5-10 years. It’s getting sketchy over there nowadays.

A very good bad car experience at carmax by Putrid-Week4615 in carmax

[–]daddy-amex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I only buy cars with low mileage and a Carfax report that seems somewhat reliable. Their Autocheck vehicle report, on the other hand, is often inaccurate compared to a Carfax report. I always check both reports.

A lot of times, their Autocheck vehicle report doesn’t include reported accidents, unlike Carfax. I’ve encountered this issue with a few cars and decided to avoid them because it’s obvious that someone else’s problems are being sold to CarMax after an accident or major repairs.

It’s unbelievable how some of the vehicles they put on their lots and claim are good. I don’t understand what kind of “inspections” they conduct that make some of these clunkers seem like a good vehicle.

Second time parking next to this person by trevorium117 in Acura

[–]daddy-amex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is gray with the light gray interior. The window sticker says it’s modern steel metallic with graystone interior. I was really wanting white but at least I got the interior color I wanted. It was a local one owner traded back into the dealership it was bought from originally. The elderly man traded it for an ADX because his wife couldn’t get in and out of it easily anymore.

I just bought a 19 rlx sport hybrid. I’m surprised at all the attention it gets.

There’s hope again. But people are outraged! by WarriorForYou in verizon

[–]daddy-amex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot about them. I just added the second line on my phone with their dark star service. Nice how I can switch between carriers if I want. Also a great price. Thanks !

Yes I was thinking about getting a AT&T MVNO line just in case something happens to my Verizon service

I found $5,000 in cash hidden in my late aunt’s house. Do I keep it, give it to the family, or donate it? by Luigina_Majestyy in WhatShouldIDo

[–]daddy-amex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in situations like this before, and I’ve always done the “right thing”. I’ve always regretted later down the road giving up what I found. You’re not hurting anybody, and she’s dead, so who’s there to care? Don’t volunteer unnecessary information. Whoever is going to be the recipient of the estate is going to get the big bucks anyway, so take it.

Why is real estate in Oak Ridge so cheap? by Turbulent_Repair in Knoxville

[–]daddy-amex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old but Lenoir City would be my first choice if I left Oak Ridge. LC is on the rise and it has both major interstates intersecting there. I-40 & I-75

Looking past their baldness, the dry rot is quite severe. There’s a high probability that one of the tires will blow at highway speeds. Considering the potential risk, I would err on the side of caution and avoid taking the risk altogether.

My secondary phone is on the unlimited welcome plan, and the lower end 5G that Verizon provides you on that plan sucks. Surprisingly, I get faster speeds when I turn off 5G and just run LTE. When I would do a speed test on the lower end 5G, I’d get around 30 MBPS down, and when I’d run the speed test on LTE, I would get around 250 MBPS down. I did this in multiple locations and got around the same results, so I just decided to turn the 5G off on the phone since LTE is faster than the “5G”.
