[LSyd]

between moving overseas, getting married, and having some kids i fell behind on posting photos. so here's some photos of my hometown taken between 2010-2016. i organized as best i could by neighborhood with information on notable demolitions (and it's scary how many occurred during this time IMO).


my Knoxville pics from 2009 if you want more

Fort Sanders

A ten-fold expansion of U.T.'s student body after World War II brought about the need for student housing, and many of the old homes in Fort Sanders have since been converted into apartments.

East Knoxville/Magnolia Ave

East Knoxville is the section of Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, that lies east of the city's downtown area. It is concentrated along Magnolia Avenue (US-70/US-11), Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard, Dandridge Avenue, and adjacent streets, and includes the neighborhoods of Parkridge, Chilhowee Park, Morningside, Five Points, and Burlington.[1] East Knoxville is home to the Knoxville Zoo, the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum, and Chilhowee Park.
Urban renewal projects in Downtown Knoxville in the 1950s and 1960s displaced numerous African American residents, many of whom relocated to East Knoxville. Most East Knoxville neighborhoods remain mixed neighborhoods
