CASE OF THE MISSING BLESSING BOX

  • The blessing box that had been in this spot under the CSX railroad overhead bridge in downtown Rocky Top apparently disappeared overnight last Wednesday. City Manager Mike Ellis said Monday that he doesn’t know what happened to it, but he did not believe the city had anything to do with its disappearance. The box was placed on railroad property by the Upper Room Church, which maintained it. Donors are now putting items for giveaway on top of this pier where the blessing box used to be. - G.
