| The Old North Knoxville
banners help to identify the neighborhood. James Pierce recently raised
the two on Grainger so they would not interfere with traffic.

Spring is alive and well in Old North Knoxville. Flowers are blooming, trees are leafed out, and grass is growing. While flower beds may need to be weeded and tree branches may need to be trimmed, the grass will almost always have to be mowed. Somebody has to do it, and sometimes you wind up doing it for yourself and your neighbors.
Old North News would like to thank Stephen Henderson. In addition to being the new president of the Neighborhood Watch and chairman of the 2004 Home Tour Committee, he has not only being mowing his lawn, but the lawns of two of his neighbors. He said he's almost worn out his lawn mower keeping the grass cut, not to mention himself. Thank you.
Thank you, also, to the City of Knoxville for mowing the two vacant lots in the 400 block of East Oklahoma. This may one day become the site of partnership between the city and Old North Knoxville to develop a small urban park, for which the mayor, the city, and city council should also be thanked.
A thank you, also, to the Izaak Walton League for replacing the skimmer on 1st Creek near the Broadway overpass. It will help us keep trash out of the creek.
And thank you to James Pierce on Leonard Place. He took the time and figured out a way to raise the bar, so to say, and in doing so the Old North Knoxville banners on Grainger are now high enough that cars can park under them. He did this by himself and a couple of weeks before he had to have surgery for a pinched nerve in his neck. We hope you're feeling better James and can provide technical support for the raising of the bar for the banner on Kenyon.
