Default Rothchilds

Since this will be the first time for this place I thought I would help out and post pics on the location. It's not to difficult to get to and there are few stoplights. A word of caution though - there are speedbumps throughout the parking lot.
Although they are somewhat "civilized" I would be concerned if your car is dropped and has a front spoiler. There is a road that runs behind Rothchilds (noted as "A" on the second pic) that will let those who are concerned about this to park in the rear without worrying about the bumps.

The first pic shows how to get to I40 from the Jameson Inn (red star).
Going towards Knoxville on 129 take the 140 connector (Pellissippi Parkway) to interstate 40.
Once on I40 (#1) (going towards Knoxville) you will need to take the second exit (#2) to Bridgewater Road (#3). Take a right on on Kingston Pike (#4) and the entrance to Rothchilds (B) is mere moments away. There are strip malls on both sides of the entrance to Rothchilds (#6). You will know its close when you pass Grayson's Pontiac (#5).


Hope this helps.

Wow, this is incredibly helpful Robin, thank you! Man, for every event, Robin has been able to get into his handy-dandy helicopter and snap some "survellience" photos. Betcha the RX-8 folsk don't have this level of planning!

Seriously, thank you Sir for taking the time to survey the property and give detailed instructions. I'll be sure to include this with the Event Packet.
