Emotions explode: Feeling red, white and blue about downtown Knoxville

We hope you are kicking off July dressed in your finest red, white and blue − the topic of this discussion, though not how you might imagine.

Brianna Paciorka, Keenan Thomas and Ryan Wilusz chat about what makes them red with anger and blue with sadness when it comes to downtown Knoxville. And for the sake of keeping things positive, we decided white should represent happiness (and not surrender).

This exercise resulted in a glorious discussion about restaurants, transportation, entertainment, housing and more, which you can listen to right now!
