Two deaths of homeless people in Knox County are raising alarms

The deaths of two homeless people in Knox County since Nov. 1 – coupled with a significant drop in overnight temperatures – have amped up demands from community advocates for urgent action to make sure there is the right support for those living without housing. Knox County Regional Forensic Center spokesperson Mike Donila told Knox News on Nov. 10 the agency is investigating the causes of death. Preliminary information points to hypothermia in one death and a drug overdose in the other, but Donila emphasized toxicology tests could change the findings. Any death is "one too many," Knoxville-Knox County Office of Housing Stability Director Erin Read told Knox News. The issue has been at the center of multiple social media conversations, and is expected to be a topic of conversation during the public forum portion of tonight's Knoxville City Council meeting. Among the concerns raised is a lack of adequate warming centers – the city supports church-based warming centers only if the temperature drops to 25 degrees or lower. The churches, in turn, say they can't operate the centers without support from the city for a variety of reasons, including the need to have a permit to temporarily house people

Violin maker has a vision for long-abandoned Old North Knoxville market | Exclusive

Local violin maker Kelvin Scott wants the city's help to transform a long-abandoned Old North Knoxville market into a storefront for his business, breathing new life into a 1930s-era structure in need of major TLC. Kelvin Scott Violins is a "quiet and old-fashioned" business located in a West View home, the owner said. Moving to 325 E. Anderson Ave., formerly Wright's Grocery, will allow him to build out a "Santa's workshop" of sorts, with wood and sculpting materials spread across worktables. For roughly 30 years, Scott has lived and worked in Knoxville, where he trains local violin makers and plays gigs at venues like Boyd's Jig and Reel . For roughly half that time, he's had his eye on the East Anderson Avenue property just east of Happy Holler , about halfway between North Central Street and North Broadway. "I've always had a vision for it," Scott told Knox News. Knox County records show Scott acquired the property in October 2025 for $40,000. Now, he's requesting $50,000 from the city's facade improvement program to help with the project expected to cost anywhere from $260,000 to $350,000. The facade program directs public investment toward buildings, rather than businesses themselves, by helping
