Only 3 major cities made an "economic recovery" in 2012, and Knoxville is one of them

Wow! I've been amazed at how quickly developers and investors and small business types got back to work, but I had no idea things were going this well compared to others. We do live in a pretty swell town. What shocks me is the investment -- I had always been told that investors around here are gunshy. I guess they figured out it's wise to invest in your own town.

Anyway, Reuters has a great interview with Madeline Rogero about the recovery and awesome things going on around Knoxville.
