VS (Versus) was a woman operated business on Gay Street which opened a couple of months ago. It sported 2 xbox 360s, 2 playstation3s, 2 wiis, 5 iMacs, free wifi, a stage and party room. This was a game lounge/Internet cafe in a really cool building just down the street from Nama. (Two doors north of Harolds)
These kinds of businesses are cool in San Francisco and Boston but couldn't cut it in Knoxville. It did not help that block of Gay Street is being closed for 18 months to develop Underground Gay St. I'll be surprised if Nama survives.
I'd like to see businesses like VS thrive in downtown.
