It might or might not be a new millennium, but there was much familiar about 2000 in Knoxville. The same old tensions—city vs. county, schools vs. County Commission, developers vs. residents, Vols vs. Florida—played out in some of the same old ways. On the other hand, there were hints of change on many fronts, from the overdue compromise on annexation to the brouhaha over downtown development. The Vols had what they call a "transitional" year. You could say the same for the entire city.
