Sites to see

I know it has been a while since i posted a blog, but, that is the way things go. With papers, projects, tests, and finals due just around the corner, I seemed to run out of time to go take pictures.

However!
good news!
I managed to to take a few of campus and of Knoxville!
I had some requests for some of the "unsung spots" on campus, and honestly, I can tell you already, after two days of scoping out this will not be my only blog on the topic. There's enough places to climb off of the beaten track to last you your whole time here.
This spot is just a short walk from Presidential courtyard

In Between the University center and "The hill"
I have to admit, one warmer afternoon i thought this would 
be a good place to work on a paper, but it turns out its
a really good place to take a nap...

Around the backside of Ayres Hall, there is an open courtyard with some great places to sit. 
Despite the large number of people that have classes in Ayres, this area still stays
fairly quiet, and deserted! This spot is completely underrated.

The World's Fair Park!
Okay, okay, its not an "unsung" spot, Anyone who's ever been to 
Knoxville knows about it, and you'll find people at the park all of the time,
 but that doesn't detract from how great the place is.
They hold events at it all of the time. 
(and obviously the world fair is held here)
The pavilion on the left is an open stage, that anyone, at any time can jump on.

Andy Holt walkway
If you don't like the amphitheater here you'll like the McClung plaza just off of it, and if
 you don't like either of those, the walkway itself has open sections every 150 feet. And
if your soul is so deprived of any joy to the point you can't enjoy any of this, then...
well, i mean, theres hotlines for that sort of stuff, come on, I'm no psychiatrist.
BUT! anyways! back to this;
The walkway won the "keep Knoxville beautiful" award.
I know right? it almost makes you want to shout,
"Cool story bro! wanna tell it again??"



Well, This spot has no name...
But that doesn't change it!
I just want to point out that EVERY other bench on campus faces
 towards the walkway that it is on, however, someone came
along and flipped this one around, facing downtown.
for a good reason I'd say.
