Jack Neely heads into East Knoxville and gains noticeable weight sampling the variety of fare there that is practically without peer in the rest of the city. The greens with the pulled Bar-B-Q and ribs will tickle you pink, the pre-eminent pizza is Greek-style with curb service, the Philippine Connection is connected, and Jack covers the vittlefront there like it's never been covered.

The perils of public skateboarding and the need for a dedicated, closed course are illuminated by Joe Tarr, and Jack Neely sings a swan song for the historic Park Theater.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan says the contentious convention center hotel issue should go back to the drawing board in Insights, and Jack Neely collects responses to his recent works on Pittsburgh, Burlington, and Estes Kefauver in Secret History.

Think you're stuck with the ordinary run of overhyped, overblown and underscripted Hollywood movies in Knoxville and its environs. Look again—with a little help from Paige M. Travis, who conducts a cook's tour of the art, indie, and foreign film venues that abound around town. You'll be surprised at the breadth of counter-H'wood opportunity there is here.

Don't call it a comeback, but Jump, Little Children is finally hitting stride. Leslie Wylie traces the evolution of this eclectic assembly of musicians in the Music Feature. Meanwhile, Eye on The Scene reports on a new supergroup and checks in with a famous ex-Knoxvillian. In Backstage, Paige M. Travis looks forward to the opening of the Actor's Co-op production of Speaking in Tongues. Although it's set "down under," don't expect a "g'day, mate" or a "crikey" here. Between booking shows for bands and running his own publishing company, Adam Voith finds time to pen the brilliant Stand Up Ernie Baxter: You're Dead. Lloyd Babbit says in Pulp that this piece of heaven-bound fantasia is so good that you'll want to read it again. Way more than your average taco stand, Tortilla Mac's impresses Connie Seuer in Restaurant Rover with simply made and amazingly tasty Mexican lunches. Stephanie Piper announces "the muse has left the building" in Midpoint. Matt Edens reconciles hippies and yuppies in Urban Renewal. CALENDAR * MOVIES

I'm tired of all this "quid pro quo" in politics. I think it's time for some "squid pro quo." If you want something done, you should have to bring your legislators some calamari.
