I lived in Knoxville in the 1950s. We lived off of Broadway on Hillcrest. It's a very narrow street (or was). Good memories!

Do you have to play this crappy song

With everything thats going on they don't wont to see or just don't care about it sad really and with everything that has happened no one has learned anything abd still missing it up no one teaches there kids anymore the right way to live life like we're supposed to put GOD out of everything and this list goes on with so much evil i see and now if yuns cant see it you probably wont until everything gets cut off then uou may wake up then chaos mark my words GOD is not going to be happy this round i see it coming just wish everyone else would wake up to it fond HIM while you still can

Grew up in Knoxville, I miss the way it looked in the 40 and 50s. Love these pictures. Thank you

We went backwards

..... I like the part where the Hebrews baught our history and tore it down

It's really sad what the Interstate Highway system did to the majority of American cities. They should have been routed around cities rather than straight through them. You can see in several of these the dense neighborhoods that were wiped out and are desolate hellscapes now.

I wished I could’ve lived back in the 20s 30s and 40s and I’ve been gone from this world today. Seems like back then was a much better time. Much better character architecture quality of people today not so much.

I grew up in Knoxville in the 70s. Glad to see that it's doing better than a lot of cities. Thanks for posting.

Looking for the car crash that took the life of my grandmother Jewell Evelyn Williams in 1950 L.A. county

My hometown ❤️

Everyone shopped downtown before West Town opened in 71, I rode many buses back then!

All the "now" pictures are ugly or perhaps my viewpoint is somehow flawed. I really liked the music, nice song list. I've never been to Knoxville but feel as though I have after reading McCarthy's Suttree.

3:51 you're about a block away from W. Jackson St. Lol. But at least you can still see it in the picture.

Amazing! Thanks for making this compilation!

Awesome vid passed by a lot of these places today🤘🤘🤙🤙👽👽

Bulldozed for the car

This city is beautiful ❤️

Oh yeahhh this video 🤌

Can you do middle TN and west Tn?

The airplane i watched it change so much over the years

That’s absolutely amazing to watch how much things have changed. Wow just wow.

It seems so sad. In the photos from the 20s and 40s, the streets seem so crowded and busy. By contrast, the modern photos of the same streets are so empty, they seem almost abandoned.

It's 2021 these streets do not look like this , Homeless , junkies, drug dealers have taken over downtown , south knox is a joke, nothing flourishes here anymore, they have built huge low income projects , within a year they will be run down! We call this progress ??? No it's communism , you can't throw money at homeless ppl! You have to show them how to make their own money !!! Socialism will never work! It's on the individuals to want a better life!!! Knoxville looks more like Memphis not a thriving city

6:20 that building is now for sale!

Now its all joggers.

❤

funny story, the pride parades are always on gay street

It's really sad, how much more bustling and crowded so many of these streets were back in the 20s and 30s compared to now

Some changes are good, but others are for the worse. It also seems that downtown was a lot busier then and not so much now.

Well done my friend,...Thank You!

The duck pond is very close to me, it looked so different in the 30s! I wish I could go back so I could explore Fountain City.

The worst thing that ever happened to Knoxville was the 1982 Worlds Fair. I use to love that scruffy little river town

I'm thankful that what remains of downtown is beautiful, but so much of it is gone. So sad. Imagine how many more businesses and restaurants would have been there if it were all still there. It seems nobody cared in the 1950s-70s.

I remember shopping the shops of downtown knoxville as a child in the early 80s just b4 east town mall made downtown a ghost town. We'd eat lunch at the food counter of the drugstore then continued our shopping at Zayres on Baxter Ave and Sears on Central, and I'll occasionally drive through those areas just to think of my mom and reminisce. Sadly, downtown's all bars for the materialized yuppies nowadays. I understand things change through time, but it saddens me to see theres no downtown shops any longer while the trendiness of snooty millenials take over.

It use to be A&P the White Stores then Food City.....

i love the old buildings. I wish every place had restored them all. Fabulous architecture.

Thank you for putting this together.

Nice musical assortment. It makes me sad that so much of those old,quaint buildings and streets had to give way to multi-lane highways. Sad about the old churches, too.

I'm a born and raised east tennessean, lived allot of other places to. But I always find myself coming back home. I'm a explorer at heart. So my conclusion is why our TN horror is wide spread is because of the lack of survivors. Just saying.

It brings back memories from when I was a child. How time, people and places change,, life was good in those days!! To much violence these days,, it's really a sad,, sad world we live in today!

Nice video! They really tore down some beautiful buildings...

Great video!!
