Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Center needs plotter
Friday, January 15th, 2010Several years ago Frank Sparkman was generous enough to donate a used plotter to the Design Center, however, after years of great service this fine machine has now reached the end of it’s beneficial life, and is longer supported by Hewlett Packard. A comparable model is around $4,000…. ha, that ain’t gonna happen.
If your firm, or another firm you might be aware of would like to donate a plotter (or $4,000) we would be extremely appreciative.
Hooray for the Food Co-op
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Three Rivers Market, a food co-op that specializes in organic and local foods has found a much larger home, but remains with-in the inner city. Financial assistance from the City of Knoxville Community Development Department, and CapitalMark Bank and Trust, proved to be a great catalyst in purchasing the Merita Bakery building on North Center. Along with remodeling for a sit down cafe, the co-op will increase their retail space three and a half times, going from 2,000 to 7,000sf. The Happy Holler corridor is already a focus of the city and local developers, this will surley be another great addition for the area. Thank you food co-op. See the full story by Josh Flory in the KNS Wednesday edition.
