What makes Knoxville unique? We often point to the cultural and entertainment offerings downtown, but most residents identify Knoxville with their own neighborhoods outside of the center city. And while they may exist far apart, sometimes in very different circumstances, these places collectively make up the Knoxville experience—whether you personally know about them or not. In this first edition of an ongoing series, we’re visiting different parts of Knoxville to simply record what we see, profiling the scenes and lives that help define our city. These may be familiar places we’ve all heard about, or curious things that may surprise even their neighbors—but they’re all Knoxville, and they’re all worth getting to know.
We've collected historical images of Knoxville, but we'd wager that you have some of your own. If you'd like to share, e-mail us (editor@metropulse.com) your submissions for a Reader's Gallery.
