Nomadic Repairs

Sometimes you realize you have to get a gift for someone and you have no time to find one, let alone wrap it and make it look like you actually put some thought into it. That's where Earth to Old City comes to your rescue. They make gift-buying easy as they offer a free year-round gift wrapping service. But the gift that will eventually get wrapped is impressive, too, as the store features spectacular photographic art that can be custom framed on-site, as well. There's also a great selection of one-of-a-kind gift items that includes jewelry, books, toys, posters and items for the home and garden.

Fountain Lanes Strike and Spare Family Bowling is a great place to get the family together and enjoy some fun in a very impressive entertainment facility. Get your game on when you let the ball roll down one of the 36 synthetic lanes. A digital scoring system, lots of choices at the full-service grill and a great drink menu all ensure that you'll enjoy every one of your frames! There's also an impressively-stocked pro shop and an arcade for the kids, too!

Peek into what life was like Appalachian style when you visit the Museum of Appalachia. More than just a museum, this Appalachian mountain village brings history to life over its impressive 70 acres. Highlights include a chapel, barns, cabins, and even a schoolhouse. You'll also see artifacts and other items like handcrafted instruments that were used to accomplish everyday tasks that we take for granted. Located less than a half hour from Knoxville, this historical excursion is worth the drive.
