text: But today Knoxville is being recognized for its commercial growth. Tearsa Smith, a news anchor for ABC affiliate WATE–TV 6 News, points to the new convention center, Turkey Creek shopping center, and the $25 million restoration of the Tennessee Theatre as indicators of Knoxville's development. A $2.5 million business incubator center under construction at the University of Tennessee is one of three high-tech support projects that will reinforce Knoxville's reputation as Innovation Valley. And the city is becoming a burgeoning media hub with several production companies that support cable TV producer Scripps Networks, which is headquartered there. The world's largest motion picture exhibitor, Regal Entertainment Group, and processed foods producer Bush Brothers & Co. are also based in this modern Appalachian city. And ExpansionManagement.com has Knoxville on its 2007 list of 50 Hottest Cities for Expanding Companies.
  Four Points by Sheraton Knoxville Cumberland House Hotel (1109 White Ave., 865-971-4663) is centrally located in the Fort Sanders Historic District and steps from the Knoxville Convention Center and the University of Tennessee. It has the contemporary décor and polish of a swank boutique hotel.
  It's tradition at Pasta Trio (119 South Central St., 865-540-3970) to bring a bottle of wine for your dinner, sign it, and leave the empty bottle for the unusual decorative collection that adorns this relaxed eatery. Entrées like the Cajun pasta, which Smith says "is extremely spicy," are priced mid-range at $20.
