Margie Ison has passed away. Such sad news for east Tennessee. Everyone loved her!
She worked at WBIR from 1979 to 1995. Did any of you get to meet her? I never got to, but always adored her.

Margie's obituary
It's amazing to watch the video and see how much TV weather broadcasting has changed since Margie was on the air.

Remember the days before the Cinebarre? The era when built-in planters and trees lined the mall's walkways? Take a deeper look at West Town's past.

Very good read. It would have been nice if the reporter had continued the article on past the 70's, though. There is a lot more history of West Town, but it can be found elsewhere.
I had forgotten that "three birds" logo for West Town:
I wish Simon had continued their ownership and management of East Towne Mall and not sold it off into the ruinous hands of the subsequent owners.

Dunno if this has been posted in some form before, but I saw this link to some great historical maps of the Knoxville area and figured I'd share.

I liked the Orange Bowl. Pizza by the slice.
West Town didn’t have a food court initially. That space was Frankenberger’s and surface parking.
