The word "leave" just doesn't leave me feeling at home when i come to this site. I love the smoky mountains, don't get me wrong, but I would hope for more of a subtle appology that you, "could not provide a faster loading time for dial up users, our deepest appologies". Keep up the good work. I enjoyed your site otherwise =) 01/06/2005 14:56 Chris Green Maryville Thanks for working on such an informative site! Keep up the good work!

I'M A GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON OF JOHN OLIVER. I'M HOPING TO FIND ALOT OF INFO. ABOUT MY FAMILY TREE AND HISTORY 10/14/2003 18:07 Frank 'From'? I don't know what this means. Frankensteinfms@aol.com My wife and I always enjoyed the fall festival. We went for three years but this year will be the exception. Except for Joe Nichols, it's just a bunch of no-talent morons who couldn't entertain an ant in a matchbox. I think it takes a lot of nerve to charge that much to see Alabama. They're a joke to me. I wouldn't go if if it was free. You can't do any better than George Jones and he didn't want that much money. He cares about his fans and quality, not money. I wish everyone could say the same. What? They say it's they're fairwell tour. Yeah. Sure. They'll be back scamming us all for more money in a couple of years and the mighty city of Maryville will probably fall for it. We've already had some great acts here. We've had George "the KING" Jones, Clay Walker, Travis Tritt, Leann Womac and Joe Diffie. Give us some more entertainment like that if you want us to be happy. Thirty dollars for a weekend wasn't bad at all but hundreds of dollars for one night is ridiculous. We can't and won't pay it. It wouldn't matter if you had someone there worth seeing which you don't, anyway. Alabama is crap in my book and I'm not alone. The only way you could come close to competing with George Jones being here last year would be if you had Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley, Leann Rimes, Reba MacIntyre, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson and Randy Travis. We'd pay for that but the amount shouldn't have to be exhorbitant. That's obscene. Do the citizens of Maryville have a voice at all? Are you listening to this? Is it possible that we might occasionally have some concerts which weren't country? I mean, is there any way that we could have Alice Cooper, KISS, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Judas Priest or something in that league? I'm forty years old and I'm not the only one who feels this way. Trust me. I'm not. Let's just be fair here. Get some good and reasonable talent and don't charge a fortune. We'll be there. I promise, we will. With that being said, I'll bid you a good evening. Take care and best wishes, Frank. 10/07/2003 15:31 Tim Jenkins Beverly Hills Florida hyjinx94@hotmail.com A friend told me about your site, and it is delightful!

Boyd Lousiville, Tn ljbtn@webtv.net Very nice place to live as for as raising children, and being something other than a minority, but I wish I'd gone to see the other parts of the U.S. before deciding to stay here all my life, I sincerely believe that the ones of us who chose to live here forever, became complacent and a little narrow minded, we have little or no experience with diversity! As for as jobs and the economy, we are the worst I've ever seen. Nepotism runs rampant in our county, it is who you know or who you are that gets you hired on really decent paying jobs! Minorities certainly aren't high on the list. Yes, Blount County might be a wonderful place for those of you who were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but if you weren't, here, you are a nobody! 08/13/2002 22:08 Pam Scanlon Vermont pam@athenaconsulting.com Sounds like a lovely place.

No charge please. 05/28/2002 12:13 Gary Gregory Maryville, Tn. greg831@juno.com Hello Steve, I realy enjoy seeing the Music Makers of Rocky Branch ! I'm the banjo picker with the John Deere hat. You can see a little of me in one of your photos. There is also a pic of one of my pickin buddys who just passed away. It's in album #2, pic # 23. He is the tall grey head with guitar standing next to a lady in red. I was wondering if there's any chance of getting a copy of that photo ? My printer will not copy from the website very well. This would mean so much to me if I could get a copy as he was my best friend. I would be more than happy to pay the cost. Please let me know if you can do this. 05/19/2002 11:20 Michael Niederer Six Mile mikeln@bellsouth.com Steve, this new directory design is the very clearest ever! Congratulations!

It is one of our favorite spots in the Smokies, especially Smokin Joes.

I like the pics that go along with it. Just continue to update when needed.. 02/27/2002 13:33 Michael Niederer Six Mile mikeln@bellsouth.net This is another test of the Guestbook Entry Monitor System. This is ONLY a test. This entry will be read, edited, and finally deleted remotely by qualified personnel. If this had been a REAL monitoring system, it would have required approval BEFORE it was seen by the public, and that is always an option. Of course, if this was a real test you would be instructed to a testing center near you for further instructions. Cool beans! The chance to delete, edit, and respond without being a computer-guru makes it easy to imagine having a guestbook of your own. 02/15/2002 19:03 Donna Blount (Surles) Roggen, Co. mdsurles@aol.com I found this very interesting. My maiden name is Blount, and my brother was named Willam Blount. 02/09/2002 22:27 Bill and Sheila Hinson (Ash 11, Liz 9, &Cooper 7 ) Albemarle, NC billy1@ctc.net Our family will be moving to Blount County in June.... We are very excited about our upcoming move. My husband nor I have jobs in the area at this point...we were both born in NC and have lived here all our lives and are ready to spread our wings so to speak. After alot of research we have found Blount County will be a great place to make our new home and raise our children. My husband has a college degree in social studies and is currently working to get his Tn teaching certification. He also has a law enforcement background. Any contacts anyone could help us with in reference to new employment would be truely appreciated. I have been a homemaker for the past 5 yrs but am also looking to get back into the work force. My experience is in customer service and preschool teaching. Again, we love the area already and can't wait to truely make it OUR home. Thanks for a great web sight! 02/06/102 14:37 George and Virginia Carroll Walterboro, SC 29488 virgeo@lowcountry.com We own a cabin in Townsend called "Maggie's Cabin". Even though we only get to the mountains 3-4 times a year we feel right at home when we're there. During the times when we can't be there we'll visit the website and it's almost like being there. Keep up the good work. Only thing wrong that I can see is that the 2002 Schedule of Events needs to be put on the site. We look for this all the time so that we can schedule when we're "coming home". Thanks again! 01/20/102 21:43 robert blount nyc but now in florida boblee48@earthlink.net 01/19/2002 20:47 Al G. McReynolds Al G.

Mr. Speer was recommended to me from my accountant. After going through His site at the blount web, I knew he was the one to help me. Blount County is one of the most beautiful counties in Tennessee, but what I am most impressed with is the witnessing and the uplifting of Christ in this site.

Send us anything about Blount County, and we will find a way to share it with our whole community. 01/30/2000 00:48 Rob DeGregorio Maryville, TN Italian_Ice23@yahoo.com I live In Blount County, and I think the best places to go if you are visiting here are: the Smoky Mountians, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend, and the Old City in Knoxville.

This is a wonderful thing Steve has done for us, to collect all this information in one place! There is enough information here to make informed decisions, which is what our self-government relies on. I even volunteered for my candidate online! Thanks, Steve... this is yet another way to use the internet to bring us together, and to help us each do our best. 05/15/99 11:22 Sondra L. Hedberg Happy Valley, Tallassee, TN Sondraleo@aol.com Just now beginning to look at your website. We are one-half mile up Chilhowee Mtn. Just built a little house in the woods.

Keep up the communication!!! 03/17/99 21:29 JAMES PRESSLEY ALCOA TN JKF4HHP@AOL.COM GREAT JOB 03/16/99 19:57 Floyd Purchase Maryville,TN FPur I Love the saying, under the Blount Web site seal, being a former YANKEE we appreciate this beautiful area and know that GOD DOES REIGNETH HERE. Keep up the good work. I think that it's partly because so many of us in Blount County are relative newcomers that we need a medium like the BlountWeb to demonstrate our potential to each other, old and new alike. Appreciating God's blessings, we can give to strangers and discover friends. Anyone willing to share their strengths or announce their needs will likely find a good place among us, and room in theBlountWeb, too. 03/16/99 12:49 Laura DeCinque Smyrna, TN L.decinque@gte.net Would like any information on Blount Cty/Maryville, Tn. sent to me at 418 Shadowood Dr. Smyrna,Tn 37167. We will be transferring later this year. School and community info helpful. Thanks Ok, this to our neighbors: I returned Laura an email to make sure she knows that inside our 1700 pages we have an almost 100 page section for Schools in Blount County, another 95-some pages on recreation and parks, and better than 50 pages for local churches. I also pointed her to our Realty Directory. If you know of other good sources, please let her (and us) know about them. Thanks. 03/15/99 16:23 Reginald L. Bullock Blount County xbullock@aol.com This site needs to be duplicated for many other cities in the nation. It is a very comprehensive work in progress that seems to get better over time. It will be interesting to see the site January 2000. Thanks for keeping us informed, Reggie Well thanks, we hope YOU ALL will see us in January 2000 too! (see our Y2K advisory if you're in doubt.) Steve says if he'd had the money he'd have bought the names 'sevierweb' and 'loudonweb' and so forth. But on reflection, there's more than enough to be done here at home. And you know? Home is where the heart is. We also look forward to more labors of love. 03/12/99 12:43 MRS CHASTITY POTTER MARYVILLE, ORIG.

I was in a campground close to you; I think it was close to Oak Ridge, and had a Gristmill as a restaurant and the campground was on the hill. Can you find it for us? We would like to come again! Thanks 02/18/99 23:17 Staci A. Long Maryville staci@esper.com I am glad that Blount County has a web page. I will have to explore this site more closely... 02/12/99 09:43 Carolyn Forster Leadership Blount County leadblount@nxs.net GREAT JOB!! This is a beautiful site. Just wondered if there is a place for organizations to be listed. Our web site is www.leadblount.nxs.net Thanks for the opportunity to spread the good news! We have prepared a page of non-profit organizations at www.blountweb.com/nonprofit where we hope to let folks know some of the good work being done in their community. We invite everyone to look it over, let us know what we've missed (which is lots, I'm sure), and participate as best they can in the groups that speak to their hearts. 02/05/99 11:58 joseph livingston maryville jlivin0488@aol.com GREAT WEB SITE IT HAS ALOT OF INFO. 01/23/99 08:46 Lynn Cassell Big Stone Gap,Va. Lynnhugh@bellatlantic.net I enjoy your website. I think it is very well done and contains useful info about your area. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Lynn Cassell 01/23/98 01:05 Nancy E Weiss Indiana jp1fan@evansville.net I loved the Recollections of Murray. Puts me somewhere in Missouri, like Hannible. I can't wait to read all the answers to the questions that this episode put in my head. Sounds like someone I may have known or someone we all may have known at some time. 01/21/99 19:17 Rickey E. Moore Friendsville, TN RMWVVG@aol.com I found that the BLOUNT WEB was most informative even though I have been a resident for 44 years of BLOUNT COUNTY. 01/21/99 07:47 Betty Davis Maryville, Tn campmalachi@hotmail.com Hey guys, how's it going! I'm praying that everyone supports this, because I know this will be a great thing for Blount County! Do you plan to have a chat room for the people of Blount County? Well, we expect to open a Discussions forum in the next couple of weeks, and we invite our viewers to send us ideas for topics and even comments to help us start. We don't feel that it should be our role to provide unmonitored chat-space, but we have considered establishing a net address exchange. Write me, please, all of you, and give us some guidance here. Thanks. 01/20/99 10:03 Dianna Maryville, TN Great pictures, especially the butterflies and Cades Cove. Lets see some more!! Great work, keep it up! Steve, the designer, tells me that there's room for all manner of artwork in theBlountWeb. He says it better in www.blountweb.com/expressions than I could. 01/19/99 18:30 Mickey Duke Powell, Tn. mickeyduke@mindspring.com Happened to see your article in Maryville Times. Great web site. 01/19/99 17:17 Nicholas Lewis Maryville/Pineveiw RD wickett349@aol.com Great web site has a lot of info on it. 01/18/99 01:39 EJ Saint John N.B soaps@nbnet.nb.ca This is a great site. Something for everyone of all ages. I like pougles contribution to the site alot. Keep up the good work. I'll be back again. It's a little odd, but I like it too. Watch it grow. 01/16/99 20:40 Penny Maryville TN JParker482@aol.com Great work. Glad to see church listings, including ours, and what a great way to keep involved in community happenings. Thanks, guys. 01/14/99 22:30 Betty Davis Maryville campmalachi@hotmail God bless you guys for the wonderful work you're doing!! You're helping so many of us and Blount County should be very grateful to you. I know I am! The graphics are great and you guys are doing such an expert job. What can I say except you're wonderful!!!! Thanks guys! Thank you. This is meant to be an umbrella site for our whole community, to help create and maintain that community. (See What is theBlountWeb?). We look forward to ever more participation from the public in defining and expanding theBlountWeb. 01/13/99 09:41 Emma Maryville, TN EmmaEileen@aol.com Nice page! Makes you want to write just to see your name in print! But what if I change my mind? How do I 'unsend'? Not that I want to right now, you understand... Oooh! Well, it's like email. Once you send it, it's gone. But if you need to, email us and ask nicely, and we'll make it go away. 01/12/99 10:18 Roy Ehman Alcoa, TN Dear Webmasters, I read about your site in the paper this morning and was pleased to see Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church listed. However, the address has changed as we sold the previous church and are currently building a bigger new one at 860 Louisville Road, Alcoa, TN 37701. Also we have started a web of our own and would be pleased to have it listed on your site. The Web is at www.ourladyoffatima.org. Many thanks for your kind attention. Oops! We compiled our list of churches (see www.blountweb.com/churches) from many sources, and no doubt there are still errors and omissions. I'm sure also that there are many congregations with web sites we don't know about. In addition, you may have noticed that we provide a free message board for any who can use it. Spread the word. 01/07/99 19:06 Bob Murphy Maryville, TN OK, so you haven't been loafing! The new Business Directory looks and works great, but if you're ready to 'tidy up' here's a few nitpicks: (Editor: an embarrassingly long list of errors has been deleted...). Keep up the good work! Thanks for the help. Somehow you never see the mistakes until they're printed. Luckily, unlike a newspaper, we can fix ours. Sure, we're embarrassed, but we just clean up and move along... 01/05/99 20:11 Bonnie Maryville, TN The new pages look great! I love the colors! I went in to check the Schedules and Events, and I guess you were right! It does need updating! So I added our Newcomers of Blount County Meetings and Coffees at the First United Methodist Church of Maryville. It was easy! Thanks. Thanks, Bonnie. We hope everyone will think to add to the new Schedules page... its easy, free, and fast. Who knows about music events? Sports? Plays? School outings? The more we use it, the better it is for everyone. 01/04/99 04:30 Michael Niederer, editor of theBlountWeb Guest Book Maryville, TN mikeln@bellsouth.net Hello! This is a new BlountWeb feature, and we're excited to hear from viewers everywhere. A few reminders: we are a community site, so please watch your language. We reserve the right to edit. If you see anything that shouldn't be here, please email me (which I read several times a day). Otherwise, TELL US ALL WHO YOU ARE!!! We're glad to know you. cool |
