"People regularly come
up to me with cash mob
suggestions, so this is a good way to get them involved in the selection
process," said Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. "We had a lot of people go online
and nominate their favorite South Knox businesses, which goes to show that our
community cares about local business and wants to help. That's the goal of cash mobs."
Mayor Burchett started
organizing Knox Cash Mobs early
last year in an effort to help businesses in South Knoxville affected by the
Henley
Street Bridge closure.
