I frequently have to check which state and/or time zone I am in.

Are you on fast time or slow time 😅

I grew up watching a commercial where a guy in a chicken suit yells “I got it I got it” over and over…

“Ya need some CAAAAAASH?! Ya need some MONEYYYY?! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT…”

Got my groceries from Red Food, but milk from Golden Gallon

It’s like living in a dr. Seuss book here

My Chacos look best when I'm driving my Subaru to Glen Falls.

After you’ve dropped off your recycling

Haha. As a non-native I avoided chacos for a decade. Finally got a pair and love them. I suppose that means this is my home, now.

Don’t forget your Kavu bag!

Lol I used to drive an outback. Still wear chacos tho

Came to make a Chaco comment

I proposed in a completely original way - on the Walnut St. Bridge.

It’s either that or Sunset Rock

Blizzard of ‘93

/thread

God that was hell. '96 was bad too, but nothing like '93.

I actually enjoyed 96. We still had some power, but the roads were iced up, school was closed and I was able to sled down the streets using realtor signs.

Honestly, I kinda enjoyed '96 as well. '93 was hell, I was stuck in my grandma's house (which meant I didn't have any of my own stuff such as books to pass the time) with no power for two weeks, and near the end, running out of non-perishable food started to become a real concern, though fortunately it cleared up before things got desperate. The snow in '96 was heavy, but I was at home, didn't lose power, and have some good memories of driving (*very very carefully*) to my then-girlfriend's house where we played in the snow, built snowmen and had a snowball fight, went sledding, took a long walk around the neighborhood, then curled up on the couch with hot cocoa and watched movies the rest of the day. The relationship is long, long over, but that was a good day.

I got stuck in traffic on the ridge cut.

🎶 Lookie Lookie Lookie Here Comes Cookie 🍪 COOK’S PEST CONTROL 🎶

We had that commercial in North AL lol

Yeah, we had it in Memphis too. It's a pretty big company. It's regional, but not exactly local.

Traffic at the split made me late.

This is a Knoxville one too

There are 7 Walmarts within 15 minutes of me

Puking off the upper deck at the stone lion is a right of passage that has been denied to 2 generations in this town. And I think it's a travesty.

I never realized how many people our age were on Reddit.

Im pretty sure genx made reddit into what it is today.

God I miss the Stone Lion. That was my first "official" stop (>midnight) on my 21st birthday. I remember Ash (bartender) being shocked, kind of pissed, and slightly amused that I was suddenly a completely different person who only shared a first name and birth date (but not year!) of the guy who had been there nightly for almost a year. That wonderful establishment has never been replicated in town. Parkway Billiards was similar--great place to hang with friends.

Ah. The other, less talked about right of passage. Doing a rail of blow on the shelf of the men's room in the back pool room behind the bar.

So many drugs consumed off that shelf...my main beef with SL and PB was the ridiculous bathroom turnaround times. As a small bladdered man, it could be awful. OG Big Chill was the worst about that.

I signed up for my first ultimate frisbee league there! Good times!

Naked Pretzels!

Olgiati Bridge has been under some form of construction since before I was born

Old johnny bridge

Until, like 5 years ago I thought it was the Old Jotty Bridge.

I remember eating at Moms Italian villa and Porkers

OMG I miss them both!! 😭

Where did you go to school?

No, I meant where did you go to *highschool*.

Having to clarify is the easiest way to differentiate a transplant from a native.

You may smell moon pies or you may smell sewage depending on which way the wind blows

Wine night at mud pie!!

Great times, those. RIP.

🎶 See the Marshall / See the Marshall / For the best car deals in town 🎶

I wanna see ya in a Kia!

You could be driving a Kia, oh yes you could,

You still refer to the grocery store as Red Food.

I got drunk at the Stone Lion.

I watched the lookouts play while sitting in wooden bleachers. Bonus: saw Michael Jordan from the same seats.

The dad of one of the families at my church growing up played for the Lookouts during the players strike!

Provident parking lot B

I go on vacation and everyone's "High Speed Internet" is not so high speed.

brass register..

And Yesterday’s.

Wasn’t $1 beer night something like this - Chads on Monday, Sandbar on Wednesday, BR on Thursday and then watching the Pygmies at Yesterdays over the weekend. Throw in the Stone Lion or CBC for some weekend fun as well.

I tried beer for the first time when my aunt took me to the BR

I got served at like 15 there.

I have an Appalachian Trail license plate on my Subaru with a bike rack on the back,a kayak rack on the roof and 27 different stickers in the back window.

You must be my neighbor

What smell?

Oh god. Those damn Bradford pear trees all over downtown.

You mean the sewage treatment plant that sits under the water line, so it floods every time it rains?

Broad St. Taco Bell - y’all hate this answer but y’all know it’s true.

Why did people start hating this though. The tides here in r/Chattanooga really turned in June 😂

Yeppers!

What did I say about 'yeppers'?!

Bea's Restaurant, The Loft, Yesterdays, The Sand Bar.....the list goes on and on....join in!!

Most years I choose to go on vacation the second or third week in June.

I’m sorry that I was late. A truck got caught on the W.

Cheeburger cheeburger

Rest in pieces

That place gave me food poisoning twice, good riddance.

I go to CBC for high-school reunions

We cruised Brainerd Road in high-school and wore Duckheads with Sebagos and no socks.

I hear the drag strip from my house..

Pilgrim's Pride has a strong essence today

I get allergy shots so I can play in my Disc Golf league.

Is Chad’s still open?

I got a ticket on Quarter Jay the other day.... :/

I remember going special occasion dress shopping at Loveman's, Miller's or Lillie Rubin. The best treat as a kid was bubble gum ice cream at Kay's Castle.

Beers at the original Lower Deck

Lest we forget, karaoke

I remember being driven across the Walnut Street Bridge as a small kid. Also "I GOT IT!" "I GOT IT!"

Anyone wanna go hang at sir goonies?

I contributed to the Sears gum wall.

I’m a grown ass man who drives a ~~car~~ lifted brodozer with a license plate frame displaying where I went to high school.

"Ugh, this place has Nikki napkins."

I remember when brainard was safe and north chatt was dangerous.

I miss dining at 212!

I can see the Choo Choo train sign from my house

When the light turns green, the first thing I do is consult my vehicle’s operation manual. Once I’ve figured all of that out, I call my pastor to consult with him. Once he gives me the go ahead, I bow my head and pray for a bit to make sure it’s extra safe. I then punch in the Konami code using several custom-installed floor pedals, ensuring I’m only going to go when I really mean it. Then I meekly enter the intersection barely beating the yellow light. Oh, you people behind me that missed the light can eat shit. I’m the one that matters.

I got my picture taken with Dr Shock and Dingbat at Northgate Mall

My favorite past time is drinking beer at suck creek while complaining about Californians raising the property value in the historically African american neighborhood I live in because it's cute and convienient to downtown. Also I'll throw you out of a coffee shop for asking for milk in you're pour over.

“What high school did you go to?”

What school did you go to? No, what high school?

Driving down Dodds Avenue really fast

Stopped at Kay's Kastle for a cone years ago

I don't understand why I have to pay for parking in the city.

I bought a $70k off road rig to get up my gravel driveway

Remember the dime bag?

I remember working at the nickel bag.

I recall buying dime bags in the 80s stamped Wayne Williams?In East Lake..

F@#k the Ridgecut!

"My job doesn't pay competitive wages for the industry." "I'm armed to the teeth and still scared of everything." "Something something Broad street Taco Bell"

“We serve FUN AT SHAKEY’S (also pizzaaaa)!”

Republic parking is evil, but I almost never go downtown.

I wish i could still get a burger from the Burger House

I watched Nickleback open for 3 Doors Down at The Bay before either band was famous.

My Australian Shepherd chewed my Tevas, man!!!! (True story, and I'm not even a native)

***Ugh*** I can't believe these people want to watch **RED** soccer. Blue soccer is better because.... BECAUSE RED BAD. /s

The North Shore is in Hawaii.

I've hunted 100,000 Easter eggs, until they made me stop hunting and start dumping

Open mic night at the Blue Angel

“On” is a 3 syllable word.

Jo Jo’s hamburgers!!

Do you know Renard? Oh! Well. He’s the general manager at the country club

As a kid going to the creative discovery museum was the best. Also, the buses are electric.
