Knoxville Urban Guy·March 21, 2014

It’s accepted by those who pay careful attention to downtown buildings that the Medical Arts Building on Main Street is one of the most beautiful in the city. With its Gothic touches and ornate flourishes, it...

Ironwood Art Fair: A Cool Urban Party

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 20, 2014

Last weekend I attended an art fair/party at Ironwood Studios on Jennings Avenue, which is just a block off Broadway and just off Central – sort of between uptown and Happy Holler. The idea was simple:...

The Knoxville RatDog Scene

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 19, 2014

I’ve never qualified as a Dead Head. Honestly, I liked a few of their songs, but otherwise didn’t pay much attention to them until their resurgence in the 1980’s. Then they toured with Dylan and that...

The Art of Food (Trucks)

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 13, 2014

It seems pretty simple: There are people who want to provide great mobile food to the city. There are other people who want to pay money to eat their food. Put them together and everyone’s happy,...

Singer/Songwriter Open Mics Downtown

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 12, 2014

I think the reason I’ve avoided open mic nights for singer/songwriters is the same reason I’ve avoided comedy shows until recently: I hate to see someone bomb. It makes me uncomfortable to see someone else who...

First Friday Fun in Downtown Knoxville, March 2014

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 11, 2014

As I’ve done before, I’ll let the photographs carry most of the weight for First Friday. It was one of those nights I’ve experienced before in which I was dragging about and not real sure about...
