When I was out yesterday I noticed that Cumberland was completely closed at 11th. What detour is the trolley taking to get around that? Plus, for the first time in a quarter-century living here, I can hop on my bike at four in the morning and, ten minutes later, own a brand new pair of pants.
It is true that Walmart and Publix did not harm any current retail in Downtown. But, one has to consider that their presence will greatly affect future downtown retail possibilities. Will another pharmacy want to enter the downtown market even with the residential growth? A grocery retailer? Any such company would have to think about a downtown move long and hard. Art — I think the ship has sailed on having an electronics store, hardware store, etc. The whole model of commerce has changed drastically since the last time those things did exist downtown.
My colleague, Christi Branscom, and I rode the trolley to and from University Commons from downtown today and had a very healthy lunch at Publix. The experience was much as described by our neighbor Urban guy and remarked upon by our relative neighbor Leticia. The trolley was full each way with a diverse mix of riders. KAT is very aware of the timing issues. We are all hopeful that it will improve when the utility work on Cumberland at 11th is wrapped up.
There were a number of students shopping at Publix and Walmart. Many walked or biked. In fact I rode my bicycle to the complex last Sunday. Aside from a brownfield reclamation, one of our goals was to have an urban retail setting with structured parking and minimal environmental effects such as come from the usual expanse of asphalt when greenfields are used for shopping centers. In a related sustainability concern, we wanted as much walking and biking and public transit use as possible. Each trip by any off those modes means less traffic, fewer pollutants, and healthier living all around.
A related sustainability concern is that of reducing food deserts. This area was previously so designated. The Cumberland merchants were almost universally supportive of this project. There is very little competition to the shops there and, as Ian says, with downtown.
University Commons will help anchor the development of Cumberland Avenue. Finally, the economic activity, jobs for people in the city core, increased revenues to pay for services all over the city, are very heartening. Thanks again to Urban Guy for such an outstanding chronicling of so much important that takes place downtown. I am not sure if I would call Publix a downtown grocery but it is very accessible to downtown residents and visitors.
Great article with really good pictures. As a frugal shopper, I never shop Publix, even though it is very clean and no riff-raff shops there. It is beginning to sound like the best of New Orleans downtown. I am jealous out here in the suburbs, so what rentals are available in that area of the city?

Publix at University Commons, Knoxville, August Publix at University Commons, Knoxville, August Just as Publix was excellent for that other era in our life, I have to give it very high marks after my visit, yesterday. Kristen, Good point about the Trolley going to Three Rivers. In addition, Cullom said Wednesday that his group is working on a tract between Target and Thunderhead Road and a tract near the on-site lake. Cullom and Harrison are also spearheading a project on the old Fulton Bellows site near the University of Tennessee campus, which is slated to include a Publix and Walmart.
Cullom said that project could break ground in late October or early November. Get the new News Sentinel app. Posted: Aug. Best Lawyers.
