ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lori, a long-time Knoxville resident.
I’m so glad you stopped in.

Whether you’ve lived here forever like me, or if you’ve just moved to our city, I’m sure you’ll agree — there’s a lot to love about Knoxville.
And I want us to explore it all. Sure we’ll look at some of the better known places, but I want to show you some of the hidden treasures that make Knoxville special.
But we won’t just be exploring the places. We’ll also be looking at some of the everyday people that make Knoxville great. And we’ll be answering some of the questions about Knoxville you don’t want to ask anyone else.
So if that appeals to you, I hope you’ll sit back, pour a cup of coffee (or tea), grab a biscotti, and join me in exploring Knoxville.
