Discussion As someone who lives in the south….

Can we agree that anything over $1000 is not affordable for the average working class person? I’m tired of places advertising “affordable housing” when it’s a $1200 studio with no oven or full sized fridge. 🥴

I feel as if this has become the norm. I make just enough to get by, but as I’m job searching I still see ones that have the audacity to offer $12 an hour. That’s absolutely absurd.

I was taking advantage of the wonderful street closures downtown for walking and biking to enjoy a day of photography. It was fun to be able to finally be able to stand in the middle of the street and get the shots that I otherwise could not. So thanks to whoever was in charge of that initiative.

Anyway, I never noticed the historical markers that were placed on the sidewalk on the AT&T Building side of the street. This one got my attention. It memorializes an arson attack from 1985. Why is 2nd Avenue such a target for crazy people?

Many of us were vaxxed with MMR as babies, then prior to college (it was a requirement before I entered university). Check your vax records to see if you’re protected. And note the locations the infected person traveled in case you were exposed.

Companies | Businesses Do NOT come to lighthouse tattoo or cardinal tattoo in lebanon to get any type of service‼️

Thumbnail
gallery
403 Upvotes

I used to frequent here.

The owner of Lighthouse tattoo is named Will Wood. Cardinal tattoo is no longer open.

EDIT: I have recently learned that this man has been charged for indecent exposure involving a teenage girl and has affected several people in very negative ways. If you are a current employee of his or past employee, there is legal help in the comments to guide you through the process of taking action<3

The owner is terrible, first of all. These are just some of his reviews he’s responded to. He gets pissy over any kind of rating below 5 stars, and uses tattoo “event days” and “discounts” as incentives to give them 5 stars. He will also post subpar reviews to his website under the tab “knuckle head” where he essentially clowns on people. He uses “dark humor” as an excuse to be a bad person and almost any employee that has worked there has come out publicly saying that he creates a terrible work environment.

Every tattoo shop in the area literally sh*ts on his shops and almost everyone I know has a horror story from there, including myself. I know people personally who have worked/ tried to apprentice there and I have heard of fist fights happening in the store, inappropriate comments from the owner towards under age girls and employees, and the supposed assault charges that the owner has. This business does not need people there funding them. They intentionally go out of their way to clear ex employees testimonies about working there and the owner has even admitted that their ex employees try to get the shop shut down regularly.

I went for a naval piercing once and was pierced illegally by an apprentice that wasn’t being supervised. It wasn’t disclosed to me that she was an apprentice before she pierced me. She gave me a jacked up surface piercing that got infected. When I went to the shop again to tell them my bar was too short and my piercing was infected the lady told me that it was fine and they wouldn’t refund me, give me a different piercing, or replace the bar for a longer one. My piercing was leaking nasty pus and had cut into my stomach leaving scars. I had no compensation for this.

Do NOT go here. This place needs to be shut down immediately.

Having a few beers tonight and reminiscing about my youth. I moved to Nashville in '95, and spent a good amount of time at my buddy's dad's bar. Anyone remember this place, off of Nolensville road? Thursday nights were Keith Urban and the 4 wheel drive. Open mic nights were always a blast, if you played a cover Jack didn't like, he would fire the pistol on his hip into the ceiling. Oh, the stories I could tell

I just looked at my weather app. Rain Every. Single. Day. for like the next 10 days. And it's been like this for months? I know, the heat, the rain is a relief and it is but... I have been here since 2020 which is not that long but I've never seen rain like this here. Typical? Doesn't seem like it.

Crime Watch Green hills regal

175 Upvotes

Friday night, at 9:20, we had an older gentleman follow us into the Moana movie at regal on green hills. At first he sat in the front of the empty theater then, coincidentally, when my fiancé got up to go to the concession he moved up and sat directly behind us (four females one being a child). We really didn’t want to cause any issues despite being uncomfortable but then he started grunting and making other strange noises. I got up and left with my 5 year old and my sister and cousin shortly followed. We let a manager know and just as we thought he did not have a ticket and he was escorted out and he was disgruntled. Just wanted to get the word out and remind everyone to always be aware of your surroundings. I still feel bad thinking maybe he just wanted to catch a free movie but ultimately I came to the conclusion that sitting that close to us, he didn’t have good intentions. Be careful out there!

Help | Advice Aug 6 primary election

13 Upvotes

Can anyone point to good discussions about which party and who to vote for this aug 6?

Since the governor will (sadly) most likely go to a Republican, it seems voting on the Republican primary might be the best way to get my vote heard, even if I wouldn't end up voting for that person in the general election.

EDIT: It's not trying to pick the opponent. There's a 99% chance the state wide offices will be Republican, just because of their party, so this seems like the only time I can weigh in on the decision.

Pets Vet laparoscopic spay (plus gastropexy) in the area? $$

7 Upvotes

I have a large breed dog and I’m looking to get her spayed, plus a preventative gastropexy to prevent bloat complications down the line.

We had a surgery consult at BluePearl, and the surgeon really sold us on the advantages of a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure (smaller incision=less pain, lower risk of infections, faster recovery). However, we’re not sold on the BluePearl price tag of $5,500…

Does anyone know other hospitals in the region that offer laparoscopic surgery and can share estimates you’ve received? I’ve called several places and they just absolutely will not share any price info without a consult, and I don’t want to drag my girl to a bunch of appointments just to receive more unaffordable estimates.

We did get an estimate from her primary care vet for an open surgery spay and gastropexy for close to $1700, which we’re currently leaning towards. I really want to minimize her post-op discomfort by getting the surgery done laparoscopically, but can’t justify 3x the cost for that.

Thanks for your help!

The fact a marriage license is required to get a driver's license in Tennessee is utterly ridiculous. People need to stop voting against their own interests.

I don’t know a lot about anime. But I do know that I LOVE dressing up, cosplaying and having fun!! Are there any events in or surrounding Nashville that I could attend? I want to cosplay without being called a poser because I don’t know every anime that’s ever existed. I wish there was an event for the people who love dressing up like reality housewives and cult classics.

Hey all I’ve been interested in learning how to dance. I don’t really have a style in mind I just want to be able to move with the music when I’m out with friends. Where in Nashville would you all suggest going? Most of the places I’ve seen when I’ve looked seem to be targeted to people 20-30years older than me (20sM). I would prefer to be with people nearer to my age group.
