This was SO good! I love how you included so many maps. Have you ever considered covering any of the TVA's many rerouting of rivers? I can never find maps of how the river paths were before the dams, except for literally *one* really old, incomplete map. I'm fascinated with all the drowned towns and well, anything forgotten underneath other things (which is why I found this).

When did Champaign-Urbana start to be Urbana-Champaign? There used to be a newspaper called the Champaign-Urbana Courier.

you sure you WHAT DESTROYED KNOXVILLE you sure ,or is it what or who is voting for who.

I remember i in the 70's. My grandma and I would go to.maarket square once a week. There was a thrift store called the Bargain Box. And then we ate at Nan'sDemton. I really miss those days.

Tennessee is doing great. Memphis on the other hand...

you said a whole lot of stuff but at the end of the day it's real simple why they live there. People move where they can afford to live. Public transit reliance is another factor. That sums up the majority of why they live there.

This is another example of how Black People are always segregated into one area of town that receives no real local, state, or federal dollars to make it a safe and prosperous place to live. Then they tack on words like crime zone, food desert, bad side of town, etc. And there’s no real explanation except it truly just boils down to racism, plain and simple. It’s like that in every state of the union. Will someone please explain why Black People are always treated unfairly? Even when those who can afford to live in nice areas, they are made to feel like they are unwelcome. For the vast majority of Black and Brown people they are always looked at as something less then. WHY?

I lived in the Knoxville area around 2007 (not in the city, but in an adjoining county) and worked about six blocks north of Magnolia Avenue in East Knoxville. I am white, all my co-workers were white. I was always told by them that the area was dangerous. I was shown an area where a famous double murder of two white people was committed. I was told that prostitutes would try to get in my work truck at a certain location in the area. Despite this, I never felt in danger in the area and have been back there multiple times with no sense of danger. It is shameful that ignorant and racist governments and urban planners were given so much power to make changes that disproportionately affected the black community. IMO, this was the intention of these planning programs, to label predominately black areas as "slums" and attempt to restrict black people into "designated" areas where attempts would be made to control them (i.e. overpolicing). When viewed in comparison to the rest of Knoxville, East Knoxville feels very left behind. Good video! Thanks!

Great video

Thank you, that was GREAT information! Please do more!

All done by design; by Any means Necessary! This happened throughout this So-called great USA! The Insidious mindset is Always on CODE!

Demonratic

Why did you stop uploading videos?

You said Alcoa wrong and you don’t know that bridge

Came across this because I 'm a photographer and have a shoot at the theater. I've been there a few times... but the history of this place is amazing!

This video was so annoying on many different levels👍

The cost of the present Smokies stadium was 19.4 million dollars when it opened in 2000.The cost of the new stadium will exceed 110 million dollars when it opens in 2025.

Yeah... The light rail has been overrun by the homeless/drug addicts. It used to be fantastic, but it's not safe anymore. Just look up the news clips about how bad it is now before you try to bash me for saying what I said...

Fun fact: when the sidewalks opened Morristown had a parade led by Dolly Parton

How were the streetcars "illegal" ? 🤔

Very cool and informative video!

I lived in Denver for years, per a mile Denver light rail has the most expensive far

Teenagers roaming around malls without parents wouldn't even be an issue if they weren't the obnoxious punks that they are.

There is access to the underground near old town.

you seem anti car. Why is that?

Thanks for your research. I have one correction. Jacks’s last name is NEEly not Nelly

The System is Fine the People have failed ! I lived there for 35 years .

Cool! I live in L.A. but saw an advertisement for Mahler's 4th Symphony at this venue. I was surprised that Mahler was even a thing in Knoxville! Anyway, very nice!

I'll always have fond memories of the Tennessee Theater. I'm glad that it is still part of Knoxville.

I live in Sevierville and when I go to Knoxville for football games or for shopping ( or something, idk) I always see it. Also I thought the gateway to the smokies is Gatlinburg? Knoxville is close enough I guess.

Remember Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom

They dont want us to know that people actually got along. Divide and conquer. Across the entire planet, all societies shared similar architecture/ Amazingly detailed, gorgeous and detailed architecture. Research "Tartaria." You will find out that a "fire" conveniently happened in every city...a fire that was a perfect excuse to tear down and build new buildings. Every city...even though buildings were built of 18 inch thick stone. All second empire architecture was torn down and replaced with TVA type architecture

They have done this on purpose. The same thing happened in all the major cities. Look into "second empire architecture." It will freak you out if you do a true deep dive. It was a whole great reset way back then. There is a reason the newspapers didnt talk about it and intentionally led people away from it, and there is a reason that you cant find it when they did.

I’ve always wanted to go down there!

wow, crazy for the third most depressing city in the US

You do good work. I think it's terribly interesting for a local, such as myself. I guess I'm trying to say thanks for teaching me more about my home. You might consider expanding. Greeneville(Jonesborough), Oak Ridge, and Bean Station (oddly enough) have LOADS of interesting history. Just a thought

*farts*

Great episode. Ive long wondered how a town you literally walk thru in 20 minutes would need so much parking. The South in this country is so obsessed with the car. In most cities it really makes it difficult to walk or take public transpirtation for cities' live of the auto. Knoxville is a small and very walkable town. But they feel they need this parking. Great observation.

I'm confused -- are you saying that alley you walked back and forth through is part of the old underground level? I remember walking through that alley to get to Able Trade last summer. Seemed like it was just a normal alley.

Babies never ask questions anymore at work or else you will be killed!!!! Next time ask google or Siri 😂😂😂 Only lawyers and police officers are allowed to ask questions because it’s part of their job! Doctors do not ask personal questions anymore because some people are sensitive!!!! 😂😂😂 Fast people climb the ladder fast but don’t sacrifice speed over quality though! You don’t want to speed up when it’s snowing 😂😂😂

You posted my home without me knowing 😮

I read an article once about how the original inventor of the mall wound up hating it largely because America's car centric zoning killed the actual idea he put forward and just left the commercial aspects. So much stupid shit to fix in this country.

And trees! God, seeing you standing under the sun like that gave me a headache!

Chasing teens away from malls have been going for at least two decades. After being treated like that do you think they will shop there as an adult?

Hey I live near that bridge! Also can confirm highway 129 is dangerous and the worst.

Thanks for the video!

That bridge looks pretty awesome. Though one change, I would have the cars climb up stairs to go over the pedestrians.

Great video! It's really cool that u do subtitles

This channel is sooooo underrated!!!

Thanks for taking action to correct an error of society!
