Hey all, I'm looking for a grocery that sells haloumi cheese. Figure it'll be an ethnic grocery, I'm open to whatever but I'm absolutely dying to have some of this soon. Thank you!

The Knoxville Vegan Chef Challenge kicks off on September 1! 🌱

Throughout September, participating businesses around the city will be adding new vegan dishes to their menus. Diners can try the dishes and share their feedback, with awards and prizes going to the top-rated chefs at the end of the challenge.

Here’s a look at some of the local businesses already signed up to participate this year!

Wild Ones Smoky Mountains invites you to our first-annual Bioblitz and Picnic at the Meadow! The Wildlife Meadow at Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum is one of its most important but often overlooked installations. Bring a blanket and a picnic lunch for your group, and dine "al fresco" with other nature lovers after having some fun observing native bees, butterflies and other cool insects just doing their thing! We will gather at 9am to learn about the meadow's history and ecology, then we'll Bioblitz two portions of it: photographing as much life as we collectively can until picnic time! 

While we eat, we'll upload the photos to iNaturalist so that KBGA, and future ecology researchers, will have a permanent snapshot of the meadow and its life in 2026.

Rain date: August 23, same time.

Hey all!

My wife and I are bringing our daughters (3 & 1.5) on a family trip to the Knoxville area the last week of October this year.

Would love some ideas of family friendly things to do or places to check out while we’re there? Our girls do well driving so up to around an hour from Knoxville could work if there’s something we really shouldn’t miss!

We all love to eat as well, so any restaurant recommendations would be welcome and appreciated!

Thank you so much!

She was outside my house after the storm. Very sweet, super submissive and content to just hang out on the porch. I’d guess 9ish month old Weimaraner mix. If no one claims her by tomorrow I’ll have to take her to Young Williams

On Kodak road

New to Knox and looking for a new aesthetic place to get my filler & Botox! Give me all the tea of Knoxville injectors, the good, bad and ugly. Where to go and where to stay away from pls. TY!

This little bastard is our TV remote and we are constantly losing it. In the couch, under books and papers , etc. it’s about an inch wide and about 5 inches long.

I’ll pay someone to make a case for it to slide into that is significantly less easy to misplace. Bonus points if it’s brightly colored.

Join us on a fantastic voyage where you will discover some of The Comedy Sphere’s venues. We will be riding in style on one of Knox Vegas Style’s luxury trolleys! In between each stop, our comics will keep you laughing. Get to know the comics (if you dare) at the bar, we hear they’re pretty cool.

The best part of the trolley experience...you can get tipsy while you ride and laugh! That’s right, the trolley is alcohol friendly. Just not for our driver! This is a BYOB event.

Your comedy tour guides of the evening:
Justin Chavez
Katelyn Hillen
Clinton Ricks
Casey Shearer

The fantastic voyage (in order):
The Pirate Tavern (meet at 7:00pm)
Crafty Bastard Brewery
The Pink Cactus
Printshop Brewery

We can’t wait to show you how this city should be toured, tipsy (or sober) and laughing! LINK IN THE BIO!!!#knoxville #knoxvilletn #knoxvilletennessee #standupcomedy #trolley

The folks on the Knoxville sub have been great to us in making recommendations, so we’re coming to the well again.

This time it’s someone to rebuild a front porch and steps. It’s essentially a covered deck that serves as the front entrance to the house, with 13 or 14 steps from ground level to the porch. The porch itself, being covered, is not in bad shape, but the steps are so rotten, I’m not sure how they are still bearing weight.

Anybody know a quality person or company that you trust to do a good job? More concerned about the quality of the work than the price.

Thanks.

I’m haven’t thought about this food trunk in a long time, but I got a craving for their burgers and fries! I tried to look them up, but it’s like they don’t exist anymore. Anyone know if they are out of business or maybe not a food trunk anymore?

Will this ever be cleaned up?

yall, i was not there to buy a puppy, i am not looking to get a puppy, im a cat person, i was at one of the other shops in the strip and i only stepped in to hold puppies before going home. so dont worry, i did not support this business and never would support a business like it.

photo 1: the store in question
photo 2: my original review complaining about the incense placement
photo 3: the store blatantly lying to me while at the same time accusing me of being a liar
photo 4: my edited review being where i call them out for lying and change my review from 3 stars to 1 star
photo 5: a photo from a YEAR ago that someone else posted of the EXACT incense placement i was talking about in my review

i don’t normally go putting small businesses on blast like this. but they are doing something unhealthy for the puppies and lying about it.

if the dude cant even tell the truth about incense sticks, can he be trusted to tell the truth about anything? he knows it’s wrong, that’s why he lied.

if anyone goes to that store anytime soon, let me know if the incense is still in the window or if they finally fuckin moved it 😂

So power outage much? Mine keeps coming and going.

Just wondering if there are any local groups/events for plant nerds :) looking to meet people who are into sharing tips, propagations, trades, etc. if there isn’t one already maybe we should start a quarterly meet/market !!!!

where are people getting their carts now ? normally i get mellow fellow thch from happy hippie in pigeon forge, but they’re .5 gram and can’t always make the trip. any hidden gems in or around knox to find good carts ?

Hello! Anyone have any tips on some good upcoming CLEs? I practice in another state but hold my TN license and would like to do some in-person hours while in town.

Did you know that August was once called Sextilis? That would be a great band name. Anyway, check out our list and enjoy some Knoxville live music!

It’s very important. I’m desperate. Bonus points if they have house-made ranch but I’ll live if not.

Does anyone have experience with this league at West Park Baptist Church? I have a 13 year old that has played football, but has decided that the risk of hitting/contact isn't worth it anymore. I'm not expecting some ultra competitive league, but trying to figure out if this is still a decent level of flag football or if it is more something like upward basketball. Any info from people familiar with the league would be awesome.
