As charming as former University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley was at a $250-per-ticket fundraiser in Sequoyah Hills last week (see previous post), he was even more engaging at a much cheaper-ticket event the following evening at the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum. More than 150 garden lovers showed up to buy copies of [...]

Blue Coast Burrito Grille, the new restaurant in the renovated historic space that used to be Gus’s restaurant (and Perry’s and Peroulas and the Gold Sun, among others, before that) opened last week with just a brief little notice on Twitter. Of course, Alan and I, who are all about everything downtown, headed over to [...]

The invitation had historic photos from Miller’s in its heyday. And we chose the time setting [...]

• “He said all the right things.”

• “He doesn’t seem like a loose cannon!”
Those were some of the comments heard in the crowd of nearly 300 business people gathered at the Knoxville Convention Center Monday to welcome the new University of Tennessee president, Joe DiPietro.

Fox and his partner, Ralph Cianelli, every year transform the house into a Christmas wonderland with collections of ornaments from all over the world adorning [...]

Alan and I have put our house where our mouth is!
On Monday we sold our home on Cherokee Boulevard in Sequoyah Hills and became full-time residents of downtown Knoxville. This was the culmination of a process that included a number of serendipitous events along with a daily growing passion for the downtown lifestyle.
Here’s the deal.

And the good folks at Kendrick Place near Chesapeake’s restaurant in downtown Knoxville had agreed to let Knox Heritage have the private drive behind their condos for a “Dancin’ in the Street” party.
