Why "Scruffy City?"
In 1980, ahead of the 1982 World’s Fair, The Wall Street Journal dismissed Knoxville as a “scruffy little city,” questioning its ability to host the event. After a wildly successful fair, locals embraced the name — not as an insult, but as a badge of gritty charm and resilient pride.
