Hello, Dolly!

fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, and fresh rosemary. Our white pie choice, and our Hard Knox favorite, was the Sweet Pea with smoked mozzarella, prosciutto, blue cheese, and clover honey. Y’all, this pizza is no joke delicious. Can’t you just taste it? Doesn’t it make your mouth water?

We have been Hard Knox Pizzeria fans for a long time and have visited each location. They are all fantastic. We even played Singo at one. (If you haven’t played Singo, give it a go… it’s super fun.) This spot is one of our K-town favorites when it comes to pizza. Hard Knox is good vibes and good food. They know how to create it, and they know how to cook it. Follow us as we venture out from Somewhere in the South for more local food, drink, and life adventures @somewhere.inthe.south on Instagram, check out Hard Knox Pizzeria, and tell them Somewhere in the South sent you.

From our somewhere to yours, Denton & Lori

Spring

AND early summer are such a fun and beautiful time in our community! The days become lighter and longer, beautiful flowers are blooming, the mountains begin calling, and Dollywood has opened their gates again for all of us to enjoy!

Opening ceremonies at Dollywood are especially exciting for Random Acts of Flowers. All of the flowers used to artfully adorn Dolly Parton’s parade carriage are donated to Random Acts of Flowers to be repurposed into stunning bouquets. This year, hundreds of arrangements in beautiful pastel pinks and whites were lovingly made and donated to recipients who were residents of several local nursing facilities or hospitalized at North Knoxville Medical Center after Dollywood’s opening weekend.

Random Acts of Flowers relies upon generous in-kind donation of all floral material, many from local events. Our mission allows flowers to live a second life and bloom to their absolute fullest so they can be enjoyed longer and by so many more people. Dolly Parton, in her spectacular carriage, brought so much happiness and joy to those who had the opportunity to see her during Dollywood’s opening parade. We love knowing that all of those flowers, touched and admired by Dolly herself, went on to make so many other people in our community feel so loved and special as well.

We cannot thank Dolly and Dollywood enough for this wonderful opportunity to spread so much goodwill and cheer! Without the generous floral donations from so many local grocery stores, florists, memorials, weddings, community events, and local gardens, Random Acts of Flowers would not have delivered more than 166,000 bouquets to the Greater Knoxville area.

If you or your business want to support Random Acts of Flowers by becoming a floral donor, please email us at info@ RAFKnoxville.org, call us at 865-633-9082, or visit our website at RAFKnoxville.org to learn about ways to donate flowers from an event or business. We look forward to partnering with you to help those flowers and hope bloom a little longer!

Our facility comes with spacious, supervised playrooms where dogs are placed according to their size, temperament, and play style to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved pet.
