The Inferno Drive-In. Standard Souvenirs.

Despite Gunther’s blatant insult, tourism in Knoxville continued to grow, even as the rest of the country was reporting a decline. In 1954, Knoxville reported its biggest numbers up to then of tourist trade. That year, 1,326,611 out-of-state tourists came through the area, while 1,200,268 Tennesseans from across the state visited. The majority of tourist dollars were spent on food, with total food spending at $9,717,956.

Gunther’s unpleasant remarks also prompted the Knoxville Garden Club to establish the Dogwood Driving Trails in 1955. There are now trails in all parts of the city, and our Dogwood Arts Festival hosts arts and cultural events all through the month of April, encouraging folks to come and enjoy the beauty of Knoxville.
