Knoxville had what was called “Malfunction Junction”
That describes most big cities to me. When I took my little dog to the emergency clinic in Chattanooga last month, it was almost like driving in Atlanta ten years ago. I normally stay in one of the two slower lanes. I was getting passed like crazy and when I checked my speed, I was going 85. It’s nuts.
Knoxville is getting as bad. The last time I went through there headed to the big orthopedic hospital for a nerve conduction test, there was a lot of construction. Plus, I think the Vols were playing at home. Knoxville is a no-go zone when it’s football season.
The big TN cities are trying to expand to accommodate all of the blue state transplants but there is nowhere for them to go.
