All Around K-Town in Today's KNS

Is it totally shameless for me to tell you that I'm featured in Michael Silence's weekly deadwood column on blogging and bloggers today, where I answer his 4 regular "blogger" questions? Probably, but I'm so tickled pink I just gotta tell someone. There are also some kind words about AAKT in the intro. Thanks, Mike!

An All Around Great Week

This past week has been a great one here at All Around K-Town. Not only did the Coldwell Banker CEO find my blog, but I also got a little KNS love in today's paper.

Both of these things have brought about another part of this week's greatness: lots of new visitors. If you're new to AAKT, first of all, welcome and thanks for stopping by. If you're a regular, well, you're always welcome and you already know I think you rock, but here, I'll say it again: you totally rock.

This blog is dedicated to bringing you the latest news on the Knoxville, TN real estate market. If you haven't been here before, you might want to check out a couple of my weekly features, Neighborhood of the Week and Foreclosure Watch. They seem to be pretty popular with the regulars and they're chock full of good stuff about Knoxville and the Knoxville real estate market. And don't forget the Weekly Poll - it's always here in the upper left hand corner waiting for your vote.

And in case any of you KNS readers are wondering: yes, Lester is the real brains behind this operation.

Knoxville, Actually

Knoxify, the site concerned with all things great about Knoxville, has put together a little list of blogs and sites they think "exemplify who the real Knoxville is." My humble blog made the cut, and I didn't even have to pay them anything for it. Yet. Thanks guys!

Check out the other guys who made the list and while you're there check out the rest of Knoxify - it's worth your time.

Seeing the Light - Solar Power

Ken Baker was good enough to ask me my opinion of solar powered homes and was also nice enough to post my thoughts over on his blog, Ken's Business Musings. The short version of my answer is that solar powered homes are still scarce in this part of the world and buyers aren't exactly clamoring for them...yet.

Check out Ken's article and then come back and let me know what you think. Would you be more attracted to a home with solar power vs. one with all conventional energy systems? Do you think installing solar panels on your current home would be a good investment both in general and also for resale? Any other thoughts or info on solar powered homes? Tell me all about it in the comments.
