Drink
Alcoholic beverage sales are prohibited in Grand Rivers. Lyon County, on the other side of the Cumberland River, and Marshall County, on the other side of the Tennessee River, are both wet.

By phone
Most telephone numbers in Grand Rivers consist of +1 270 plus a seven-digit number, but the region is now served by an overlay complex of two area codes, with +1 364 as the second. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).

Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 270 before these if no area code is indicated.
