So much of our history is gone forever. It amazes me how many bad decisions have been made throughout the years. It’s almost like the city planners were trying to destroy history.<br />Parking lots and condos now occupy the spaces where beautiful buildings used to be. The most unbelievable thing is that they put interstate 40 right through downtown because people like Regas and Dempster wanted to make sure their businesses weren’t bypassed. Decisions like that created “Malfunction Junction” and traffic is still a nightmare through there.<br />Many poor decisions have damaged our city. <br /> <br /> Knoxville would be a much more attractive place if things were done differently. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578211550165005275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565394739456000340.post-14041520932593557922017-09-16T10:14:48.446-04:002017-09-16T10:14:48.446-04:00Also I just found a piece of jewelry from MaskallS...Also I just found a piece of jewelry from MaskallS 217 gay Street Knoxville the picture of the jewelry store is shown in this article. taking it to see just what it IS!! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151399635001265206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565394739456000340.post-58059470487494180832017-09-16T10:10:32.696-04:002017-09-16T10:10:32.696-04:00Check out Cormac McCarthy's SUTTREE No pictur...Check out Cormac McCarthy's SUTTREE No pictures, but a good read of Neyland Drive area.

Do you have any further details of that area near the river? Or any old photos, apart from Schwarzenbach's which are now at the Swiss Literary Archives.<br /><br />Greetings from Switzerland.
