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.

We were a little nervous when former Sheriff Tim Hutchison and state Sen. Tim Burchett arrived at the Moxley Carmichael party at about the same time last Friday. The two men are locked in a not-all-that-friendly race to be the next Knox County mayor. But all was well. Soon the room filled with many other [...]

That was the case the first three days of this week during Pilot Pumpers, the annual United Way fundraiser when more than 70 media folks and politicians pumped gas for customers at Knoxville area Pilots. Pilot [...]

Although the Blue Streak sometimes discusses new media and journalism and public relations, it’s really a blog about Knoxville and Knoxville happenings.
We at Moxley Carmichael thought we also needed an outlet for discussing the exciting things going on in the field of communications. Not a day goes by when we don’t discuss in real life [...]
