That explains the bldg. behind Fulton's house was an infirmary and still has medical equipment stored inside as does the attic of the Fulton Home. They will come down when the current UC is demolished in a few years.
My aunt's worked there from Muscle Shoals, AL. One of them, Elsie Corbell met an electrician, John Willimgham, also from Muscle Shoals. They married and I knew them as Uncle Johnny & Aunt Elsie. They left OR after the war, and went back home to work and retire.
Tried it for lunch one day. Thought it expensive & a little small in portion. 1 Sandwich, 1 order of fries, and a drink cost $12. I'd say their rent went up from Dixie Lee Jct. to Bearden. The place was busy, nonetheless.
Jack, I can't find it, but a number of weeks back you mentioned a cabin now at Museum of Appalachia. Whose cabin was that?
Hey, Jack, You have a fan!
Here - here. Throw the bums out. Why is it, what was a good opportunity to put a fresh face on Knoxville, turned into a money-grubbing free-for-all?
Some say Roy Brown's "Good Rockin' Tonight in '47, or Ike Turner's "Rocket 88" in '51, but Haley is as good a guess as any. Ever hear of Richard Penner? Professor Emeritus at UT. Wrote the first Roy Orbison hit, "Ooby Dooby", in '51?

Check out the picture of Moe reading the cookbook.
They have a nice website, but the E. TN Historical Society museum downtown isn't listed as an attraction
"deinstitutionalization—especially in the 1980s"...the beginning of the rich getting richer & the poor getting poorer. Wasn't that Reaganomics?
OK, I grew up here, and I'm proud to call it home, but we need to face reality. The Knoxville Smokies are located 20 miles away in Sevierville. We couldn't even build a minor league baseball stadium. The main traffic bearing roads are 2-lane residential such as Tazewell Pink, Northshore Drive, and Sutherland Avenue. We're way behind, and we should be the star of the State. Stay tuned to find out why.
Who wants to come to Knoxville? Chattanooga has a premier riverfront and aquarium. Knoxville has 3rd Creek Sewage Treatment Facility. Nashville has the Parthenon, Knoxville has a 30 years old empty Sunsphere. Memphis has Beale Street, Knoxville has Magnolia Avenue. What would that billboard look like?
There's a website www.reindeerman.com for all your reindeer needs. It's listed as Kyle & Donna Wilson on Currier Lane. They lease a herd of reindeer out for Christmas parties.
Here's one for you. Knoxville has 11th Street, and some of us remember 10th Street. Were there ever 1st - 9th Streets?
knoxborn you're a loser. Read the international commission on the drug war recently released report. The "drug-war" is a global failure, and West is a poster-child for the failed effort. I bet you live in a glass house.
Memphis was surpassed by Nashville as Tennessee's largest city in population a few years ago.
My Dad, who was born in 1910 and raised in Alabama, also enjoyed tamales as if they were a tradition. In some old family papers from the late 19th century, there are receipts for the purchase of oysters and oranges at Christmas time. A once a year, special treat. I would assume tamales were also a throwback to some old memories of his.

Why would anyone want to limit the rights of the good citizens, trained and tested, cleared and checked? Not many people can pass these stringent requirements this day and time. By restricting their right to carry, you're in effect, disarming the wrong people.
I cried for a week after the tragedy at TVUUC, although I had never attended service there nor was I close with any of its members. I was already in a depression anyway. I saw myself in Adkisson. I'll not shoot up a church let alone a liberal church, but I'm sad about my advancing age and inability to support my family. Mine is a special case in that seven years ago it fell to me to raise my son alone. He was 7, I was 47. We are totally alone, no baby mama, no grandmothers or aunts, uncles, cousins. It falls on me to keep a roof over his head and milk in the fridge. Lately, that's been difficult. I was laid off work last year and have struggled since. I know how it feels to get met with closed doors wherever you turn. No, you've used up this, and no you're not qualified for that, and no we have nothing for you. I'm supposed to be the stable, responsible parent. I've kept him safe for 7 years and now I can't. You have to be a single parent or maybe a Mother to know what that kind of responsibility feels like. So, in that way the kook hatemonger rang a bell for me. We're still in trouble; we could use some help. I felt drawn to the TVUUC for some comfort. When the crying stops, I would rather be dead than homeless in our society.
