We got to Knoxville right after the World’s Fair, just when there was a glut of rental property. That worked out great for us. I do miss East Tennessee, and suspect it’s better off for not growing too much.
There are certain attractions, including the Museum of Appalachia and the Knoxville Zoo that benefited enormously by having the fair in Knoxville.
Millinton and Knoxville are over 400 miles apart......
