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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?
― proprietor of gib (roxymuzak), Thursday, 19 August 2010 16:19 (thirteen years ago) link
xpost im not surprised he lost the job, that sign never has all of its bulbs!!!
― proprietor of gib (roxymuzak), Thursday, 19 August 2010 16:20 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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.
