What’s so great about Knoxville?


We have met lots of people down here, and people from Alabama truly love Alabama. When we tell them that we plan on returning to Knoxville in a few years, we always get asked the same question.

What’s so great about Knoxville?

Besides the fact that it is our hometown, where our childhood friends and our families live, I have composed a list of what is so great about Knoxville


1. The University of Tennessee sports programs
2. The “old city” – in particular my favorite spot is Barleys Pizza
3. Fountain city duck pond
4. The Tennessee Theatre
5. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is 45 minutes away
6. Dollywood – oddly this really is a great attraction
7. Littons – famous burger place across from duck pond. Featured on ESPN
8. Victor Ashe Park – 18 holes of disc golf
9. Knoxville Golf Course – where else can you play nine holes for $8
10. Third Creek Greenway – the best trail in the city with great views of the TN river
11. Loui’s – family owned Italian restaurant
12. World’s Fair Site – The golden ball is a landmark in the quaint city
13. Market Square – free concerts, good atmosphere, and ice skating at Christmas
14. Calhoun’s on the river– Ask anyone from Tennessee about Calhouns bar b que
