Baker Federal Courthouse downtown was originally built for the Whittle Communications company. When Whittle went out of business, the Feds took over this neo-Georgian building. The tower with cupola is now a familiar part of the downtown skyline.Knoxville Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13528055515741187585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105357978224403302.post-19762848121190512052009-06-03T14:58:00.007-04:002009-06-03T15:06:52.121-04:00Debord Falls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBMZ4u83Lvhy33xjcfInhuaPSNCSOTgxBoxRJrhk4k43mAUxM8LyweNyoaIlCpqFmdXWaOKo7wZK1ogqZCKJnN4LLO4n_bWbRvzFN4Qa0w5QBywKv5Kh6QmWitn1TBVdvApAAMl5NgPOU/s1600-h/DSCF4516.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343178020933492178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBMZ4u83Lvhy33xjcfInhuaPSNCSOTgxBoxRJrhk4k43mAUxM8LyweNyoaIlCpqFmdXWaOKo7wZK1ogqZCKJnN4LLO4n_bWbRvzFN4Qa0w5QBywKv5Kh6QmWitn1TBVdvApAAMl5NgPOU/s400/DSCF4516.JPG" border="0" /></a> Honestly, sometimes a Knoxville Girl just needs a break from city life. So today I'm offering a photo from one of my recent hikes at Frozen Head State Park, which lies in Morgan County, just a bit northwest of Knoxville. This is Debord Falls, an easy quarter mile walk from the Emory Gap trailhead.Knoxville Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13528055515741187585noreply@blogger.com4
