Community Meeting Tomorrow to Address Youth Concerns Three Knoxville citizens are asking residents and friends of East Knoxville, Mechanicsville, Lonsdale, Beaumont and Western Heights to attend a “Saving Our Community” meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday, Dec. 9, to address concerns about young people in the community. The meeting will run from 7-9 p.m. at Vine Middle Magnet School, 1807 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. The three organizers are Rev. Sanford Miller, pastor of New Salem Baptist Church; Maurice Clark, a coach of community youth sports teams; and Rick Staples, chair of the mentorship committee of One Hundred Black Men of Knoxville. Clark is also founder of One Nation by Conviction, a social justice organization that advocates against the disparity in drug sentencing laws. Miller, Clark and Staples are seeking ideas and inspiration for working more effectively with young people who, despite efforts by community members, are still turning to violence and crime. Recent suicides and attempted suicides by young people have prompted this meeting, Staples said. “This burdens my heart,” Staples said.

Total Driving Distance = 22.6 miles 1. HENLEY STREET BRIDGE Mileage starts as you exit the the south side of the bridge Henley Bridge, also known as the Henley Street Bridge, and the George Dempster Bridge, was completed in 1931 as a city-sponsored project. First envisioned in 1927, and partly guided by then-City Manager George Dempster—not long before he invented the famous Dumpster--it is considered one of Knoxville's great architectural achievements. Its upper platform was rebuilt, but the concrete piers and arches are original. 2. CHAPMAN HIGHWAY TO MARYVILLE PIKE starts at Chapman at W. Blount Ave. Chapman Highway was built in the early 1930s, expressly to connect Knoxville (and, via the Dixie and Lee Highways, the rest of America) more directly to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Chapman Highway is named for Col. David Chapman (1876-1944), pharmaceutical executive, Spanish-American War veteran, and hiker/conservationist who became known as the Father of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In his later years, he lived on South Knoxville's Topside Drive. Before Chapman Highway, the main routes south were narrow, meandering Sevierville Pike, on the east side, and rural Maryville Pike on the west side. Chapman went between the two routes. It takes a southerly course out of Knoxville, but eventually bends to the east to enter Sevierville as Highway 441.. In 1940, a presidential motorcade carried Franklin D.
