what do you know about KNOXVILLE?

Those are gorgeous photos Nijoli! So jealous you guys get all that pretty snow - it never snows here :(

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.

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.

music lessons, scheduling musical performances and a Jewish sperm bank.

The record store is the Disc Exchange.

Just got back from Knoxville an hour ago, actually...saw the Necks at the Bijou Theater...absolutely stunning!!

Pawn shop still exists, Ken!

so as of monday night (barring flight delays etc) i will once again be a full-time resident of knoxville. pretty happy about this, tbh.

(and in time for big ears, too.)

<3<3<3!

welcome home, tipsy!

hott!

i was down for about 5 days earlier this month, it was really nice to be back, saw lots of friends, the place still feels like home to me. now we just gotta get a house w/a yard for the kids. hopefully not too far out of town.

as promised on the big ears thread, local media content feat. nijoli & ken c. (there's a photo in the print edition, that may go online later, not sure.)

lol at it saying ken is my best friend --- what is up with that?

do you know picture they are using?

one with your arms crossed? i saw it yesterday, don't have it in front of me. it's a cute pic.

why does it say ken is my "best friend" - hee hee hee - we have only met in person a total of three days

that kind of logic could diffuse a lot of friendships

haw! true...

do not call into question the accuracy of our quotations! if it says it in metro pulse, it is obviously true.

aw. they added the picture and corrected that ken was just a friend and not my bets friend forever.

knoxville is breathtaking today

sitting at Hot Horse record store in the Old City watching it rain and drinking PBR

i love this city

Just got a friend request from a Jim Hollbert, who apparently is running for the u.s house seat there.

Is he worth it y/n?

oh yes

worth answering the friend request? or worth voting for?

either way, sure.

from an unusual perspective:

Awww.

I know a guy who used to have the job of replacing the lightbulbs on that sign.

That's beautiful, is it one of Cmac's?

How do y'all feel about a knoxfap, now that there are four (or more?) of us in knox! maybe drinks or lunch at downtown grill&brew?

xpost im not surprised he lost the job, that sign never has all of its bulbs!!!

I just found it doing a google image search so I am not sure if it is CMac's or not. I love that sign so much.

I totally want to do a Knox Fap. Is anyone else in? Otherwise it is a just a Robinson Fap.

crump?
tipsy?
(others?)

big crump lives in knox now??

roxy he had that job in the 1960s, maybe standards were higher then! i doubt it though. he said he used to replace some bulbs and then sit on the sign and drink a beer.

big crump lives in knox now??

i would love to knoxville fap. next week or so is rough because i'm on full-time kid duty, but i could do a lunch somewhere in there. or some for-real pint-fancying some night after the end of the month.

I will be in the outer banks until the 27th, so waiting til the first of the month for pints sounds ideal.

if it's open to non-TN ilxors I'm sure I could convince ethan to come to knox some weekend.

i am not even sure about non-KNOXVILLE ilxors.
