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.

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.
