seems appropriate to kick off summer on a hot, sticky night on a hot, sticky street.

this is gay street, a stretch of road that has served as a cultural and commercial capital for the city for over 200 years. friday night was spent on an architecture tour of gay street with guru of knoxville history Jack Neely. his stories of knoxville paint the city as a sort of rebellious, rambunctious little town. i’ve decided while the memphises (memphii?) and atlantas and nashvilles and birminghams of the south get all the box office sales, knoxville proves to be a cult classic through and through.

we met an elderly couple at the Biscuit Breakfast this morning who drove all the way from tampa to knoxville so that the gentleman could indulge his love of biscuits at Biscuit Fest. that’s 670 miles all for the love of food. i hope that’s what my retirement looks like.

i love the instagram filter on this. the t-bar lift seems like a relic from another time. i rode it once. well, i successfully rode it once. i’ve attempted to ride it three or four times.

purchasing
every single time i go to purchase a plane ticket, i freeze up. i am petrified that i will slip up and buy my ticket for the wrong day or wrong week. i check the form at least a dozen times before clicking ‘send’ or ‘confirm.’ and then i panic for about a day that i’ve still managed to screw it up.
that said, i’ve purchased a (cheap!) plane ticket to san francisco for june! the modern love machine and i are game-on for our west-coast summer extravaganza.

i think about this spot often. add it to my list of happy places. no, pure bliss places.

every so often i see knoxville in a new light and i feel as if i’m rediscovering it again.
