What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail
Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio
The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion.

Inside KUB’s 100-Year-Old Water Castle
There’s a rather magnificent brick fortress on Riverside Drive that looks like UT’s iconic Ayres Hall’s slightly more industrial cousin. With its Gothic windows and imposing towers, it has the general appearance of a place where someone might be imprisoned for treason or, at the very least, locked away to finish a dissertation. But in fact, it’s where your drinking water comes from.
