Within roughly the past six months, Knox News has welcomed aboard public safety reporter Liz Kellar, growth and development reporter Silas Sloan, trending news reporter Devarrick Turner and investigative reporter Anila Yoganathan.

Coming from as far as Alaska and as close as North Carolina, these Knoxville newcomers have seen their expectations blown away since exploring the city in more depth. 

This week's episode invites each new reporter to share their prior perspective of the city, their initial impressions upon moving here, their thoughts on what's missing and their favorite hangouts.

"The Scruffy Stuff," hosted by downtown reporter Ryan Wilusz, is presented by knoxnews.com
