My delightful lunch bike ride came to an abrupt stop today with a flat tire. Sadly, yours truly has not gotten a new patch kit (depleted from so much glass on our streets) so I had to walk back to work. However, it did give an opportunity to observe and take some pictures. I came upon what might be my favorite architectural feature downtown:
Just up Church Street I saw something interesting:
I've heard rumors that there's a historic building hiding under that green brick travesty- is that exploratory demolition I see? Hopefully the owners find something worth saving and get rid of that awful skin.
Finally, I saw activity and a new sign at the woefully underused side of Koi on Market Square:
Looks like the "Dining District" will have yet another choice soon.

that's the keyhole building. wish i lived there.
what the hell is cocoa moon???? "fresh cuisine"? As opposed to what?
i was hoping for a frozen TV dinner joint.
as long as cocoa = chocolate in some form or fashion i'm there.
Worked across the street from the "keyhole building" for a decade or so at the real Knoxville Journal. Always loved it.
Also, I know the green building looks weird now, but I believe it was actually billed in its time as a "self-cleaning" building. The slick green exterior was easily cleaned by rainfall which washed away the coal dust that accumulated there. Knoxville was very dirty.
