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

What happened to the $30.7 million Topgolf-style golf complex planned for Tennessee?

A $30.7 million golf entertainment complex approved more than two years ago by Tennessee officials has yet to break ground on a vacant property north of downtown, despite original plans to open by early 2026 . No building permits have been issued for Knoxville's ShotClub Social, a Topgolf-style venue planned along Interstate 275 off Fifth Avenue, Bryan Berry, the city's deputy director of zoning and development services, told Knox News. The project's developer, New York-based OnCore Golf , has not finalized an agreement for the 11-year property tax incentive the Knoxville City Council approved for the development in 2024. OnCore Golf had a similar facility planned for Buffalo, New York, which has since been relocated, scaled back and delayed. ShotClub Social promised site cleanup and hundreds of jobs ShotClub Social was designed to include golf bays, mini golf, duckpin bowling and an arcade, along with food and drinks. Rebekah Jane Justice, the city's chief of urban design and development, supported the project in 2024. The land cannot be used for housing, she said, so a commercial use is a win-win for the city. The project was expected to create 200-250 jobs, including entry-level positions, in the city's 6th District. Former

'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
