Great Park, Lots To Do…read more This is a great park for kids. Unique park with unique activities and them makes for a good day to play. Treehouse theme is cool and they have some good slides for the kiddos. There is also a walk at path that goes somewhere, but I have gone far down it yet. Across the road is a tank, helicopter and plane or so I am told as well. Parking can be tricky on a weekend as it gets packed and a spaces are limited. Nice park with mostly friendly people.

The Imagination Station playground is a beautifully designed park. I took my niece there and…read morethere's lots of things to do. They have one pavilion that has picnic tables so if it isn't rented out you can use. There are a few benches near the park but on a hot day shade is minimal. I like that they have a variety of climbing objects, plenty of swings, including the two in one where you can have a baby in a baby swing while you're in a adult one. It's a decent sized playground so plus the parking situation is pretty good. Not too hard to find parking.

The community rose up to support the families and for more than 2 months. Flags were being waved off bridges and the grass area here because covered in flags and notes. A flag pole went up within two weeks and money was raised for what you see here. Chattanooga stood strong during and after this event but will not be forgotten.

Helen is supposed to be a quaint Bavarian town in the Alps. It's actually just a cheesy tourist…read moretrap. Have they even been to Bavaria? First, the biggest and most obvious problem- TRAFFIC FLOW. There is no way to avoid going through the town and not waiting in endless lines of traffic. While sightseeing you get to breathe fumes from all of the cars- all day! Then there is the motorcycle problem. Dirtbags revving their engines every 5 seconds and hurting my ears. Thanks! Harleys gotta go! Anything without a muffler. The town was kind of beat looking and a little dirty. Some areas were fine but others were not. Some stores were too small for this type of environment. The public bathrooms were a problem both in size and cleanliness. I wont even talk about the ridiculous prices for things. The standouts for a positive impression was the Candle making and Glass making shops. Parking also became a problem later in the day as people continued to pour into the town. It is not managed at all. This made people aggressive or just stupid as they passed right by me as I was preparing to leave my spot; only to almost hit me later as I was trying to leave the lot. Restaurants I did not try as we had a big breakfast. We didn't stay for darkness to hit and to see the lights on. Otherwise we would have gotten an early dinner. I just wanted to get out of there! There was a nice creek flowing and picnic tables for those who wanted to use them alongside parking areas. I would not recommend visiting this town unless you live close by and go in the off season.

Lovely cute town in a world of its own! Helen is a German themed town that makes you feel that…read moreyou're literally in Germany. From the Oktoberfest to the beers and restaurants and souvenir shops along with the architecture of the buildings, Helen is a must visit. Stop in the welcome center for much needed information on where to park that's free and where you have to pay. Grab a list of restaurants and coupons to enjoy. You can walk main street from or end to the other in minutes and enjoy the sights and many restaurants and shops. Was there on a Sunday and it does get crowded by the afternoon. Many things to do locally and plenty of places for accommodations as you visit. Great city that's clean and fun. Definitely worth a visit for a weekend but not sure if it's a destination to revisit as it's good to experience. But if you want to celebrate Oktoberfest, this is the place to be!

I love this library. This has been my main library since I moved within the county and I think it's…read morepretty neat. There's many seating options like tables and cubbies. It's clean and spacious. I love the large windows and natural lighting. There's a large book selection and whenever I'd need help finding a book, people were friendly. Everytime I would swing by though, it seemed like the coffee shop wasn't in use or opened. Maybe I would just come at the wrong times, every time. For the most part, their emails and text messages would be reliable when my books had to be renewed. But for some reason, I never got a reminder like I'd always get and I received a text that my books were overdue and I had fees. I went online and couldn't renew my books or even call in because it was a holiday and the library was closed. So I called when I got the chance after the next few days (it was a holiday WEEKEND, just my luck) and I was told that sometimes patrons don't receive renewal messages. I was also told that I can renew online despite the holds but the website couldn't even let me do that because of the holds I had. So there's some misinformed workers there depending on who you talk to. If the library was consistent and had a great communication service for renewals then I'd give this place 5 stars.

My second "office" for the day was spent here and it was most pleasant. The library is quite large…read moreand comfortable. After some wandering, I was able to find a nice workspace with power outlets in a quiet area. With laptops up and running, connected to their free wifi, I did a couple of Zoom calls, send a bunch of emails and even managed to write a Yelp review or two. Fiction, non-fiction, periodicals, reference, media, this is a large library and they seem to be ready to help. They even have computers, but I think you need to be a local resident to use those. The wifi? Free for anyone to use. [Review 18850 overall - 373 in Tennessee - 2373 of 2022.]

I grew up just down the road from the Topton Post Office and I can honestly say it is lacking. They…read moreonly have one postmaster and often times the mail is not sorted by 10 am or 11 am. This is not the fault of the postmaster, it is simply understaffing. My parents had two mailboxes at this particular location and anytime I would get magazines or comic books in the mail the would be bent or creased which obviously is not what I was hoping. There are only about 150 mailboxes at this particular Post Office. Many of the locals get mail delivered but it is an extremely remote part of the country. In many of my other Topton/Nantahala reviews I mention that cell phone service is non existent. There are no restaurants or gas stations in Topton either. If you decide to move to this part of the country please be aware of the fact that technology is non existent. It is one of the most beautiful parts of the country but they are a little bit behind the times. When I visit I will have zero cell phone coverage for well over 20 miles. The Post Office is what it is. You cannot expect it to have all the amenities of the newer post offices in progressive areas.

We went to sign up for Medicare. I had heard so many horror stories about what an ordeal it was to…read morego to any social security office. It opened at 9:00 am and we were in a line of maybe 8 people and other folks trickled in as we waited. When you go into the office there is a kiosk for you to sign in and to indicate why you are there. You can make an appt prior to your visit for many things but not enrolling in Medicare. You are issued a number that pops out of the kiosk and you wait to be called. Apparently your number correlates with the type of service you require. We probably waited 15-18 minutes and then were called up to a booth. The young man assisting us was very professional and polite. It all went very smoothly . I would recommend this location.
