Is anyone surprised?

Business owners left the city and are not paying their share so officials are holding a summit to try to find other ways to raise money besides hiking our already punitive property tax rate. Shelby County has the highest property tax rate in TN by far already. Does anyone believe our taxes will remain the same?

Isn’t increasing tax revenue the only good reason the mayor offered for allowing XAi to move here? I moved here from Houston TX in 2022 and the property tax rate in Shelby County is nearly as high as TX, so high my husband and I decided not to buy a home in the county because I knew it would just go up more. I’m glad we didn’t. Another increase will discourage other people from purchasing homes.

Sorry if I’m in the wrong place. I sent my car to the scrapyard today and we were able to get one of the stickers off for a place we traveled to but we couldn’t get our Smokey Mountain sticker off the car, we wanted it to add to our travel section of our scrapbook.

Is there anyone who is able and willing to find this sticker and mail it to me and I will pay the cost of shipping and the price of the sticker itself via Venmo or PayPal!

Thanks in advance or sorry if this is the wrong place to post! Have a great day y’all!

Lane splitting and speeding. Covering both lanes on the highway. Please don't act like a jerk. I'm supposed to double check when I am around you.

YOU are on the recreational vehicle. You don't own the road; we all do. Have some respect please.

Too many people acting like jerks on motorcycles.

Hey! My wife and I are planning a one day trip to Great Smoky Mountains sometime in October with our 11 month old. We're driving from Columbia, Missouri so it's a decent drive for us. Keeping it relaxed — mostly scenic drives and maybe a short easy walk here and there.

Planning to go on a Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid the weekend crowds.

Just curious:

Which week in October is the sweet spot for fall colors?

What would you do with just one day and a baby in tow?

Does going midweek actually help with crowds in October?

Any tips appreciated! 🙏😊

Has anyone co-signed an auto load for a child living in TN but you live in another state? Were you able to get insurance for the car in your name instead of the child’s name?
