a friend's husband -- a french guy living in farragut -- has some nice photos of knoxville. granted, he makes it seem completely unpopulated and post-industrial (i mentioned he's french, right?), but i especially like the old city shots.

the old krutch park at christmastime was a great little wonderland, with all the lights on trees. i haven't seen the new krutch at christmas, but i imagine it doesn't measure up.
― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 26 December 2009 00:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, you clearly haven't seen it!
they've basically extended the krutch decorations throughout downtown, surrounding a giant blur xmas tree on gay st
it looks amazing

― Kelsey Glamour (Nijoli), Saturday, 26 December 2009 01:16 (fourteen years ago) link

― S.E., we runnin' this FAP shit (roxymuzak), Saturday, 26 December 2009 01:22 (fourteen years ago) link
sounds cool. i just really liked krutch in its fenced-in hidden-garden incarnation.

(a move back to knoxville is looming ever more likely, btw. still a lot of details to work out, but the idea is pretty attractive in lots of ways.)

uhm...was last here briefly in June, before that last Christmas. I'm not really plugged into things anyway, just saw the thread and thought it would be wrong somehow to not pop up and say "I'm here!"
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 26 December 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
well welcome back!

haha thanks, sorry if the above seems sort of persnickety! family life, what can i say.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 26 December 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
not persnickety at all, imo

yay! I have been out of the country for six months and plunging back in by way of my family life has sort of broken all my social instincts. So far the main changes I've observed in the States are my family's acquisition of like three hundred remote controls, several of which don't control anything and one of which has to be constantly switched between different modes (ie, "TV" to change channels, "AUD" to turn the volume up).
Also my dad got married and they're swapping some furniture around. But everybody's still on the Atkins diet so there is some comforting familiarity around here.

krutch park while the xmas lights are up, but i think they take them down this week :(

It is snowing in Knoxville and they closed the Gay Street bridge. I live in the Old City so I walked up and took some pictures. Our city looks so pretty when it is a marshmallow world.

Thanks, Trayce! We never get snow, either, which is why I got so giddy and excited over our two inches.

went up in the sunsphere the other day. surprisingly, it didn't smell like piss. was a neat view. downtown knoxville is kind of ugly, though.
― figuratively, but in a very real way (amateurist), Friday, 8 January 2010 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
parts of downtown are ugly, and it definitely doesn't look like much from above. but at street level i think gay street and some of the little streets south of market square are nice, and market square itself too. plus i always like the sort of rough/ragged edges of everything. part of its personality.
and i love that photo of krutch park.

Neighbors Oppose Man's Plan for Music Studio, Sperm Bank
http://media.knoxnews.com/media/img/photos/2010/01/11/011210mpc1e_t607.jpg
Sequoyah Hills homeowners will be appearing before the Metropolitan Planning Commission Thursday to oppose a neighbor asking to turn his house into a duplex plus operate home occupations that would involve music lessons, scheduling musical performances and a Jewish sperm bank.
