Knoxville sits on the Tennessee River in East Tennessee, a university city with a walkable downtown and the Smoky Mountains an easy drive away. The University of Tennessee gives the city its orange Saturdays and a lively campus, while Market Square and Gay Street offer restaurants, theaters, and street festivals in restored brick buildings. The Sunsphere, a gold glass tower left from the 1982 World's Fair, still rises over the city and gives visitors a view across the river valley. The Tennessee Theatre, a 1920s movie palace, anchors downtown with concerts and classic films.
