If the church is where I think it is {University Ave area} there is another non racial factor and that is the homeless frequent the area. A significant number have mental issues and a fire started by homeless isn't that uncommon in Knoxville. It's not that far from the missions.
Yeah I mowed Moms place Friday and the ground was still cracked despite some rain last week. Thirty minutes after I got done we had a downpour. I'm about 20 miles north of Knoxville.
I’m in Athens, between Knoxville and Chattanooga. We’re getting good rains today. I woke up to thunder, lightening, and a heavy rain. :-)
