Knoxville in the NYT
So which of you blabbers has ever called Knoxville "the couch?"
I've lived here since 1982, was here before that from 1970-1975, and have visited here all my life. I was also born here, but can't claim to remember the 7 months before we moved away. New one on me. Update: Sorry, in spite of looking for it, I missed the other thread on this topic. But I'm still curious about the "couch" thing. Last edited by binR Bishop; 06-06-2008 at 03:36 PM. Reason: because I am apparently blind |

I think lots of cities refer to themselves as "Austin without the hype."
Just a minute ago, a coworker told me an old boyfriend of hers had indeed frequently referred to Knoxville as "the couch."

I have been comparing Knoxville to a big comfy pillow for a while now. I could see people calling it a couch.
