A Look at a (Relatively) new Downtown Business

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 25, 2014

One of my planned destinations in my recent wandering about the area was Holly’s Corner. Owner Holly Hambright opened the restaurant about six months ago and, good intentions aside, I just hadn’t been able to make...

A Look at the Former Baptist Hospital: Present and Future

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 24, 2014

As I said a couple of days ago, my walk to south Knoxville originally started as a trip to look at the progress of the Baptist Hospital demolition, but then I got distracted, first by CityView...

The 700 Block of Gay Street to Undergo Major Changes – Eventually

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 23, 2014

Urban environments are complicated spaces. Anyone who witnessed the re-working of the 100 block of Gay Street understands just how complex something seemingly simple can become. The reality is that, often, no one really knows what...

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 22, 2014

Record Store Day – Vinyl in Knoxville? In 2014?

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 16, 2014

There’s not much more to say about the Chalk Walk beyond what I said yesterday, but this seemed like a good chance to respond to some of yesterday’s comments. I always appreciate comments. I know from...

Knoxville Urban Guy·April 15, 2014
