Knoxville and UT pictures (from 3 years ago)

Here are some photos I took in the spring of '06 that I was just too lazy to upload.

I know I'm not a great photographer, but I'd like to know what y'all think.

I use to live in Knoxville from 1987 until 1992. Gay Street was much different back then. Looks much nicer now.

Lived in Knoxville for a year in 1995/96. I liked it. Neat city.

I worked for a company that handled the historic renovations of the Medical Arts Building. I can't remember the exact year, but it was after your pictures were taken. The building is now mostly luxury apartments. As a historic renovation ,most of the original attributes remain in place with updates and finishes. I liked the exposed spiral ductwork in the units that gave them a nice "industrial feel" but always thought the owner could have chosen some nicer bathroom finishes like FIBO walk in Showers that are more upscale in look than the builders grade showers and less long term problems than tile for property owners.

One of my favorite small cities. LOTS of changes since these pictures.
