Lindy moved to Tennessee from Connecticut two years ago and joined the co-op team in March 2022 as a Stocker/Receiver. She says, “Knoxville is a fun place. A lot of the scenes here look like comic book panels, and that makes me feel ay-oh-kay. The trains are timeless; their tracks forever shining, while the rivers reach out to touch the sky as though they really like each other. Yet above all, the bridges impress me the most, even with the mountains on the horizon being majestic as heck. Then of course there is the sun sphere~ that giant golden disco ball really drives home the comic appeal I feel this city has going.

Speaking of comic, I’ve heard there is a clown school here in Knoxville where tons of fine funnery happens with puppets and juggling and dancing! oh my! Those are a few of my favorite things. Other favorites include: colorful fashion, top hats, paint brushes, editing music to video, designing album covers, writing a mythology and wearing a cape.

I love that Three Rivers Market has a small town feel, with kind people and wholesome food. The hot bar is a great feature because there’s always something I’ll enjoy there. It’s relaxing to sit and gaze out the windows of the café area, and once getting my eyeful of the outdoors I can turn to admire artwork hung on the cafés wall by local artists. How fun! I will be contributing to the colorful scene by hanging my artwork in the café this October. And speaking of October, which is all about Halloween {costumes}: Can we all make Casual Costume Friday into a thing every week? Thank you.”
