The Pols Hood View

Downtown, I love where I live.



Home Sweet Home

Yes the building has it's quirks and Henley street can be loud at time, but that is a small price for the benefits returned.

I live in the Financial/ Court district close to the corner of Henley and W. Hill Ave. across from Lord Lindsay and overlooking the river. The river is probably the biggest selling point of where I live. Every morning I wake up to the sights and sounds of life on the water. Barges, rowers, the Vol Navy it is all part and parcel to my everyday existence and it is always changing.



From my back porch I can see Neyland Stadium (yes that is a feature not a bug for me)and game-days are always entertaining as we are right in the middle of everything. What I love most though is the dynamic nature of my corner of town. Lord Lindsay is now in new ownership and will soon reopen as something though I'm not sure shat. Brian Pittman has been working hard on his two houses and they are now two gems in downtown housing.

Walk three blocks and I am at the Y, the library, or the Bistro at the Bijou and beyond that the rest of downtown. I have the luxury of living close enough to walk everywhere, but with the benefit to being set apart just enough to have peace on those crazy downtown nights.

I didn't even begin to tell you all about the Medical arts building, the history of the post office, the Henley street bridge redo, the story of my building, my love for the JFG sign, and the hundreds of other things about these few blocks that make me glad to call it home.
