Found Treasurer
Whenever and wherever I travel, I look for a local bookstore. On this recent trip to Knoxville I was staying between Knoxville and Maryville TN. This store is a short drive from the Knoxville airport. This store is full of used, vintage, hardback, paperback, it is catorigorized by handwritten notes with arrows pointing to the appropriate shelves — Be warned though, if you are expecting everything to perfectly in order this is not the place for you — however if you are looking to browse a store at a leisurely pace hunting for that special book you didn’t even know you wanted until you find it — kind of like looking for treasurers in your grandmother’s attic — this is definitely the place for you. I came out with some wonderful older music pieces and a book about Bob Dylan. It was wonderful and I will be back anytime I am in the area. There is also a small cafe that sent out amazing smells I will definitely build in time for that next trip.

Wonderful Cafe
My wife enjoys their chicken salad they sell at her work so we tried the cafe today. They have soups, sandwiches, salads, homemade desserts & coffee drinks. I had the Wrights Bros sandwich (rosemary bread, chicken, pesto, bacon, melted Swiss) with chips and my wife had the chicken salad sandwich with veggie straws. Both were fresh & delicious. The bookstore customers made the experience all the more pleasant with their conversation and the staff was wonderful. We'll be back!
