Bloggers Abound in Knoxville!
People fall in love with Knoxville for many reasons, but it doesn't take long for the city to feel like home. Folks who leave Knoxville often save their moving boxes, suspecting that they'll soon return - and they frequently do. Others save the trouble of packing and settle in to become passionate about the city, like Brandon Clarke and Casey Peters at Knoxify. The two have dedicated themselves to blogging all things social, political, and cultural in and about Knoxville - interviewing county commissioners, reporting on local events, and offering advice on topics from where to get the best coffee to the best insurance deals. A recent post pays homage to their top ten favorite things about Knoxville - and readers followed up with top ten lists of their own. From past leadership to entertainment, dining, and the surrounding area, for an insider's uncensored take on what makes Knoxville great, I can offer no better source.
