The Downtown Knoxville Week (and a day) Ahead: 11/9 – 11/16/14

IMG_9128

If you see an event I’ve missed and you’d like to plug, please comment below or e-mail me (knoxvilleurbanguy@gmail.com) and I’ll try to add it. The list may, accordingly, be expanded through the week. Staying true to the scope of the blog, I’ll only list downtown or near-downtown events. Any number of venues outside of downtown have some great events, but I have to draw a line somewhere. If you want to add those in a comment, that’s fine. Please : “Friend” me on Facebook and invite me to your events. Look over to the right of this post and not only “friend” me, but “like” Inside of Knoxville. Subscribe (also to the right) to make sure you catch all the posts.

This post is my second in which I’ve included two Sundays since often something happens on a Sunday and some people haven’t thought to check that morning to see what’s happening. This way you can plan your week and your entire weekend. Spread the word on FB, etc.  Many people still don’t know about this resource.
