It is my understanding that the Wonder House was an ongoing building project undertaken by the elder Mr. Wilson (since deceased)when he fell ill with dementia. The building project gave him something to do and kept him occupied.
Jack, I hope you feel better soon, too. And, you will. I pretty much pay a big cable bill to watch HGTV in high definition. It is about the only channel I watch except the Ted Turner old movies channel. The rest of the channels, I agree, offer mostly junk around the clock.

"...am I the only one who took a certain sadistic pleasure in the week-before-last’s Ear to the Ground blurb reporting the rumor that “four to five West Knox County developers may not survive” the current housing slump?"
Yes.
There are many businesses that will not survive the current housing slump, but I don't see how that can cause anyone pleasure.
I am very sorry to hear that the Market Square Kitchen has closed. I am one of those who preferred to eat there over the newer, more trendy places. I hope that Mr. Ghodrat will find another suitable place and reopen the restaurant.
If a yellow dog is somebody with basic morals than we need more Ned Ray's.
State workers are getting screwed. No raises in forever. There are things that the state needs to have done by the rank and file. Like keeping on keeping on the basic processes that keep us a civil society.
It is not a good thing to treat state workers like beat mules in the farm field while the bosses get raises.
Wow! That same thing happens at nursing homes, M. I know from my friends.
in response to hihosteverino: Yeah, JJ, tell the "little lady" to shut up and tend to the homefires. How charmingly Southern of you! I hope "Ms. Katie" sues everyone from the alleged dealer and the sheriff's department all the way up to the pharma that made these addictive pills. Oh yeah, it's time for East Tennessee officials to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Bunch of pot-bellied, undereducated rubes...

I don't know if the Sheriff has a pot belly or not, but he is not "under-educated." He has a master's degree in criminal justice from the University of Tennessee and was formerly a narcotics investigator. http://www.knoxsheriff.org/countysher...
in response to Michael: Thanks for the correction, guys. I couldn't remember, exactly, and asked around. Not an easy thing to research.

He was actually of normal intelligence, though due to his illness (I think cerebral palsy) which impaired his speech and body movements some people thought he was not. If you had time for him to tell you a story, he knew plenty of good ones.
His name was Bobby.
I attended the Joplin concert and am glad that I did.
oh,oh,oh... those bullets are true and good. :)
I have an idea for MetroPulse. Try to encompass the whole metropolitan area in your reporting. Just for funsies I looked up the definition for Metro and got this:
met·ro·pol·i·tan (mtr-pl-tn)adj.1.a. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a major city: crowded metropolitan streets; a metropolitan newspaper.
b. Of or constituting a large city or urbanized area, including adjacent suburbs and towns:
I would suggest that MetroPulse in twenty-ten drop the downtown attitude and work on including the b. part of the Metro definition. This is free from me to you in the spirit of the New Year!
You are spot on, Rikki. I hope TVA reads your article and will really agree to do the right thing, which you have outlined very well.
Calm down. Those of us who still live a stone's throw from the city have plenty of wild game, a patch to plant and the lake where fish can be harvested.
We just need to remember to network.
Wow, Rose! Beautifully written. Thank you.
You're hired! Nobody can argue with "Welcome Home".
I approve of this article. I don't have the nerve to visit these fine establishments (might run into somebody from church) but still want to know what's what or is it "what's that?"
