Downtown Knoxville seeing a lot of shaking going on developmentally

cooper — Fri, 25 May 2007 10:40:27 -0500

Virtually every historic building along Knoxville's downtown Gay Street now is occupied, under renovation or has a plan to be soon.

And good luck finding a quick table at a restaurant on a weekend.

Most of the projects that market observers would base the area's growing sense of resurgence on actually are plans still in the making - a new, multiplex theater, renovated retail spaces and more than a half-dozen sites for condominium developments.

Still, downtown's progress in 2005 made the strongest case yet for what it could become.

South Knoxville: Bridging different worlds

You could say South Knoxville bridges different worlds. Several bridges connect the community to downtown and the University of Tennessee.
There are also many facets of South Knoxville, including two hospitals, a nature center, greenways, dogwood trails, student apartments, old farmsteads, and Island Home Airport with one runway.

Historic landmarks, graceful neighborhoods flavor East Knoxville

East Knoxville is a gumbo of parks, ethnic restaurants, historical sites, old architecture, rooted businesses and tributes to Knoxville’s African-American heritage.

The Knoxville Zoo perches near Chilhowee Park – longtime home of the Tennessee Valley Fair and a place with fond memories for generations of residents.

Magnolia Avenue, paralleling Chilhowee Park, is a nostalgic strip through East Knoxville. Ghosts of drive-in restaurants, Blue Circle, Krispy Kreme and roller coasters from the fairgrounds linger in the memory of Knoxvillians.
