Weather delays Island Home Ave. reopening once again

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Friday, October 30th, 4:10 pm

(WBIR - KNOXVILLE) South Knoxville's Island Home Avenue did not reopen Monday as planned.

The street was originally supposed to open on November 13, but rain delayed those plans.

The city has given the contractor another extension, so the new target date is December 18.

Anyone missing a miniature horse?

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Thursday, April 23rd, 1:36 pm

Knoxville police are looking for the rightful owner of a miniature horse found grazing on someone's South Knoxville yard.

KPD Animal Control said they responded to a call at the 5100 block of Rebecca Lane on Thursday morning. The officers could not find the owner, and neighbors - pun intended - weren't sure where the female mini horse came from.

She's being taken care of by Young Williams Animal Center until the owner can be located.
