What’s Going Down in K-Town (this weekend)

For those of you who follow this blog, you may know that Caroline and my interests are all over the place. However, we really pride ourselves in getting out into the community and taking advantage of what Knoxville has to offer. There are so many things to do here, even on weekends of cold and nasty weather. However, it looks like it is going to be a nice weekend, just a little cold. Caroline and I have to work on Sunday, so I think we will be doing the East Lakeshore Trail with Sawyer and Luna (our dogs) and then going to check out some great music at the Bijou Theatre at night. We have compiled a short list of local activities that you should check out:
