Shelby Street Bridge



Nashville Skyline

When traveling, there is always that want for "the perfect photo" from your trip. The one that you can frame and it just say everything in a glance.

When visiting Nashville, look no further than the Shelby Street Bridge. It's a pedestrian-only bridge that spans the Cumberland River right at downtown. Half-way across the bridge, there is an area in which you can get "that ...

Chappy's on Church on Father's Day batting .300....


My dear sweet wife of many years decided to take to Chappy's on Church for Father's Day. Chappy's on Church says that they "...specialize in New Orleans Creole cuisine and also serves steaks, veal, duck, quail, chicken, fish, shellfish, and oysters." Well they try, (full disclosure, this writer lived in New Orleans for about 20 years) but they don't quite deliver. Chappy's is very much a tourist place or similar ...

I don't care what you call it, it's Fan Fair to me.


Today starts the 2007 CMA version of Fan Fair. And this Fan Fair is the 15th for this humble writer. Having moved from New Orleans, my first Fan Fair was a bit of culture shock (it was 1992) then Fan Fair was held at the Tennessee State Fair Grounds (sort of appropriate) and Country Music was in one of it's largest growth spurts. The big new "Star" in Country Music, ...

Exploring Hillsboro Village


For over 75 years, The Belcourt Theatre has provided a space for premiere entertainment in the heart of Nashville's Hillsboro Village."

I wasn't there when the place opened in 1925 as the Hillsboro Theatre but according to the locals the Belcourt Theater has been a happening place, ever since. Even one of Nashville's time honored traditions the Grand Ole ...

Hillsboro Village coolest place in Nashville?


Hillsoboro Village is the best unkept secret of Nashville. The approximately six square block area has Cafes, Coffee shops, Microbrewery, Sports Bars, Clothing Stores, Furniture Stores and even the obligatory Art Film Theater. The Gulch or East Nashville (other trendy locals in Nashville) have a few high points but Hillsboro Village (which starts on the intersection of 21st Ave. South & Wedgewood and ends at 21st Ave. South & Fairfax ...

Which Wich- The Best Sandwich in a Brown Paper Bag



logo2.gif

Which Wich is an excellent deli to visit for lunch while you're in the city. The deli is located on one of Nashville's main thoroughfare: West End Ave. Many businessmen and women, as well as college students frequent Which Wich. Therefore, it can get extremely busy during lunchtime. The large crowds can make Which Wich seem daunting for first timers, so here's the run-down.

Immediately after ...

Get your green on at: THE TURNIP TRUCK



In a mustard-painted brick building on the corner of 10th and Woodland in East Nashville is The Turnip Truck. An independently owned natural market, The Turnip Truck is the perfect store for those interested in healthy living...or those who just threw back a few too many Jack Daniels last night and need to revitalize.

The store is bright and cheery, with friendly staff and wonderfully fresh products. Although the ...
