Oh well. According to the last spin
release from Michael “Big Sexy” Grider, my yard sale came in a
distant 6th place in the nomination pool for where to hold the next
Knox Cash Mob.
Haha. Good one, Grider.
Anyhoo, the county tallied the
nominations and now it's time for the community to vote for the next
location, which will be in South Knoxville this time around.
Click right smack here to vote for
either:
- Colonial Village Shopping Center (Colonial Hardware, Kay's Ice Cream and the Village Bakery)
- Mclemore Florist
- Myrtle's Mess
- Sally's Alley
- Tea & Treasures
Voting runs from 5 p.m. today through 5
p.m. next Wednesday, March 6. The county will announce the winner on
Friday, March 8.
Knox County Mayor Tim Buchett said
residents often give him suggestions for where to hold these things,
so he felt that “this is a good way to get them involved in the
selection process.”
Last week, the county took nominations.
“We had a lot of people go online and
nominate their favorite South Knox business, which goes to show that
our community cares about local business and wants to help,” the
mayor said. “That's the goal of cash mobs.”
Despite protestations from Emperor Dean Rice, the mayor went ahead and started holding these events. Dean has since been banned from them. Heh.
