Market Square Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee
HRT 224 Project
I drove through downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. This is what I saw.
Wow so Knoxville is sneaky cool and fun. Who would have thought?
Okay so on this road trip of Knoxville, we’re going to bounce around a little bit instead of doing our Knoxville city tour in one continuous drive like we normally do. Right now, we’re just outside of campus at the University of Tennessee, which begins just outside of the downtown area. We’re on Cumberland Avenue, heading east towards downtown.
It’s Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 10:30 am.
We’re on the very southern edge of downtown now, and this is the Tennessee River, where there are a handful of restaurants and housing developments. The Tennessee River begins here in Knoxville. It’s headwaters are formed due to the confluence of the French Broad and Holston Rivers.
We’re at Gay Street, which is the main drag here in Knoxville. Along Gay Street are hotels, arts venues, shopping, and a ton of restaurants and bars.
Knoxville’s population is 170,000. There’s a lot of history here. Arguably the nation’s first electric streetcar ran right up the middle of this street way back in 1890. Mountain Dew had its beginnings in Knoxville. The channel HGTV is based here too. Country singer Kenny Chesney grew up here and director Quentin Tarantino was born here.
Here on the left is Knoxville’s market square, which has a number of restaurants and some shopping. This is where Knoxville has its farmers markets, musical acts, and the city puts in a temporary skating rink in the winter time.
Now we’re heading east again back towards Gay Street.
On the north end of town is the more run down section of downtown 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.
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.
For perspective, we’ll show you how quickly things change just a block or two east of downtown. The city of Knoxville has been working hard to gentrify and improve much of the greater Knoxville area by rebuilding older rundown homes in this part of town and building newer homes to appeal to younger, wealthier home owners. It’s a process that is ongoing here in Knoxville, and one we talked about a little more extensively in another video we did on the worst areas of Knoxville, where we drove through east Knoxville.
The link to that video is in the description.
For perspective on downtown, we’re going to jump to a clip on the south side of downtown, from where we will drive over the Tennessee River on the Gay Street Bridge and drive back into downtown from across the river.
Now, one more other particular area we covered was a section of the University of Tennessee, which is only two miles from downtown proper. This is what the locals call The Strip, and it’s a series of restaurants and bars where the college kids hang out. During football and basketball games, it can be quite busy here.
Leaving the strip, we head into campus proper. We’re going to show you two landmarks on campus - where the basketball team plays their games, and the campus’ football stadium. The University of Tennessee has about 28,000 students, which puts it just inside the top 50 in terms of largest attendance
Here on the left is the massive Thompson-Boling Arena where the mens and womens basketball teams play. This street is called Phillip Fulmer way. It was named after long-time football coach Phillip Fulmer. The stadium here in the middle of campus is called Neyland Stadium. It’s absolutely massive - and holds 102,000 people. It’s so large it’s hard to even get the entire thing in one frame.
That’s the end of our drive through the greater Knoxville downtown area. Hopefully this gave you some perspective on what Knoxville Tennessee is like.

Knoxville is a city on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee. Downtown, the Market Square district has 19th-century buildings with shops and restaurants. The Museum of East Tennessee History has interactive exhibits plus regional art, textiles and Civil War artifacts. James White’s Fort, built by the Revolutionary War captain, includes the reconstructed 1786 log cabin that was Knoxville’s first permanent building.
Knoxville is in Eastern Tennessee, United States. It is the third-largest city in the state. It is the home of the University of Tennessee's primary campus (UTK) and site of the 1982 World's Fair. Knoxville is on the Tennessee River about an hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once called the 'scruffy little city', the downtown is undergoing a rapid renaissance as young people move into the lofts and apartments created from the factories and warehouses of another era. On any evening of the week, throngs of residents and visitors can be seen at the sidewalk cafes, theaters, restaurants and night clubs along Gay Street and Market Square. The University of Tennessee, with its 27,000 students, is within walking distance of the downtown, separated only by the World's Fair Park.
One can still see remnants of the 1982 World's Fair in the Sunsphere, a rising structure topped with a gold sphere which dots Knoxville's skyline, however, most of the other structures from the Fair were removed to create a large city park which attracts families, students, and artists on weekends and sunny days. The World's Fair brought a lot of attention and development to the city, including high-rise office structures, and the four-star Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Marriott hotels.
Knoxville is home to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, but the city seems dominated by the University of Tennessee Volunteers (men only) and Lady Volunteers athletics. The basketball teams play in the 21,000+ seat Thompson Boling Arena, and the nationally recognized football team plays in Neyland Stadium, one of the largest on-campus stadiums in the world at 103,000 seating capacity. During the fall you will find plenty of orange in the foliage, but you will see Big Orange year round with the people of Knoxville.
Dubbed a 'scruffy little city' by the Wall Street Journal before the 1982 World's Fair, Knoxville is strutting its stuff these days as an increasingly prominent and well-polished destination for outdoor, gastronomy and craft-beer enthusiasts. Knoxville is also home to the University of Tennessee and its rabid college-football fan base. On game days the whole town is painted orange as fans pack Neyland Stadium to watch the beloved Volunteers. But there's more to Knoxville than football. No longer content to play second fiddle to nearby Chattanooga and Asheville, the city – a former textiles production center – now touts itself as a base camp for visitors to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sugarlands Visitor Center is just 29 miles away, and Knoxville is a far more enticing spot to eat and drink than other cities near the park. For hikers and mountain bikers, the city's ever-expanding Urban Wilderness is becoming its own reason to visit.
