Could you list your top 10 or top however many...for things to do in & around Knoxville?

Although there's an awful lot to do outside of Knoxville, the city itself has plenty to keep you busy.

1. The Knoxville Zoo

2. The Star of Knoxville riverboat. Scenic tours or dinner cruises

3. Mast General Store opened recently downtown. I haven't made it down there yet, but it's tops on my list of Things to Get To.

4. Ijams Nature Center.

5. The Dogwood Festival. We missed this by a couple of weeks when we moved here and it sounds great. Next spring.....

6. Market Square and the downtown area are a great place to wander around for the day.

7. If you're a shopper, Turkey Creek has too much to list here. A stop at Mimi's Cafe for breakfast or lunch is not to be missed.

8. More greenways and parks than you can shake a stick at. Leash up the dog and start walking!
