I can go into McKay's and spend an entire afternoon just browsing around. The variety is amazing. You can find books, CDs, DVDs, videos, you name it. I love that most of the items are priced very low and so much more afforadable than "brand new" items. I also like that I can "recycle" my books there. When I take items to sell, I love trading them because you get more when you take a credit and you feel like you are turning old books into new ones. I agree that the staff has never seemed overly helpful. They always seem busy and never seem to take the time to stop and help. But I still enjoy shopping there.

The Ripley's Aquarium has some really neat sea creatures in it's gigantic tank. It's amazing to walk thru the tunnels and feel like you are swimming under the sharks and other sea creatures. We were lucky enough to see some divers working with the animals. And I liked the "people mover" because it kept the traffic flowing in that crowded area. However, I felt like we didn't get a lot of variety. You basically look at the same tank the entire time you are touring the aquarium. I'd like to see more animals and less "things" like the pirate display.

Dollywood's Splash Country offers some variety to Pigeon Forge. The prices are affordable when you compare them to other large water parks. I was very pleased to find how clean the locker areas and restrooms are. I also found all the pool areas clean, which is a big plus to me. The kid's area was amazing. Lots of fun things for the little ones and lots of places for mom and dad to watch and supervise. The family ride was the best! You can pile five people in one large raft and zoom down the tube. I did find the food and drink to be a bit overpriced, but this seems to be the norm at most large amusement parks.

Want to take a trip back in time? Head down to the waterfront downtown one weekend afternoon and ride the Three Rivers Rambler. The tickets were a bit higher than I expected for such a short train ride, but they were worth it. We boarded the train and were off to see a side of Knoxville you'll never see unless you are on this train. Follow the river for several miles as the guides explain where you are and what you are viewing. Ride ends where the Tennessee, French Broad and Holston Rivers meet. What a gorgeous spot. Be sure to enjoy an RC Cola and Moon Pie on your trip. No train ride in the south could be complete without these two!

Jenn at The Permanent Solution has been cutting my hair for years. I'm thrilled with the cuts she gives me and you can't beat the price. She also cuts my toddler's hair, which is long and curly. Anyone who can cut the long and curly hair of a two year old is a saint in my book! The salon isn't the newest in town and doesn't have fancy things on the wall and funky music playing. But I like the homey feel and I love the people!

The Melting Pot is one of the best "special occasion" restaurants I have ever been to. It is our only destination if we have something to celebrate. The staff is always very pleasent and helpful. They spend a lot of time at your table preparing your fondue, so we you really get to talk with them a lot. The cheese fondue is amazing and really kicks off your meal. So don't skip this part. We love the variety of sauces and dips that come with the main dish, they really make the meal. And who could pass up chocolate? You can even create your own chocolate fondue! YUM! We always share the main course so that we can enjoy all the other courses. My husband is a big eater, but we still have enough sharing the main course!

Fort Sanders Health and Fitness Center is the best gym in Knoxville. I've been a member of four gyms and this is by far the best. The equipment is always new, well maintained and clean. I love that you can change the channels on the televisions if no one is watching and watch what you want. The indoor track is short, but awsome if you need to get in a quick run. The classes are amazing. The teachers are very well prepared and I loved the variety of classes offered. The indoor and outdoor pool are always clean and well maintained. The locker rooms are so clean, it's hard to believe they are locker rooms. If I could afford it, I'd still be a member there. I've never belonged to another gym that even came close to this quality!

I had heard wonderful things about one specific hair stylist at Belleza. People raved about her haircuts. So I sucked it up and made an appointment. I spend 10 minutes explaining to her what I like for my hair and how much time I like to spend styling it, etc. I also told her what I do not like to see on my hair. She listened intently and then proceeded to cut my hair the way she wanted to cut it, ignoring some of the specific things I asked her not to do. It wasn't a great cut for me and I ended up going back to my regular stylist. Overall, I wasn't impressed.

We rented several things from All Occasions for our wedding. We did not have a lot of time to plan our summer wedding and I was worried that the things we needed would not be available to us. I was thrilled to find that All Occasions has so many items in stock, they had plenty for our wedding. None of the things I wanted were "gone." I liked that we were allowed to pick up and drop off our own items, so we saved lots of delivery charges. I'd use them again!

I saw Dr. Moreno for a throat problem. He immediately told me he did not want to operate on me. I was thrilled! And a bit shocked since most surgeons are ready to operate at the drop of a hat. He tried lots of other therapy before eventually resorting to operating. But it was his last resort, which was refreshing. Whenever I had tests done, it was always him who called to tell me, not a nurse or other staff. How nice to be able to speak to your doctor to ask questions. Sometimes the waiting room was full and the wait was long, but it was worth it.
