If you want your event included, please make a Facebook event, invite me (Alan Sims – you’ll have to friend me) and it will be included. I need enough lead time that the list can be put together the Wednesday before you want your event included.

  • If you’d like more eyes on your business or event, consider hitting the “advertise” link at the top of this page or shoot me an email at Knoxvilleurbanguy@gmail.com for more details.

  • COVID-19 continues to rise in Knox County. Confirmed cases are up 18% in the last two weeks. Hospitalizations and deaths are rising. It’s time to resume being a bit more cautious. Consider masking in crowds.
