The folks at the Big Picture blog had a story about a cool new interactive map from Forbes showing migration trends within the United States and you know I had to play with it for a moment.
The map provides some interesting data. Red lines show county-to-county moves with a net loss of population for Knox County, while black lines show moves with a net gain for Knox County. Here’s what Knox County’s overall migration patterns looked like based on 2008 data:
I’ll take a look at what this might mean and how it compares to other Tennessee metro areas after the jump.

I’m a few days late in posting about this, but Coury Turcyzn posts a photo on his Metropulse blog, the Daily Pulse, of what looks to be a new design for the Cradle of Country Music Walking Tour markers in downtown.
I will say that the markers I originally wrote for the tour 10 years ago probably had their fair share of typos in them, but they also had more words. When one trims a marker text down from a couple of paragraphs to only nine words it’s harder to disguise the mistakes.
The new design looks interesting, however. I plan to send an e-mail out to some folks in the city to see if there’s a planned roll-out of more of these. In the wake of various construction and renovation projects downtown, several of the markers on the tour have been removed. It would be nice to have the tour relaunched with new markers.
