11 Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In Johnson City, Tennessee That Locals Would Rather Keep Secret

One of the best Indian restaurants on this list sits inside a building that used to be a Long John Silver’s. I love that kind of plot twist. Another spot bakes pizza in a hand-built brick oven that weighs about 10 tons. A downtown diner stays open until 4 AM on weekends, which feels like a public service.

Mount Carmel K9 Officer receives special gift

MOUNT CARMEL — The Mount Carmel Police Department’s four-legged officer, K9 Kilo, has received an added layer of protection while serving the community, thanks to a generous donation from the nonprofit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. Kilo recently received a custom-fitted, bullet- and stab-protective vest designed to help keep him safe in the line of duty. Adding a special and meaningful touch, the vest bears the inscription “In memory of Dolly Parton,” honoring the beloved East Tennessee icon and her enduring legacy of generosity and compassion. The donation represents more than a piece of protective equipment. It is an investment in the safety of a valued member of the Mount Carmel Police Department and a reminder of the generosity that helps support law enforcement agencies and their K9 partners across the country. “We’re incredibly grateful to Vested Interest in K9s for providing this potentially lifesaving protection for Kilo,” said Town Manager Tyler Williams. “Having the vest dedicated in memory of Dolly Parton makes this gift especially meaningful.

Right Off The Square In Jonesborough, Tennessee’s Oldest Town Serves Breakfast At The Main Street Cafe

Some towns hand out maps at the welcome center. Jonesborough hands out stories, and one of the best ones is tucked inside an old brick building just off the square. Tennessee’s oldest town has brick sidewalks, historic storefronts, and a pace that invites a slow late morning. Right in the middle of it sits a family cafe that has been feeding locals and travelers since the early 1980s.

Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society Dog of the Week: Bonbon

Halloween is here! The night when skeletons, ghosties, werewolves, and witches rule. Where spooky things happen under a full moon. But what if you are scared of Halloween? What if the creeps really do creep you out? Then shy little Bonbon is just the doggie for you!! Bonbon is all meaty treats and no tricks. Unless there is a snack involved, then she’ll do any trick. “Pass one more over, please! Don’t look at me!” she’d say between munches. Once, while hiding from trick-or-treaters, Bonbon ran into a pack of werewolves who were up to Halloween mischief. They invited Bonbon to run with them in the woods, and while Bonbon liked all the running, she’d rather snack than scare. “Umm, guys, it’s a little dark out here!” she said while running out of the woods. Scary movies are also a no-go for this sweet girl. Whenever one is on, she covers her eyes with her very furry paw and cuddles in close. And maybe sneaks a piece of candy or two, or three, or four. “I don’t want to be scared! I want to be loved,” Bonbon said with a jump. Last Halloween, Bonbon ran into a skeleton while she

Rogersville's Veterans Parade coming up next week

The latest installment of Rogersville’s year-long celebration of America 250 is coming up Saturday, Nov. 7, when the town will host a Veterans Parade along Main Street downtown. The event aspires to bring veterans, families and community members together for a day of patriotism, remembrance, and gratitude. The parade was announced in late summer, and planning has been ongoing for a few months now. The first evidence of the big day will take place Saturday, following the town’s annual Trunk or Treat celebration for Halloween. “The banners will go up Saturday night, right after Trunk or Treat,” said event coordinator Beth Metz, referring to the veteran recognition banners that have been offered throughout September and October for family and friends of local veterans to recognize them for their service. These personalized banners will be displayed on Main Street throughout the month of November. They each feature one veteran and may be kept by the sponsor following the display. The parade will take place at 11 a.m., beginning at East Rogersville Baptist Church and travel west on Main Street to First Baptist Church of Rogersville. Parade lineup will begin at 10 in the parking lots in front of the church. The
