what do you know about KNOXVILLE?

knoxville expats are possessive about the place, for sure. including people like me who weren't even from there to start with. i don't have a clear explanation for that. some kind of murky gravitational pull. but a lot of the people i know who have left have ended up back there eventually. i sort of expect to too.

lol @ the argument upthread about what constitutes vestal

had a remarkably similar argument at the branch last night with two of us trying to explain where candoro marble was over the shoulders of a poor kid who did not care what vestal was/was not and just wanted to kn ow how to get to candoro marble

anyway, that argument ALSO included the sentence "that's the main intersection in vestal!!!!"

xpost i mean, its cause its a great place

I've only been to Knoxville in the past 10+ years for a Tom Waits show...the afternoon prior I bought a pipe at some terrible headshop and then hung out at some park near a bridge on the river? I think I need a return adventure?

probably worlds fair park?

yeah you need to update your ram

i thought it was candorA

dude, i can't wait to visit the branch

roxy i'm comin back to k-town in a week and a half, you want to meet the new human being i have taken co-possession of??

yeah lets take it to the branch!!!!!!!!!!!!

just kidding but yes!

its cause its a great place

it is a great place, it's just always a little hard for me to explain why. my associations with it are all so personal that they don't easily translate into anything anyone else could relate to.

Knoxville Zoo is the Red Panda Capital of the World, having the greatest success in breeding and survival of baby Red Pandas.

haha i love that on knoxblab when someone asks whats a good place for an outdoor brunch the first response is someone earnestly suggesting that they grab a krystal sunriser and eat it on the porch

i shall tell you: the new cuban restaurant on gay st. called something havana

I have come to understand it as a city imbued with qualities that prevent a wanderer from ever disengaging entirely.

i know and make fun of this girl often, she is the worst kind of indie kid

look at this ducking hipster

not worst kind of indie kid by far - definitely a case of regular folk just trying to get by/get along/be liked/find love/whatever

the girl or the duck?

oops i forgot you knew/liked her

she has not improved. she has done the opposite

This is a confusing exchange.

it is my hometown

lol at these girls http://knoxvillegossip.blogspot.com/

haha knoxlooks is only about 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better.

shit talks knoxville is a good name, but so far there is far too little shit talking. tho this is a fair point:

Having a "Bonnaroo edition" of anything fashion-related is shooting yourself in the foot, as far as any sane being is concerned.

knoxlooks peeps cant spell and never update! also i agree with the shit talkers that its embarassing. no one on it looks good, ever!

haha i swear that was a typo
