What are some of Knoxville’s most notable ‘missing teeth’ in the downtown area? – Knoxville News Sentinel
Just like a dentist, downtown developers are looking to fill some of the city’s most notable “missing teeth.”
Knox News reported last week on plans to bring a mixed-use development, which would include a hotel, to an empty lot on Gay Street between Mast General Store and Chivo.
It got us thinking: What are some other empty spaces in the downtown Knoxville landscape that could benefit from new investments?
Ryan Wilusz and Calvin Mattheis, co-hosts of “The Scruffy Stuff,” discuss some of the most obvious examples, including those with redevelopment plans, as well as gaps you maybe never considered.
