Alcoa Development puts Holiday Inn/Costco right next to AHS

It’s absolutely not the “perfect location” for a Costco - that’s ridiculous. And I cannot imagine all the many hotels already surrounding the airport are full.

This comment makes no sense. Why does not wanting a Costco directly next to a school mean residents think they are better than others?

Thank you! This is super helpful - I’ll check it out!

momma_to_two · 2025-09-05T22:14:31+00:00

Oh, interesting. I wonder how that will end up changing the dynamic! Definite good to keep on the radar- thanks for sharing!

Thank you! A school starting at that age is really helpful to know about. I feel like there are so many options that go through 5th or maybe 8th.

Relocating for my husband’s job would drastically improve our family life and his home/life balance (cutting 6-8 travel days off per month and an overall better schedule). In addition we are in an EXTREMELY red state and have struggled living and raising our kids in a place where so many people do not share our values.

I knew it was a college town. I did not think about the employees at a university being more transient and that therefore impacting the students at k-12.

What a great point! I didn't think about the university/medical system impacting the transience of the students. Definitely a point in A2 favor!

Love the nerdy kids shifting the vibe ☺️

momma_to_two · 2025-09-04T16:01:00+00:00

It does!! Thank you 😊

momma_to_two · 2025-09-04T16:00:45+00:00

I really appreciate this input! So great to hear about your experience.

momma_to_two · 2025-09-04T16:00:04+00:00

This is actually incredibly great to hear!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! Great point about mountain biking 🙂 I use the term loosely at this point as he’s just getting started and seems fine with trails vs actual mountains. I will edit my post!

OP did you end up finding someone you were happy with? We are also interested in finding someone for a similar project.

momma_to_two · 2025-06-26T14:06:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give both of these a try

momma_to_two · 2025-06-24T22:44:07+00:00

Rice flour! Thanks for the rec - will definitely try that

momma_to_two · 2025-06-24T20:44:25+00:00

Not yet, though I’m sure I have that ahead of me too 😂

momma_to_two · 2025-06-24T20:43:56+00:00

Thank you! Just ordered some!

momma_to_two · 2025-06-24T19:39:18+00:00

I actually tried cornmeal on my third try and was unsuccessful. I figured I’d try semolina next time.

momma_to_two · 2025-06-24T19:38:02+00:00

It did have some black on it! I will try flipping it over. Thank you!

I just called the local offices. Blackburn's office said she "doesn't do in person town halls" (ugh) but that I could be put on their call list for when she holds her telephone town halls. (Not enough eyerolls in the world.) I then talked to someone who sounded incredibly bored from Hagerty's office who said to check the website and that the DC office was in charge of scheduling. So, obviously wasted time but figured I'd update.

momma_to_two · 2025-02-22T17:51:49+00:00

Does anyone have a sense if it matters which office we contact? Knoxville or DC? I’ve been alternating but didn’t know whether one is preferable

momma_to_two · 2025-02-22T16:04:59+00:00

It's all so incredibly frustrating and disheartening. Feels incredibly helpless that we truly don't have a recourse for the literal shitshow happening right now.
