"Knoxville is experimenting with making a part of Gay Street more pedestrian-friendly, shutting down a popular part of the road to cars and effectively making it a walkable area similar to Market Square.
A section of Gay Street from Wall Avenue to Union Avenue will be closed from 7 p.m. through 4 a.m. during four weekends in November and December."
A party zone several times a month. What a great idea!
