| My (Current) Dream |
Many of you know of my dream to open a fitness facility in Seymour or South Knoxville (Wouldn't the new South Grove development be a great place for a gym?). But, I don't have $1 million in capital. I also understand that the fitness business is unpredictable.
So, here's my new dream. However, be prepared for it to change tomorrow.
 The African-American or Black community has no personality or, at least, has lost its identity. When I think of the Mexican community, I think of big families, great restaurants and hard workers. The Asian people have great restaurants and a very rich culture. You can travel around East Tennessee and experience the many great restaurants with Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese or European influence. But what about the African community?
Could we not open a P. F. Chang-style restaurant that serves soul food? I guess you could argue that Shoney's is close (Just kidding). But, I'd like to see a blues-playing, barbecue-and-greens-serving, culture-rich restaurant on Magnolia -- the type of place that you take clients during the weekday and take the family on Friday night.
If that dream is too far-fetched, how about a Popeye's Chicken? Tell me you can't get a grant to open one on the East Side. And I believe Popeye's would be popular enough to open in South Knoxville and Kingston Pike. And then I could fulfill a new dream of having a Maybach with the license plate: "Pop I".
Uh-oh, here comes another dream. Gotta go. |
