COVER STORY
The Best of Knoxville
Every year, we ask your help in voting for your favorite first- and second-hand shops, gin joints, public personae and tacquerias. It is with great pleasure that we reveal the results of the annual readers’ poll. Also, we proudly invite you to spend an evening with the winners at the awards ceremony at the Foundry on April 30, starting at 8 p.m. A sampling of food and beverages will be provided by area vendors, and music will be provided by the Lonesome Coyotes. Come one, come all.
