KCDC-run housing projects around town are "special cases," where police conduct spot checks of motorists and pedestrians to see if they "belong" there or are banned from the premises by their earlier behaviors. Joe Tarr talks with the residents, administrators and police officers, but the question of whether the checks are unduly intrusive or necessary for residents' safety and peace of mind is never fully answered.

An interview with new Vice Mayor Mark Brown touches on his roles and some of his views of the city, as Clint Casey recounts.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan opines that the day of involuntary annexations could be over in Insights, Brian Conley says his goodbyes to a gentleman who changed his life in A Note from the Publisher, Jack Neely goes back over a few items, from cussing women to tamales to Ott's in Secret History, Scott McNutt busts some freestyle on the Democratic party debates, and Le Evans contemplates theory vs. practice in partisan politics.

Jack Neely obtains assurances from its director that Knoxville's annual spring series of events, the Dogwood Arts Festival, will take on a new, more seriously artistic face this year to counteract the impression that it has been on the decline for years, decades really. We'll soon see, says Jack.
