Round 1
First, I know when I say Dope City, Tennessee that there's a lot of you thinking "are they talking about my town?
Well, according to Urban Dictionary there is only 1 and the residents of Dickson are pretty pissed off about it
A video posted yesterday in the local HIP Group by Josiah Baker says as a husband and father something has to change
*I moved here because its the closest thing to mayberry* Clip
*ive talked to business owners who wont park because everytime they walk around they get accosted*
Ya see over the last decade or so Dickson Tennessee has become THE destination for those seeking recovery.
With job programs and facilities that offer support to those aiming to better themselves, and plenty of halfway houses — it makes sense.
The problem comes from those who fell off the wagon and didnt complete their journey
Many picked up their old habbits but never left town, amplifying the problem locally
And many in the comments agreed somethings gotta change
Josiah says most of them are out of towners and proposes we take action at the state level to protect the Mayberry he moved to.
What do you think?
Round 2
Tuesday there was an Amber Alert for a 3 year old boy that had a happy ending,
But as new information is released, that happy ending is being scrutinized
3 year Tyler Hall, whose mohawk is much cooler than mine, was reported missing from his foster home Tuesday
Agencies from all over pooled resources and did everything they could to find the boy
Turns out, he never left the house.
Ya see inside the home there's a ladder nailed to the wall for attic access.
After searching the home multiple times something told Detective Smith to climb into the attic and search the nooks and crannies
The official story seems to be that the 3 year old climbed up the ladder, over duct work, around wiring and hid SILENTLY out-of-view for hours
Many in the comments say that behavior is normal for a kid on the spectrum,
others, like Connie Reguli of the Family Forward Project, are raising questions about the foster home
As for us, we just report the news, it's up for you guys to draw the conclusions on this one
That's 2 stories down, 1 left to go, and I gotta ask? Do you think a 3 year old hiding in the attic sus? Let us know in the comments
Round 3
What's the first thing that comes to mind when I say Kinkajou?
It's not a Pokémon or a curse word, and I looked it up and that is exactly how it's pronounced.
If you still dont feel comfortable they are also called nightwalkers and Metro Animal Control found one
The kinkajou is native to the forests of Central and South America and has a creepy little trait where it can turn its feet 180 degrees at the ankles and run backwards
When I heard that the first time all I could picture was the chick from the Ring
Though it's legal to own one of these tropical honey bears with a permit, this fuzzy fellow wont be up for adoption
If no one can prove they are the lawful permitted owner then Animal Control will likely ship him somewhere better suited to his needs.
