Again, "New life ahead for Standard Knitting Mill."

"...the new baseball stadium is sparking growth in the underdeveloped east side of Knoxville, creating opportunities for housing, businesses and community engagement.

“The redevelopment at the mill site will transform it into a mixed-use destination featuring residential lofts, boutique retail, dining and office spaces” – all within walking distance of the new stadium."

I love how Sandra adds the historic information about the site. Quite fascinating. 3,000 employees, 3 shifts, making t-shirts and underwear. "Built in 1900, the Standard Knitting Mill was once the largest textile mill of its kind, producing millions of garments annually and earning Knoxville the title ‘Underwear Capital of the World."
