Gone but not forgotten: Knoxville area restaurants and retailers we miss.

Thanks for sharing! I swam there a couple of times...probably in late 80s. Nice place then. I suppose part of the expenses were insurance. Seems like that's why a lot of community pools closed. It is a nice dog park now, and every time I take my 4 legged buddy there, he loves it. When I take him there, I can't help but think of what used to be.

Tell us about your 4 legged buddy.

Such a gorgeous pup. Love the expression, wonder what’s going through his mind.

Thanks man! He's wondering why I'm wearing so much orange! Hence, the light part of his fur on the side...it's a reflection. I'm serious about that, btw.

Oh me and little bit busted him out of jail. He's all house dog. While he loves to swim, I've been duck and goose hunting plenty of times and I know how nasty the weather can get. Ole Cash is all about the HVAC...if it isn't between 60 an 75 out, he doesn't want to go out

Anybody remember Spooky’s? Soul food spot located on Northshore near Kingston Pike…close to where Union Jacks is today.

My memory isn’t great. I think early 2000’s. My wife and I ate there multiple times. The food was good.
