Tim and Sandy have purchased and moved into a Knoxville home which they are very excited about.
Gas N Go Closes Doors
The station had closed the store but now it has also closed down the self service gas pumps. We will miss the local business which had been here many years.
Drug Ring
Law enforcement recently interrogated some Monroe County persons, jailed some, and apparently continues to try to close in on drug makers and sellers. It appears little information is available at this time as they continue to investigate.
