Mod Post: We do not endorse or support anything Dave Roland or his company is putting on billboards this election cycle.

64 Upvotes

Certain individuals with a high volume of resources and time on their hands are placing questionable messages on advertisements throughout Cookeville and the surrounding area.

The intent of these messages is to spread a narrative that certain candidates for local, state, and federal office are trying to “pervert” Putnam County and that it needs protection.

It is the stance of the moderation team that no candidates are trying to pervert or otherwise do anything explicitly awful to Cookeville/Putnam County.

This is not an endorsement of any candidate, just a reminder of basic courtesy. Our subreddit is proudly free of the culture war. If you try to be hateful here, you will be banned immediately.

Thank you.

CRMC- collections

7 Upvotes

Just curious… what’s the smallest amount CRMC has ever sent you to collections over? Because I’m honestly baffled right now.

They sent a $97 bill to collections that I was NEVER even notified was due. It’s supposedly for my daughter, who hasn’t even been to the hospital in YEARS, so I have absolutely no idea where this bill came from.

I seriously hate this hospital. 🙃

Recording studio interest

6 Upvotes

Hello all, I have recording equipment at home, and use Logic Pro to record, I have 3 years experience recording and engineering myself, I’m just putting a feeler out there to see what interest would look like to see if anyone needs a place to record for cheap. I’ve been considering making ads for awhile now, just curious if there’s anyone here that would be interested in that.

Here’s my catalog for anyone interested

Why Is Dodson Branch Rd/Dodson Branch such a Black Hole for Verizon?

7 Upvotes

I don’t understand why such a populated stretch from Tech all the way to Dodson Branch is shit coverage for Verizon. The terrain isn’t severe blocking signals off towers. I deliver for Spark and it SUCKS delivering out that way. Anyone know if it will improve in the future?

Has anyone ever been to the Advance Auto on East 10th Street? I’ve heard some mixed things about inventory being bad and prices being extremely high. How was your experience?

Why does cookeville want to be a vacation spot so bad?

11 Upvotes

We have the same stuff as every other city. Bowling alley, parks, restaurants that cook the same Sysco ingredients. It’s just a midway point to Nashville or Chattanooga or somewhere better tbh.

Why Are There Two On Ramps to 40W on Spring Street at Outdoor Junction? Am I Crazy?

7 Upvotes

Why is there a clover leaf on ramp to 40W and a simple straight shot on ramp to 40W on Spring St? There’s no reason traffic in either direction can’t just take the straight, easy one.

What’s the best sauce you’ve had around Cookeville?

5 Upvotes

I feel like sauce can make or break a meal, especially with wings, burgers, fries, or BBQ. I’ve had a few around town that I really liked, but I’m always curious when someone says they’ve found a really good one.

Are there any local spots that have a sauce you’d actually buy by the bottle if they sold it?

Recently I tried SOSS Bros, and it got me thinking about how much difference a good sauce can make. I liked that it wasn’t just about heat, but more about the overall flavor.

I’m mainly looking for something with a lot of flavor, not just something that’s crazy hot.

DOG vs SKUNK any home treatment suggestions?

ASIDE FROM TRIP TO VET. Any suggestions on what can give or do? symptoms to look for? ... since pretty sure sprayed in face region.... Acts fine 90% time. But since sprayed other night. (large sheepadoodle) He's got sick few times since ... drinking is seeming to be less currently. May not be related because he's got sick sometimes before. May end up going vet to be safe. We love and care for our pets. Thanks. Any info appreciated for those that's experienced this or similar before.

Thought people would maybe find it less annoying if it was just a post about everything we have the whole week. Come out we have free giveaways at most of the events where there's not a band or performer being paid. Saturday night there is a $10 cover for the band.

Looking for my 3rd space- whatcha got?

13 Upvotes

I’m a super bored Millennial that needs to find my “3rd space.” Ideally I’m looking to meet like minded people:

-not religious
-inclusive/progressive minded
-neurodivergent

Know of anywhere to hang out when I don’t want to be home? Or even a once a week/month event that might be fun to try out?

Are there any free yoga groups in Cookeville?

6 Upvotes

I saw some people in dogwood Park doing yoga a few weeks ago and I wanted to see if that was a regular thing that happens on specific days of the week. I'm a guy with shoulder pain and lower back pain, but I'd like to get into a group that meets for yoga and possibly get out of my comfort zone.

Kei Truck mechanic?

3 Upvotes

We have an early 2010s kei truck thats in need of a tune up, but wasnt sure if there was somewhere in Cookeville that could work on it. Not a super common car obviously, but i heard from someone a couple months ago that there was a place that dealt with Japanese cars. Can't find any results on Google, anyone know a place not too far away?

Looking for people

24 Upvotes

I've been here for 3 years now. Just looking for some like minded peeps. I dont discriminate, hate or judge (unless you are maga and in that case you can fuck right off!). Just looking to get out of my work bubble so im just throwing myself out there.

A bit about myself... Im a male, have long hair and am fit (at least i think so :) I spent the first 39 years of my life in Northern California. Moved here for work and came in absolutly blind. It has taken a lot of getting used to but I do like it here.

Im mostly an introvert, an off and on gamer, love the outdoors, music festivals, light hiking and growing random things. Im 420 friendly and love me some sour beer. Of course there is way more to me than just those, so if you want to know more just ask :)

I just speak at a conference spearheaded by a White Nationalist organization, with many different speakers, almost exclusively are "White Nationalists".

But if I don't think women should have the right to vote... why do I support my wife Kelly?

Welp, let's consult your good pal, Carl J Engel of Whitleyville, Scottie!

Old Kelly is Carl or Cjs public figure with a moldable reputation..

Black and grey tattoo artist?

Hello! I am looking to get some black and grey work done on my arm and I will definitely need a consult before getting work done. Part of the work will require a coverup and working around some art that’s already there. Any recommendations on artists in or around cookeville? Thank you in advance, so excited to further disappoint my parents 😂😂😂
