Sort of. It was the rapture and all their tinfoil hats fell off on the way up.

Gehry was only alluded to in the vaguest of ways and "economic cleansing," while implied, was not explicitly stated. All in all not his best effort.

But I could have told you Kaplan's quotes before I even read them.

I suppose I should start polishing my Kickstarter pitch.

Don't worry, I lose enough sleep over it for the both of us.

One that could have serious consequences for Knoxville. The local production industry is built on the bundle.

Well, considering I'm facebook friends with both a "Johnny Illuminati" and a "Johnny Blue Jeans," I'd say no...

But at what cost? Which is the point I think Braff articulates pretty well in his sales pitch.

Underpants = profit

You've probably got a point there. Mostly, I just agree with Joe...that quote annoys me.

And I haven't really got a dog in the Amanda Palmer fight. I'll admit to not having a clue who she was...

And when deployed as a way to put down other people, it's a prime example of the sort of small-mindedness it supposedly deplores.

The street that runs in front of the KMA & Candy Factory was originally 10th Street. And there were quite a few buildings down there before the World's Fair.

Yeah. The Monday siblings split up the family's real estate empire at some point. Gene was the brother who gave a shit.

Flophouse.

I vaguely recall rumors that the Swan Building in Maplehurst (aka The Kristopher) was originally something like that. But, yeah...historic, purpose built apartment buildings in Knoxville are pretty...

Not going to say that doesn't happen, but I'd say it's a pretty rare event in Knoxville (priced out of buying renting in a 'hood in the first place, perhaps. But downright displacement...not so...
