Quotes About Knoxify

“Finally, a Knoxville-centric blog camp with com­men­tary that is NOT ded­i­cated to the county’s lat­est screw up. Whether you’re an East Ten­nessee lifer or a vis­i­tor, log on to check out Knoxville res­i­dents’ inside scoop on the best of the city.” — Knoxville Mag­a­zine

“You can’t help but be impressed with the excel­lent work com­ing from the guys over at Knox­ify. I wish I had spent my col­lege years doing some­thing con­struc­tive, as opposed to destruc­tive!” — Byron Ches­ney

“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.” — Jeremy Floyd
