The population of Downtown Knoxville has seen resurgence of late due to the renovation of historic properties. Barry Henderson explores the advantages and drawbacks to the metropolitan living trend sweeping our center city.

Citybeat
With the impending move of Earth Fare to Turkey Creek, Paige M. Travis polls local whole foods outlets on the local impact of its decision. Betty Bean follows up on the controversy over a school board candidate's residency.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan examines the bridge quandary facing downtown in Insights, Barry Henderson endorses same sex unions in Editor's Corner, Jack Neely digs deeper into the origins of Knoxville's Greek community in Secret History, Matt Edens exhorts downtown progressives to accept progress, and Glenn Reynolds calls for a lower drinking age.


Contra Intuitive
Non-dancer Paige M. Travis finally concedes to a swing across the floor as she investigates the addictive nature of contra dancing in advance of the 30th annual Knoxville Dance Weekend.


Punk rocker, bird farmer and mother of two Leslie Woods writes songs that are slow as molasses and just as rich. Joe Tarr speculates on the roots of her sound on the eve of her new CD Luxury of Sin. Mike Gibson talks to the father of a legendary jazz clan, Ellis Marsalis.

In Platters, Dave Douglas teams up with Bill Frisell on an unconventional album that still captures the essence of jazz, and we also take the new releases by Wyclef Jean and Roswell Rudd & Toumani Diabate for a spin.

Two years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, two exhibits in Knoxville reveal the resulting emotional repercussions and artistic revelations. Heather Joyner Spica takes a look.
