RIP No Silence Here December 7, 2011 12:26 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Announcements, Blog, Of Interest, PublishingI cannot seem to get a comment to post on the Knoxnews blog No Silence Here.
"I’m told it will cease to exist." That’s a terrible shame. Blogs, content, are history. Like newspapers of old were archived on microfiche, so should blogs such as No Silence Here be forever archived.
Good luck to you Michael! Thank you for the years of inspiration, links, and ideas.

What is the Midwest? August 3, 2011 12:36 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of InterestLike the fuzzy definition of "West Knoxville," nobody really seems to know what makes up the Midwest. The site MidwestSportsFans.com explains. Due to Josh Tinley‘s rant on intellectual property rights, I’m hesitant to quote anything from his article other thing suggesting you read it on MidwestSportsFans.com; however, I believe this sentence is highly notable and relates to Knoxville’s bizarre definition of "West Knoxville":
The term "Midwest" comes from a bygone era when the population of the United States was so concentrated on the eastern seaboard that anything on the far side of the Alleghenies was considered western.
Go to MidwestSportsFans.com to see some maps helping to explain "Midwest."
