KKB: SoKno not slammed after all
By: Tao4Now

Tom Salter, Executive Director of Keep Knoxville Beautiful, says no slight was intended when Southside was awarded four Onions at their latest banquet.

It's an interesting insight into the process to learn that all four of Southside's nominations were awarded Onions, even though they only acounted for four out of fifteen nominations.

And that no efffort has been made to date to see that the Onions are spread about geographically so no particular part of town gets picked on.

But the most interesting insight into the process is learning that all four Southside nominations came from a single individual.

Thanks, Tao4now. Let's hope changes are made.

This makes it even worse, IMO. I'm sure the committee thought it was all in fun.

I or a member of my family has been a South Knoxvillian for over 50 years. IMO, it's a great community. Yeah, change is needed in certain areas but where is that not the case. I wish those with the power in Knoxville would use their brains a little more.
