There was so much material this year that the annual Front Page Follies show was bound to be funny! Held Saturday at the Knoxville Convention Center, it did not disappoint.
The Follies show is the annual performance by area journalists and PR folks to raise funds for communications scholarships and poke fun at area newsmakers in the [...]

You didn’t, did you? That’s what I was afraid of. Sigh.
A swarm is a group of people (hopefully 50) trying to earn the “swarm” badge on the social networking site Foursquare. There was an attempt Thursday by a group on Market Square to earn that badge. But, doomed by confusion and perhaps a little impatience, [...]

When this turn-of-the-century church at 800 Luttrell Street was actually used as a church, I bet they never served iced tea like was served there Saturday night. The tea at this very special of Knox Heritage’s “Summer Suppers” series was laced with vodka to make a signature cocktail called an ice pick. Boy did they go down smoothly! (And [...]

If you stay flexible, sometimes great opportunities come along.
I was reminded of this last week when I picked up a voice message Wednesday evening from my friend Gay Lyons. “Call me as soon as you can,” the message said. “I want to invite you to a really interesting party at my house on Friday.”

Even though it’s been occurring for 32 years, The Front Page Follies show doesn’t get old. Why? So much new material every year.
The Follies are a series of good-natured (mostly!) skits performed annually by local journalists and PR folks (along with a few ringers) poking fun at area newsmakers and news events. Combined with a silent and live [...]

That’s how one guest described Stuart Worden’s enchanting cottage where 30 folks gathered Sunday evening for one of Knox Heritage’s “Summer Supper” series.
Stuart and his late wife, artist Betsy Worden, saved numerous historic East Tennessee artifacts from the wrecking ball and incorporated them into the home they built 32 years ago on a steep cliff on the [...]

How’s this for a Saturday night party idea? An appetizer sampling!
Our friend Dawn Ford loves to entertain and she loves appetizers. So when she bought a new Harry & David appetizer cookbook the other day, she decided she should gather a bunch of guinea pigs (us!) and test some of the recipes.
Note to Dawn’s other [...]

Downtown developer Jeffrey Nash, who also owns The Crown & Goose gastropub in the Old City, is passionate about two things: World Cup soccer and redevelopment projects.
He discussed both those topics Thursday night when Nucleus Knoxville, a group of young-ish professionals, held its monthly meeting at his establishment. “I am amazed at how much downtown has [...]

How is the Gulf oil spill affecting seafood available in our locally-owned restaurants here in Knoxville?
We asked some of our favorite area chefs and restaurant managers and found that their opinions are as varied as the food they serve up. The one thing they seem to agree on, though, is that the long-term effects of the colossal spill will [...]

This has been a stressful week at Moxley Carmichael. We had an important vote at County Commission on Monday (which we won, thankfully). We had the big Pilot announcement on Wednesday. (Glad that’s over.) Plus a million other things, including some new business presentations, which tend to get me keyed up.
That’s why I was glad [...]
