Tenn Words
If asked to answer that question in ten words or less, how would you respond?
"My cancer coming back"
"Losing my job"
"Someone hurting my kids"
"My daughter's employment status"
Since 2015, the Tenn Words display and the TruckBeat truck have been traveling throughout East Tennessee to find out what's on your mind.
Your answers to that question have been collected and cataloged. With more than 750 responses, we've been able to identify trends and outliers, giving us a clearer picture of what concerns us as a community. If you'd like to see some of them, check out our Twitter and Instagram feeds.
