'Real neighborhood deli' bringing sandwiches, pizza, paninis to Old City

Custom sandwiches, pizza and paninis are coming to the Old City next month with the opening of a new downtown Knoxville deli. Todd Carpenter and his partner, Chad Weeks, are planning to open the deli Dec. 4 at 112 E. Jackson Ave., across the street from Fiori Bar & Kitchen . Carpenter and Weeks share a long history in real estate and spent years learning from their friends and Fiori co-owners Jesse and Corey Vose, whose success in the restaurant and bar business helped inspire their new venture. "We want to be a part of what's going on (in the Old City)," Carpenter said. What Carpenter describes as their "timeless" sandwich shop began with a simple idea: "Knoxville deserved a real neighborhood deli," according to its website. "Not a franchise, not a fast-food operation," the website says. "Just a place where the food is made fresh, the staff knows your name, and the vibe is always good." The deli will be next to Sidecar , a new cocktail bar from the Voses scheduled to open by the end of the year. Jesse Vose previously described Sidecar as a "dark, intimate and sophisticated cocktail lounge" featuring a 22-foot bar, floral accents

Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center Dog of the Week: Sully

Do you remember learning cloud types in school? There are the big, fluffy cumulus clouds. And the feathery cirrus clouds. Or the stratus clouds that blanket the sky. But there was a cloud type they may not have taught: the sullycutenimbus cloud, or Sully for short. The features of a Sully cloud differ a little from other clouds. While they are fluffy, if you squint really hard, you’ll see little strands of fur instead of water vapor! Sully clouds also move really quickly through the sky, sometimes making a full 360 rotation over and over. You can spot the shape of a Sully cloud by looking for the tell-tale wagging tail at the end of the cloud. The other day, a couple was walking in the park when a Sully cloud suddenly moved overhead. All of a sudden, stuffy toys and bouncy balls started to rain down from the sky. “Do you smell Fritos?” the man asked the woman he was walking with. Sully clouds are nice to look at, and mostly like being in the sky, but they get lonely sometimes too. This Sully cloud was ready to find someone to love. So he floated on over to the

I stood by him, peeking over the counter to see if I could help. I was too young to lend a hand with cooking, but my dad still gave me a job: throwing the apple peels into the trash. I loved it. I felt special. Now, that's my 5-year-old nephew's job, and I wish I was there to help him. It's been a few years since I've been back home for Thanksgiving , but November
