frustratedpilotThe big story overday was the fire that destroyed the McClung warehouses in Knoxville. Three huge old brick buildings, practically the scruffiest part of Downtown, reduced to rubble and ashes.
The block had been an area of contraversy. It was both an eyesore and a potentially very good property for renovation. It was close to both the trendy Gay Street/Old City quarter and the homeless haven zone of Broadway & Magnolia. I guess the clock finally ran out.
I'm going to miss the Philco/Ernie Gross Designs building. I just am.
