It’s a pic. Stokely Management Center and Glocker are out of the frame to the right and Neyland Stadium is behind it but is at a lower elevation. There are some buildings on The Hill visible to the left.Now I recognize the top picture. But it's funny how rarely I saw it from Cumberland Ave (the second pic.) Is that actually a photo, or just an architectural rendering? There ought to be buidings visible behind it, right?
Isn't that in the bookstore itself? Down in the basement (I'm really hazy here). I remember aisles and aisles of textbooks, but a cluster of a little bit of everything around the main checkout area.I can’t place and don’t recognize the little store. But it’s an old picture - look at the cash register. It’s not at all how I remember the spot just inside the front doors facing Cumberland.

Buying books, and trying to score used but decent books was a real battle!
Is the building that used to be Flamingos on the Strip still standing? I saw DMB, Hootie, Toadies, Wallflowers, and Jackopierce there. To this day Jackopierce is my favorite band. Spent many evenings there with my future wife.
Thanks. Need to get down there before it's demolished.1836 Cumberland Avenue (the red marker) hasn’t been sold to the out of state developers. Yet.

I don't know when everyone was at UT. I was there multiple eons ago, and it looked like this, cash registers and all. I wrote checks for pretty much everything. I'd have to pay several hundred dollars for books each semester, which blew my mind. No computers, of course, and we registered for classes using punch cards.Where would the steps be coming down from the upper level? Or is that the upper level? The Phil Fulmer Way street level/entrance with Smokey’s?
I deduce that you did not have a class that required writing code, creating punch cards, and feeding these into the IBM 360. Booking lab time to make punch cards and feed the beast was a PITA.
