And again, there are talks that involve
the possible sale/future use of the Andrew Johnson Building.
From what I understand, Knox County
Mayor Tim Burchett, schools superintendent Jim McIntyre and school
board Chairwoman Karen Carson met the week before last to talk about
the old hotel and what to do with it.
The mayor confirmed the meetings, but
was pretty tight-lipped after that.
“It's the same stuff we've been
talking about for years,” he said. “You know, tearing it down and
putting solar panels up and having a solar community.”
Heh.
Burchett in the past has said that he
wouldn't mind selling the S. Gay Street building, if the county can
get a good deal for it, and the school system can move its
administrative offices elsewhere.
His predecessor Mike Ragsdale also
proposed a similar plan but nothing ever happened.
We'll see.

But Richard Nixon stayed there once. Isn't there anything we can do to insure his memory lives on?
