We drove to Knoxville to find the “Woodruff Brewery”. It is located on S Gay Street. We had lunch there and tried some Woodruff IPA beer (which I disliked).
The Woodruff Building dates back to the 1800’s with Captain W. W. Woodruff owning it. The “Downtown Grill & Brewery” is now a popular Brewery and eating place downtown Knoxville.
While in Knoxville we visited the “Master General Store” on S Gay St that has been selling a broad selection of goods, including food, apparel & outdoor gear, since 1883.
We also visited a Walmart that had their parking lot “beneath” the store!
We noticed driving back from Knoxville that there was this invasive looking ivy type of growth alongside the highways. It was everywhere.
We are told it is “kudzu” and can grow a foot a day — up to 60 feet a season. It throws down roots everywhere it can, working its way into cracks and crevices on buildings, even collapsing whole barns and buckling power lines.
Enjoyed Knoxville but …. prefer the countryside better personally.
Bill and Barb ... where to next?
