As a Knoxville relocation specialist we have the pleasure of working with many out of town Buyers. Buyers who have never visited Knoxville, TN before are often confused and in awe of one of Knoxville's best known landmarks- the Knoxville Sunsphere. However, the lack of knowledge about the Knoxville Sunsphere is not just with out of towners, as many local residents have no idea what it is as well.
So what exactly is the Sunsphere?
The Sunsphere is a 266 feet tall steel tower that contains a 75 foot diameter globe with gold colored glass that was designed for the 1982 World's Fair that was held in Knoxville TN.
So what is inside the Sunsphere?
The interior (golden globe portion) of the sunsphere contains 5 levels. During the 1982 World's Fair there was a restaurant for visitors to enjoy a 360 panoramic view of Knoxville- including great views of the river and Great Smoky Mountains. Currently, on the 4th floor of the sunsphere is home to a 360 observation deck/museum that has great views of Knoxville and is FREE! On 5th floor is a quaint little bar/ light restaurant that is smoke free and offers great priced beverages and homemade fresh foods. This area can also be rented out for events and is available for catering as well. The other remaining floors are homes to 
area businesses.
Where is the Sunsphere?
The sunsphere is located on the Old World's Fair Park which now includes the Knoxville Convention Center, the Knoxville Symphony Outdoor Amphitheater, Veterans Memorial, World's Fair Sprinkler Park, duck pond and fountains, the Knoxville Museum of Art, Fort Kid, and the new World's Fair Park Playground (just opened July 8, 2009).
So next time you are looking for things to do in Knoxville TN head on down to the World's Fair Park and check out some of the fun and free things that Knoxville has to offer.
After visiting and playing at the World's Fair Park head over to Market Square which is filled with even more things to do in Knoxville Tn including some great places to eat.

If you are looking for fun things to do in Knoxville TN how about paying a visit to the Downtown Knoxville area. Over the past couple of years the City of Knoxville has done quite a bit to revitalize the Downtown Knoxville area. Many of the old buildings have been converted into stylish downtown residential areas causing more and more businesses to move downtown as well.
One of my personal favorite hot spots is Market Square. Market square, located in the center of Downtown Knoxville (runs from Wall Avenue to Union Avenue and located directly behind Gay Street) is closed off to traffic and contains a myriad of quaint boutiques and shops including Bliss and Earth to Old City as well as a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars including- Oodles Uncorked, Tomato Head, Shonos', Koi Asian Bistro, La Costa, and the Preservation Pub just to name a few.
Market Square is named after the old Market House which was located in the center of the existing square. The Market House served as a place for local farmers to gather to sell and trade their goods. The bell from the old Market House is located at the far Southern portion of Market Square next to the TN Women’s' Sufferage Monument.
Market Square offers lots of seasonal activities and events such as: Holiday on Ice- ice skating on the Square, Christmas in the City, Rossini Festival, Sundown in the City, Autumn on the Square, Market Square Film Festival, Farmer's Market, water play fountains, as well as a variety of music festivals and art events such as Shakespeare on the Square.
Market Square in Knoxville TN is a great place to come both day (meter and paid garage parking, or ride the trolley) and night (free parking after 6 in all downtown area garages) and offers a wonderful location to watch events, shop, eat, or just take your dog for a walk.
Downtown Knoxville is a great place to work, visit, play, and live. Instantly search all for all homes and condos for sale in Downtown Knoxville at www.MyKnoxvilleHomeSearch.com.

As the summer temperature rise and the humidity in many areas increase, home owners are forced to crank up the air conditioner. If your HVAC unit has not been regularly serviced and running efficiently it could be robbing you blind. A dirty HVAC air filter can greatly decrease the energy efficiency of your unit and cost you lots of unnecessary money. In addition a dirty air filter can also lead to a decline in your indoor air quality and cause you to breath in potentially unhealthy air.
If you are like most homeowners, you have no idea how to change the HVAC unit air filter (or maybe you don't even know you had one) let alone monitor it. For a minimal change (about $2.50 online at sites such as www.GreenFeet.com) you can attach a small plastic whistle onto your furnace and it will blow the whistle when it is time to change your air filter. The Air Filter Whistle simply screws onto the air filter and as dirt and debris builds up it causes an increase in pressure causing the whistle to blow.
If you live the TVA region you can even get FREE Air Filter Whistle along with other cool (and FREE!) energy saving devices TVA Free Energy Conservation kit.

About Keller Williams Realty Team McIn-Kowksi- Knoxville's Green Team
Our names are Christine McInerney and Jennifer Halinkowski. We are the Keller Williams Realty Knoxville real estate team of McIn-Kowski. Many people have a negative connotation when they think of Real Estate agents. We offer a fresh and energic perspective and work hard for our clients. We do not drive fancy cars and we do not use slick talking tactics to belittle and confuse our clients. We DO NOT have 30 years of experience behind us, meaning that we have not picked up bad habits and use old, worn out sales techniques. We are modern, focused, highly educated, intelligent and down to earth. Best of all when you enlist Team McIn-Kowski you get TWO full time REALTORS(R) catering to ALL of your Real Estate needs!!
We offer free Buyer agent services and are Knoxville Relocation Specialists. If you have a question about the Knoxville area contact us and if we do not personally know the answer we can get you in contact with sources that do. Call us to get started with your home search: 865-237-5289.
If you need to sell your house, definately interview us. We commit ourselves to diligent research to get our clients homes in front of the most buyers possible. By the way, these buyers are not in newspapers and home magazines. If you are considering hiring a family member or friend without interviewing them for the job because you want to "do them a favor" you may be making a huge financial mistake. To us, a seller should go with the most qualified agent they see fit to get their house sold, even if it means hurting a loved one's feelings. This is probably your largest financial investment and you can't afford to put it in the hands of someone who will simply throw a sign in the yard and put your house on the MLS.
We will offer you a menu of services so that you can build your own plan! We offer an unconditional listing agreement that you can cancel at anytime with no fees to you. We only get paid when you get paid. At closing.
We promise to talk to you personally during the listing period at least once a week with updates. We also promise to prepare a new market analysis and meet with you to talk about recent sales and closings every 4-5 weeks. We promise to answer our phone when you call or return your call within 30 minutes Mon-Sun 8am-8pm. Try it! Christine 865-237-5289 or Jennifer 865-621-3658
