| Thank you to Sean
Bolen, who had the vision and tenacity to move an old house into a new
location. Above, Sean inspects the underside of the 115-year-old house
he had moved to its new home in Old North Knoxville.

Thank you to the East Tennessee Foundation for grant money that helps Old North Knoxville publish Old North News and accomplish other important goals to Old North Knoxville.
Thank you to Bliss Home + Art for donating a $100 gift certificate as a door prize to one lucky patron of the 17th Annual Victorian Home Tour. And thank you to the
Fulton High School Choir and The Heartsong Organization for lending their voices to the Home Tour.
Thank you to Ernie Roberts and Kim Davis For
taking photos of the tour. They were called in at the
last moment to help out, and if they hadn't, there
would have been much of the tour for you to see.
Thank you Knox Heritage for re-restoring the
house at 1300 Kenyon. Neglected For many years,
Knox Heritage bought the house and had it almost
completely restored when somebody set the porch
on fire, damaging it and part of the house. And
thank you, too, to the couple who had originally
planned to be moving in at the last of August. From
what we at Old North News hear, they still intend
to move in once this new work is completed in late
February. Let's all hope there are no more incidents to delay their arrival in Old North Knoxville.
Thank you to Greg Hyde and Deborah Duncan for building a second infill house in Old North, this time on Oklahoma. Not only is it complete, it is also sold
and occupied. After doing some home building in
Oakwood Lincoln Park, we understand that he plans
to build a third infill in old North. That is historic in and of itself.
Thank you to all who turned in their traffic calming
ballots. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of
the traffic calming plan, with some voters saying
they thought there should be more devices set up in the neighborhood.
