I drove through the worst parts of Knoxville, Tennessee. This is what I saw.
Wow! Knoxville's worst areas weren't what I thought they'd be at all. What an interesting experience!
So we’re going to begin our trip in downtown Knoxville on the northern edge of downtown in a small district called Old City. This is the sketchiest part of downtown Knoxville - home to the city’s main bus stop, train station and homeless shelter. There are a decent number of shops, restaurants and bars here, and this is where people go clubbing - typically starting at about 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
It’s Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 11:15 am.
We’re going to leave the downtown area and head east into the worst area of Knoxville.
As you can see, many areas along the eastern side of downtown Knoxville look to be undergoing change. That’s because Knoxville has begun a gentrification process, slowly moving out the poorer members of the community further out, making room for condos, more retail and other newer and more modern buildings that will be appealing to younger, wealthier home buyers and residents.
This is the corner of McCalla Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. As you can see across the street - the city has removed a large section of poor, crime ridden areas and built a more modern community. This particular community is called Five Points.
However, two blocks in front of us, if we kept going, on the other side of this new little development, is one of Knoxville’s worst projects. It’s a very interesting dynamic, where you have brand new homes on the same block as the projects.
This gentrification process is controversial. While many support improving communities, it forces poorer people out of their homes, separating them from friends and family. It is odd to see random modernized homes mixed in with older rundown homes. On some blocks, rent goes for $500 for most of the block, and then there are fixed up homes renting for $1,500 a month, or selling for $250,000 grand.
Knoxville has plans to continue modernizing its neighborhoods to lure in more affluence to the area. It seems to be working, as the Knoxville metropolitan area has grown faster than the national average, only trailing the Nashville area in terms of growth.
We’re now in the Parkridge neighborhood, which regularly gets the most attention when it comes to crime and poverty. But I’ve seen some ghetto areas, and this was tame in comparison.
Crime wise - it’s not pretty. Knoxville has been called one of the 50 least livable cities, because, while the downtown area might be charming and very safe, the outskirts are very poor and dangerous. Crime in Knoxville is 131% higher than other cities of its size. 1 in 4 people in Knoxville lives in poverty, almost double the national average.
We’re going to turn left and head west back towards downtown again and head down Magnolia Avenue, one of the most dangerous streets in the greater Knoxville area. Many times, when you hear about a crime, it’s along this section of East Magnolia Avenue.
To be honest, the worst areas of Knoxville were not really even all that bad. From my perspective, the worst outlying areas of Knoxville are just generally poor with heightened crime, but NOTHING like areas in major cities across the country.
We’re going to end the drive here. We also did a drivethrough of downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee, as well as a video on our drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The links to those videos are in the description.

Mast general store 1982 worlds fair sun sphere Tennessee theater Knoxville
SMITTY TRAVELS to mast general store , the 1982 worlds fair sun sphere and the historic Tennessee theater Knoxville Tennessee in toy Store and More . lots of cool relics and sites..
The Knoxville store has been a retail landmark in Downtown Knoxville since 1898. The building was constructed after the Million Dollar Fire in 1897. The fire started in a nearby hotel and destroyed the entire block on our side of the street. The flames spread so fast and were so intense that the Chattanooga Fire Department was called in to assist. They put their pumper on a train that left for Knoxville approaching speeds of 90+ miles per hour.
When the building was rebuilt, it was home to the McNulty Grocery and Dry Goods Co.
In 1901 M. M. Newcomer's Department Store made the move from across the street into the building at 402 South Gay Street. It was one of Knoxville's bigger stores.
As an interesting aside to the history of the actual building, the Original Mast Store in Valle Crucis had a long relationship with Knoxville, which makes the store on Gay Street even more interesting. In perusing the invoices for goods purchased for the shelves from 1902 until 1920, numerous invoices had Knoxville addresses. One of the addresses is just down the street at what is now the Downtown Grill and Brewery. In the early 1900s, it was Woodruffs, a wholesale and retail house for all kinds of goods. There are also a number McClung Wholesale invoices. The McClung Warehouses are just a short drive from the store and are near the rail yard. Farm implements, barbed wire, and other items were stocked from this business.
In 1932, the Knox Dry Goods Store replaced M. M. Newcomers. Through the years it provided all kinds of goods and services including a beauty shop on the second floor. Knox Dry Goods modernized its name in 1954 becoming known as The Knox. It was a mainstay in the downtown area until 1977 when The Boston Store moved into the building.
In the late 1970s, many retailers had left downtown for the suburbs. The store was vacant until the White Grocery Store moved in in 1982 and operated until 1988. After that, the building was used for storage including sewing machines and all other items.
The Mast Store opened in August 2006.
1982 World's Fair
The 1982 World's Fair, formally known as the Knoxville International Energy Exposition, was held in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. The specialized Expo themed Energy Turns the World, was recognized by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE).
It opened on May 1, 1982, and closed on October 31, 1982, after receiving over 11 million visitors. Participating nations included Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, and West Germany.
The fair was constructed on a 70-acre (280,000 m2) site between downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. The core of the site primarily consisted of a deteriorating Louisville and Nashville Railroad yard and depot. The railroad yard was demolished, with the exception of a single rail line, and the depot was renovated into a restaurant. The Sunsphere, a 266-foot (81 m) steel tower topped with a five-story gold globe, was built for the 1982 World's Fair. It still stands and remains a symbol for the city of Knoxville.
In 2007, the East Tennessee Historical Society opened an exhibit commemorating the 25th anniversary of the World's Fair.
Tragedy: A Food Desert Driving Tour of West Knoxville
Alternate title: Food Desert in Paradise
According to the US Department of Agriculture, almost all citizens of Knoxville, TN are trapped in one food desert or another.
The Knoxville Metropolitan Planning Commission agrees and they note the same desert examined in this video too:
knoxfood.org/knox-county-20-food-deserts
I took a driving tour of one of them, it meets the original measure of a food desert: Low Income, and Low Access to food at 1 mile (urban area measure). The thing is, West Knoxville might be low income compared to the District of Columbia, Manhattan or San Francisco, but it is one of the pricer parts of town to live.
How they are measuring access is a bit of a puzzle too. Not even a Kroger store the immediate area will eliminate a food desert, save for one Kroger at Knox Plaza located in the midst of some very pricey real estate. Not so with Super Walmart, Super Target, a food co-op, or a variety of ethnic stores. Still other parts of town with expensive homes are designated food deserts, but when you get into the very wealthy areas they lose that designation.
Unless you have a Kroger in your front yard, or you are a professor at the local university (their favorite neighborhoods escaped desert status) you are in a food desert around here.
As you will see in the video, the following grocers all operate within the food desert. Combined they provide incredible variety that should please any rich white liberal. They provide both variety and value that any normal person would love also.
Trader Joe's #663
Target store #151
Lucky Asian Mart
Mi Pueblo Super Mercado
India Market
The term food desert is nothing more than empty alarmist leftist garbage. The only way to eliminate them for this tract is to violate local zoning laws, knock down some houses, and build grocery stores every half mile.
The Trader Joe's was featured in this Glenn Reynolds post:
