around the intersection of Central and Jackson streets, he brought to the district a sense of place and orientation. After setting-up multiple partnerships with which he acquired some 9 properties as a critical mass he embarked on securing financing for his ventures. Simultaneously, he secured a long-term lease for the relocation of Hewgley's Music, a Knoxville institution specializing in the sale of musical instruments, as a vital anchor tenant for his flagship 40,000 s.f. mixed-use property at the NW corner of the intersection of Jackson and Central, naming it "Hewgley Park". Calandruccio teamed-up with builder, Benny Curl to undertake the renovation/preservation of the historic buildings for re-use, Curl's specialty as a builder. Curl also acquired and developed the pivotal corner opposite Hewgley Park as a restaurant he called Manhattan's - the former name of a former establishment at that location. Manhattan's became a thriving first-start gathering spot and Curl's construction crew worked doggedly on multiple builder restorations simultaneously as the district's popularity exploded. Calandruccio set-up and presided over the "Old City Neighborhood Association" as new businesses began to open. To improve overall infrastructure Calandruccio applied for and secured a $ 1.2m federal Urban Development Action Grant for the placement of overhead utility wires underground, new sidewalks, landscaping, and new outdoor lighting. With this focused vision, he was able to gain critical publicity for the bringing-in of other developers, tenants, and residents to the area, thus setting in motion the revitalization that stimulated the rebirth of Knoxville's Central Business District. Most noteworthy in addition to Hewgley's Music was Calandruccio's work with Ashley Capps in starting the now renowned "Ella Guru's" live music venue. Capps and Calandruccio's friendship had started over their love of music and together they set music as the focal theme of the Old City. Some of the other memorable initial new businesses included "Annie's Restaurant" by Annie Delisle (novelist Cormac McCarthy's ex-wife), Old City Mercantile, Kerby's Antiques, Sullivan's Saloon, and Java Coffee Shop.
