In 1974 Walter Cronkite designated Knoxville as the "Streaking Capital of the World." It was in the spring of that year that an estimated 5,000 people on Cumberland Avenue took their clothes off... stripping on the "strip".



Thats not why it is called the strip. Tuscaloosa has one Las Vegas has one Tallahassee has one and those are the ones I know of

That is why it is called the strip, I find it hilarious that you think you know more about a town you've never been to than people who live/lived there.


Come on man, you're better than this.

Oh yes it is. Before then it was just Cumberland Avenue. A lot of visitors and transplants refer to it by its proper name of Cumberland Ave. There's no advertising that this is called the strip - it's just known to those of us affiliated and/or familiar with UT and Knoxville.

You won't find it on any map or advert like in your links.
