Any shops in the Knoxville/Gatlinburg area?

Will be in that part of the country in a few weeks. Wondering if there are any good shops that way. Thanks.

I live in Nashville, about two hours west of Knoxville. Unfortunately, if you don't collect memorabilia of the late great Dale Sr. any shop within a 200 mile radius is a joke.
BUT!!!!
Gatlingburg is loaded with Antique stores which is a plus. Antique stores are my favorite. 80% of them overprice their junk, but the other 20% are loaded with deals. (ie. exhibits tossed in with old post cards, sports cabinet photos for a dollar, cheap old trophies and equipment, nice cigarette packs for display.)

Good luck and have a good time.

It was Gatlinburg in mid July, and I'd just hit town and my throat was dry...

I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."


Well done Peter. First thing I thought when I saw this post yesterday.

And the lyrics are by?

Shel Silverstein?

I have to admit that I never knew that was a Shel Silverstein song until you prompted me to look.

I will add him to the list of unlikely Top 40 songwriters that includes Paul Schafer and Chuck Barris.
