Hello Friends,
Knoxville, Tennessee was recently named one of Trip Advisor's "Places on the Rise" and I couldn't agree more. Located on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee, Knoxville offers historical tours, outdoor beauty, festivals, fine food, and award-winning theater. History buffs will not be bored -- The Market Square downtown district has 19th-century buildings, shops and restaurants and James White’s Fort includes Knoxville's first permanent building, a reconstructed 1786 log cabin. Go Big Orange! Erik |

THE WEATHER
If you travel to Knoxville in the fall, then making time for a drive through the Great Smoky Mountains should be an essential part of your trip. Spring is also magnificent - especially during the Dogwood season. Winter is usually mild. Summers can get muggy so pack hot-weather clothes and plan to spend time on the beautiful Tennessee River. Knoxville's annual high temperature is 70°F and the low temperature is 50°F. |

WHERE TO EAT
When you find yourself hungry in Knoxville, don't worry! You have a huge selection of excellent restaurants to explore. For lunch I recommend Nick & J's burgers or Calhoun's for BBQ. For dinner, I highly recommend Brazeiros, an authentic Brazilian steakhouse. If you're in the mood for lighter fare, then go to The French Market for crepes and truffle fries. Market Square is also an excellent location to find restaurants a cool bars.
