A hiker staple in the area, it was voted as the best food on the trail in 2019 by hikers on thetrek. A bbq sandwich with slaw and onion rings was one of my favorites there. They will be missed.

Sad that this mountain gem is closing. It was great after a day on the slopes or hiking around Roan Mountain. I know a lot of AT thru hikers loved this spot too. It will be missed.

A growing number of emails involving homebuyers’ real estate transactions are being hacked by scammers. They create phishing emails resembling the emails of title companies, lenders, realtors or lawyers involved in the transactions and include instructions to complete the closing by wiring money to a bank account number which actually belongs to the scammer.

NRA-loving Texas has flubbed again when it comes to guns and elementary schools. This time, a superintendent left his gun in a Rising Star Elementary School bathroom, only to be found by a third-grader — who had recently moved from Uvalde.
And as if Ted Cruz's beloved armed school officials weren't incompetent enough, a teacher then allegedly asked another child to check and see if the gun was real. (And no, this is not The Onion.)
After more than three weeks, however, the now former superintendent, Robby Stuteville, has finally resigned. No word on the teacher's status.
Fortunately nobody was injured or killed this time around.
From WJHL on Feb. 18:

Giovanni Mata, father of a Rising Star student, said his son Leighton was one of the students that discovered the firearm. … "So the teacher asked another kid, my son… 'Can you go see if it's a real gun?' Why would you send a kid? Why not send someone else," Mata expressed. The incident took place in January, Rising Star Chief of Police Don Braly said his department was not made aware until recently, but an investigation is underway. "Why, we as parents, had to find out about it through the news. It only makes the school seem like they have something to hide," one parent stated. Some felt the issue was being over-emphasized, even addressing their crowd of fellow parents to reprimand. "How many of your kids have access to guns in your own home? A bunch of you, including mine. I think it's a mistake and I think that you pointing fingers at him for doing something like this is wrong," a parent said to the crowd. But for Mata who recently moved to Rising Star from Uvalde, the incident hits a little too close to home to just be swept under the rug.

And from Big Country Homepage:

Rising Star's superintendent has resigned days after parents in the district learned he left a firearm unattended in a school bathroom for a 3rd grader to find. District staff confirmed Superintendent Robby Stuteville submitted his resignation from Rising Star ISD effective immediately Monday, February 20. Tuesday, February 21, the Rising Star ISD Board of Trustees is holding an emergency meeting to discuss Stuteville's resignation and take appropriate action, including the matter of appointing an acting superintendent.

Two lawmakers would like to see a portion of the street near the Tennessee Capitol Building renamed for former President Donald Trump over the late Rep. John Lewis. Sen. Frank Nicely (R—Strawberry Plains) and Rep. Paul Sherrell (R—Sparta) introduced a bill that would rename two-tenths of a mile of Rep. John Lewis Way to President Donald Trump Boulevard.

This story is such a bummer, that area needs more density and to be more walkable (and they're working on it, which is great!) It seems like JC/Wash Co commissioners should focus on fixing existing problems before expanding to other areas.
It makes total sense to add dense housing near campus/downtown, but out in the burbs and farmland-surronded neighborhoods on two lane roads with no shoulder or median? Not so much.
Here is an account of my first hand experience:
I urge you, dear reader: always be weary and keep one eye on out-of-state-owned developments that want to add density, SFH that are 4 feet from each other (and the county/city commissioners who say yes to anything the developers wants- hello Keebler annexation), it usually just means more crime, traffic and human suffering.
I've seen the negative effects first hand, in the other place I own property, developers have run amok (and the politicians that let them have free reign of the city). They will build new houses higher than their neighbors, so suddenly a house that's been sitting there for 50 years is flooded, when it never used to be. They illegally block off streets (without a permit) or without letting any of the residents know when it's going to happen, so they can park their construction equipment there for weeks on end.
This is not an issue here, but they're building entirely new subdivisions without having a plan or a clue how to get water to those homes, they're literally trucking in water, all so the developer can make a quick buck and get out.
Developers would pave over Yellowstone or the Adirondacks if we let them, they have zero regard for long term consequences. Stay vigilant, JC.
