Armada Closes; Adjacent Development Continues

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 17, 2016

Armada, a craft cocktail bar which I profiled last summer closed earlier this month. A simple message posted to their Facebook page on February 5 read, “We are very sad to announce that tomorrow night, Saturday, 02/06/15...

Titus Andronicus at the Clarence Brown Theatre

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 16, 2016

Thought to be perhaps William Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus has not fared well over the years. Often out of fashion and thought to be an inferior work, the play also drew criticism for gratuitous violence....

Saturday Sounds: Heiskell with Wayne Bledsoe on Six O’Clock Swerve

GEO Hair Lab is Open and Rocking Fifth Avenue

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 11, 2016

Last September I told you about Jeremy Wann’s intention to open GEO Hair Lab. Opening a salon isn’t that unusual, but opening one on Fifth Avenue would not have seemed possible just a short time ago....

The Lunchbox Reopens Under New Ownership

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 10, 2016

It was just a few weeks ago that Karen Sproles announced the closure of both locations of The Lunchbox. I’d written about the downtown location when they moved from the First Tennessee Plaza to Market Street...

People of Mardi Gras, Mobile 2016

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 9, 2016

Just as the title suggests, here are a few of my favorite people shots from the second day. The Joe Cain Parade is deliberately more of a “people’s parade” and the floats are less spectacular. That...

Happy Mardi Gras 2016, Mobile Style

Knoxville Urban Guy·February 9, 2016

The last time I attended a Mardi Gras parade or event was, I think, 1974. I grew up in and around Mobile, Alabama and it was part of the culture. I thought everyone had Mardi Gras...
