Reply #3: Move to Old North Knoxville or Fountain City

[Kalyke]

For a couple of reasons... they're near UT AND they're the most liberal areas of the city. I know because I live in Fountain City. We have two Democratic county commissioners, a Democratic state House member, a Democratic city councilman and a Democratic school board member (the last two don't run partisan, but we know their political afflictions).

Keep in mind, however, that Knoxville doesn't have much public transportation. The buses run a very abbreviated schedule - but they do run from Old North Knoxville and Fountain City. We're really NOT a "big city," either - we just have big city traffic because our roads are always under construction. :)

If you'll IM me, I'll be happy to put you in touch with my realtor who probably can find you a place to rent - or point you in the right direction. She primarily works in the North end of town.
