The South Knoxville Waterfront Action Plan, the Cumberland Avenue Corridor Plan, and the Downtown North initiative are all ambitious ventures geared toward reestablishing and strengthening our urban core. ]]>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13649-733274knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNBad Signs for DowntownMetroPulsebad-signs-downtownurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13649-733274Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/aug/06/give-me-brake/?partner=RSSShot of Urban by Michael Haynes: I hear that one a lot. There are quite a few topics, among folks who live or spend a significant amount of time downtown, that come up over and over again. Many of them recounting near-death pedestrian experiences, and the widespread disregard by drivers for people on foot around here. ]]>Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13589-733260knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNGive Me a BrakeMetroPulsegive-me-brakeurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13589-733260Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jul/23/more-me/?partner=RSSShot of Urban by Michael Haynes: I was talking with a friend of mine the other day who is considering moving downtown. Like a lot of my neighbors and neighbors-to-be, his life has changed. Priorities, like a house large enough to accommodate the family, evolve over time. And the more time he spends downtown these days, the more he thinks it might be a fit for him. ]]>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13539-733246knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNMore for MeMetroPulsemore-meurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13539-733246Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jul/09/place-our-own/?partner=RSSShot of Urban by Michael Haynes: When I first was approached about doing this column, it was couched as a view of downtown from the perspective of someone who lives here—someone from the neighborhood. There’s plenty of commentary on our center city. But, with few exceptions, it’s from people who write about downtown with the same detachment they write about Halls or Bearden. The opportunity revived a touchy question among friends of mine: Just what do I consider to be “downtown.” ]]>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13491-733232knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNA Place of Our OwnMetroPulseplace-our-ownurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13491-733232Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jun/25/pulling-out-stops/?partner=RSSShot of Urban by Michael Haynes: On our way to Krutch Park the other day, the dogs and I passed two couples studying the map at the trolley stop on Union Avenue. On the way back, they were still lingering in front of the former Macleod’s location near the stop. ]]>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13445-733218knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNPulling Out the StopsMetroPulsepulling-out-stopsurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13445-733218Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/jun/11/drive--theater/?partner=RSSWed, 11 Jun 2008 21:08:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13405-733204knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNDrive-in TheaterMetroPulsedrive--theaterurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13405-733204Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/may/28/pimping-out-downtown/?partner=RSSShot of Urban by Michael Haynes The last few years have brought a lot of life back to downtown. Some of us remember the first Sundown in the City as something we needed to “get out and support” for the sake of the center city. It was like visiting a sick aunt at the nursing home. She needed us. ]]>Wed, 28 May 2008 22:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13348-733190knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNPimping Out DowntownMetroPulsepimping-out-downtownurn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13348-733190Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/may/14/babylon-box-blight/?partner=RSSShot of Urban: Some things don’t belong on the sidewalk. Litter, sleeping drunks, and dog poop, for example. Then there are things that do. You expect them. Mailboxes, benches, and newspaper boxes are part of that. They make life better. They give us something we need. They’ve always been there and that’s okay. ]]>Wed, 14 May 2008 21:00:00 -0000urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13302-733176knoxville-issues/shot-of-urbanMichael HaynesKnoxville, TNThe Babylon of Box BlightMetroPulsebabylon-box-blighturn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-13302-733176Change0Usablehttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/apr/30/bacon-and-eggs-and-potatoes-oh-my/?partner=RSSA Shot of Urban: The news was dire. As the first element of the American food trilogy (eggs, milk, and bread), they are a kitchen staple. It’s the sort of emergency that, some might expect, ought to cause me to clench my fists and curse my foolish choice to live downtown. Downtown needs a grocery store! It’s conventional wisdom.
