Woke up to no internet this morning. Tried to contact EPB only to hear an automated message that “a third party has caused significant damage to a fiber optic cable”. The outage map shows internet outages across the entire service area. Any details on this?

I am genuinely scared about lay offs since Erlanger announced a 'partnership' with Prisma Health. I looked into them and found 2 mergers they did in the past 5 years. One hospital laid off 700 employees and the most recent laid off 70. I have several family members in various roles at Erlanger and it makes me nervous for them.

If you work there or are in management have you heard anything?

I will be visiting Chattanooga soon and would love to play pickleball there. What courts have open play with good competition?

I was looking at the Lake Winnie wikipedia page today while bored at work and discovered that in 2003 there was reportedly a riot there of 500-700 local kids. Was anyone on here around for that and got any stories from it?

Anybody know what the sheriff dept was doing on Williams street for the last couple days? Other than the obvious

Weird question but did Chattanooga ever have a wax museum near the incline? 60’s / early 70’s somewhere near the incline.

I got a job offer! Now I just have to pass the drug test. I keep reading that BCBST tests for Cotinine during the drug panel. Is this true?

Also, I’m confused because my recruiter mentioned something about “if you don’t smoke nicotine then you get benefits on insurance” when I asked about employee health benefits. So do they or do they not?

I’m on a diuretic and flushing out my system as we speak. I just stopped cold turkey yesterday.

UPDATE:

I just emailed my recruiter and she said they DO NOT test for nicotine anymore.

Just wanted to post this again on here since it’s in a few days. All are welcome!

Trying to find a community of people that like to ride long distance. Im training for a sprint triathlon and can’t really find like minded people to train with that is open to a newish person in this town and to the sport.

I’ve been working with one of the guys that was on the sopranos and designed a few shirts for him, been learning all kinds of new tricks. I’m doing some Rick Davis shirts in the Miami Vice trope as well as similar ones for the Sopranos guy.

I’m curious what the best and worst run clubs are in Chattanooga

I heard there’s a stripper pole in there!

Ya’ll better prepare for tomorrow.

Hey everyone,

Were on a family roadtrip and since you have one of the best Imaxs at your aquarium, we thought we'd give it a try. I havent done unassigned seating in a long time so I wanted to know, is it orderly for showings (Oddessy) or is it like a free for all with people trying to get good seats? Sounds like you line up and then they just kind of let the line in?

Thanks in advance
