For a good southern breakfast it's hard to beat Pete's Coffee Shop at the corner of Union and Locust (2 blocks from Market Square).

I think you're talking about the City/County Building parking garage.

Downtown Grill and Brewery is hard to beat. Reasonable priced micro brew pints, a lot of appetizers and sandwiches. Their loaded potato skins can feed two reasonably sized people.

If you come into town via 441 you'll be directed by the detour signs to South Knoxville Blvd/James White Parkway. I'm not exactly sure how the detour route is leaving town. However, if you go to 1-40 East away from downtown, James White Parkway (and the detour to 441 will be your first exit of...

Church Street United Methodist (which is on Cumberland, not Church :)) parks cars on game day as a fundraiser for the church. You would need to plan on being there 2-3 hours prior to kickoff. It's much closer than the Credit Union lot off 17th. From 40 West you'd exit on the James White Parkway...

Our party set up on the "patio" in the G-10 surface lot for the last 15 years or so. Those days are gone for the moment with the construction of the building down there. All you've got in G-10 now is the garage. The patio was a lot of fun. While UT didn't do much to keep it maintained, it...

I think C6 is underground. As far as tailgating...yes. You'll find tailgating going on in any of the permit lots.

There's a surface lot in the 400 block (right across from the Hilton).

G10 is permit only. There used to be a large surface area in addition to the garage, but starting this year the surface area has disappeared, so all you have is the garage. To get on the top deck of G10 you need to get there as early as you can.

In addition to the downtown garages, all the downtown surface lots will be offering parking on gameday. The earlier you get there the better. I don't know anything about bus schedules. The walk from downtown is not any worse than what I've experienced at several away venues. Keep in mind that...

Can't help you except to say I wouldn't be surprised if they have a large area that's restricted due to the Henley Bridge reconstruction.

Wow, I'm new to the board. It seems a lot of these Knoxville comments are based on the way things were 20, 10, even 5 years ago. The downtown area has made a dramatic turnaround. The boarded up buildings on Gay are nowhere close to as prominent as they used to be and are mostly in the 300 block...

Don't know about anyone else but I personally think Dead End is some of the best in town.

I wouldn't call it a dive bar. It has an eclectic clientele, and that can change as the evening progressive. The later you go, the younger you go. I'm well within the baby boomer demographic and have never felt uncomfortable there, even if I am a little older than average. The recently opened...

Dave Hooker just asked Serrano about Chris Burke. Serrano didn't tip his hat to anything but did say Burke has already congratulated him and that they would talk. Serrano said it would have to be the right circumstances for both of them, and added that Chris will be an outstanding coach wherever...
