A Conversation with Buzz Goss and Jeffrey Nash About Marble Alley and Downtown Knoxville

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 13, 2013

I sent an e-mail to Buzz Goss asking for an interview to which he readily agreed and we sat down together at Sapphire. I found him to be open, direct and passionate. Later in our conversation...

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt Sets Opening Date – Apartments in 36 Market Square Soon to Follow

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 12, 2013

It seems like years since the clever sign, “Coming Spoon,” went up in the window at 36 Market Square. Very close to a year ago the news broke that Orange Leaf Yogurt would occupy the retail...

Coffee and Chocolate Set to Open a Second Downtown Location

Knoxville Urban Guy·March 11, 2013

It didn’t take long for interest to emerge in 416 W. Clinch Avenue. As I noted last week, Le Parigo, which changed to icafe at the beginning of the year, had officially closed. Cedric, the long-term...
