| Radio, music and community have always been a part of Benny Smith’s life. His grandfather, father and mother performed on gospel radio shows on WGRV in Greeneville, Tennessee. And he started listening to his hometown station and others in upper East Tennessee at an early age. During the day he’d keep up with life locally, but at night he’d turn the dial and get connected to faraway cities like Chicago, Nashville and Fort Wayne. |

| I recently returned from a spring break trip with my husband and kids, where we explored a city in the Midwest. Traveling is always an adventure, filled with new sights and experiences. I spent a lot of time researching how my family would fill our days, what sites we would visit and which restaurants we would enjoy. While I love the thrill of discovering a new city, this trip reminded me there really is no place like home. |

| The brick-lined walkway that leads to the Hillmers’ front door feels like the start of a story, and in many ways, it is. Andy, a Knoxville native from the Bearden area, and Veazey, originally from Oxford, Mississippi, met during their senior year at Ole Miss. After graduation, Veazey followed Andy back to East Tennessee, where they planted roots, raised their two children and built a life together. The Hillmers have lived in their Riverbend home since the fall of 2016. |

| Nearly seven years ago, when my husband and I began searching for the perfect home for our growing family, we had a clear vision of finding a place where our children could grow, where we could create memories and where we could become part of a close-knit community. We didn’t just want a house, we wanted a home in a neighborhood that would offer lasting relationships and a sense of belonging. Our children quickly forged friendships, and my husband and I did too. |
