cereal port

After the Einstein Simplified show on Tuesday night, my wife and I left the delightfully smoke-free Patrick Sullivan's and started to cross Jackson Avenue. Halfway across the street I remembered a couple of blog entries I had read about the new cereal bar in town. We turned left on the sidewalk and walked a few doors down to The Knoxville Pearl, which is named after a type of tea. The sugary cereals are all-you-can-eat. The more grown up cereals are sold by the cup. The toppings that are offered might make you think you're ordering ice cream instead of cereal. I remember seeing some crushed up candy bars and Oreo cookies. The nostalgic decor brings back memories of eating cereal and watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. Ironically, the Knoxville Pearl is not open on Saturday mornings. Well, unless you count the fact that they stay open until 3:00 a.m. on weekends.
