COVER STORY
Taking Autumn Leaves
Looking to get out of town for the day? There’s no time like the fabulous fall to discover some of the less-traveled nooks and crannies of East Tennessee. A few Pulsers pursue assignments in leisure, escapism, history and tooling around via auto for this Fall Guide.
Citybeat
This week: Joe Tarr outlines how Knoxville and Knox County governments plan to stamp out homelessness in the area within 10 years; and Barry Henderson talks with an ex-nun, a priest’s sex-abuse victim’s mother, and the Knoxville Diocesan chancellor about the upcoming Breaking the Silence Week program.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Tarr worked here for over half of this paper’s existence. His writing and presence have been an integral part of the fabric of Metro Pulse, and his departure will leave a gap not easily filled.
Benny Smith, although not as long-standing in his formal position here, was one of the first people involved with Metro Pulse back in the day. Our loss is WUTK’s gain, and our consolation prize is that we’ll most likely have an ass-kicking college station again.
