In this article from the New York Times, our great city gets recognized for all it has to offer. They discuss a few of the things that distinguish our city such as the WDVX Blue Plate Special, Yee-Haw Industries, as well as the great dining that is the Tomato Head.

They also discuss Dolly Parton, our great outdoors (of course the Great Smoky Mountains), and the Simpsons episode about the Sunsphere. It’s a great read check it out.

East Tennessee Tries New Traffic Technology

Check out this article in the Knoxville News Sentinel’s website. It tells us about a camera mounted on traffic lights that they’re trying out in Oak Ridge. It can read when cars are coming from which direction, and adjust the light accordingly. I could see this helping drivers with their road rage. Maybe it could reduce car insurance claims and rates as well?

Is Subway taking over your office?

This $5 foot long thing has over taken the John Bailey Co. fridge. I’m sure there is a wave of Subway footlongs taking over office refridgerators across the country, not just in Knoxville. I mean can you really beat that deal? You are basically paying $2.50 a meal (unless you eat the entire foot long for lunch which I’m sure a few of us have done).

It’s genius for the marketing at Subway, hats off to them.

Short Term Medical Insurance: Good for Fit College Graduates

If you have just graduated or are in that awkward phase between graduation and your first job that offers benefits, this is a good fit for you. There is usually a gap in coverage in between college graduation and your first career oriented position. Most of the time students go off their parents’ medical plan once they graduate. With short term, you can get month to month coverage at a low rate. Give us a call if you fall in this category, and we’ll be glad to help you.
