Loveless Cafe for breakfast.
Opryland? Is that open?
Make the trip to Memphis and visit Graceland.
Hot chicken. Several choices, I like Hattie B’s.
The Opryland Hotel.
Hope the riots are over by then.
If you’re into ancient history, check out the full-size replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park.
Visiting Franklin, just south of Nashville is nice. The Carter House/Battle of Franklin site is worthwhile. Also, visit Belle Meade Mansion, Percy Warner Park, The Parthenon’s Athena statue, and take a walk around Lower Broadway and Church Street to the River.
We did a showboat dinner ride years ago. Don’t know if that’s still a thing, but it was fun. Might have been the General Jackson showboat.
Can’t tell you any places, but it is run by Dems. Not much really open because of Covid, take your mask you’ll need it. Gun too if you can.
The Country Hall of Fame Museum is great and there’s a small Johnny Cash Museum and restaurant that were enjoyable. Nudie’s (not a strip club; named after the C&W suit maker). It’s a nice town and a lot of fun. Still clean. Stubbs record store. Bluebird has a crazy wait time/line so I didn’t visit that.
New Orleans and Austin are homeless/danger zones these days. Nashville is better.
There’s a Parthenon-style building I visited that was a replica of the Greek one. Was okay to visit.
Enjoy!
Visited there twice in the mid ‘90s. Franklin, just south on I-65, was great to just to stroll through and see antique stores and I believe that there is a Civil War battlefield historic site there as well.
The old part of downtown is/was interesting, but haven’t been there in years.
Keep an eye on the panhandlers.
Go to the Aquarium restaurant. Amazing. Hope they are open.
Belle Meade plantation is gorgeous — but beware any of the woke scum who may have decided it needs “protesting.”
Must try: Pigs over Broadway, Jack’s barbecue.
And Demos steakhouse.
Two excellent places.
When you’re at Jack’s you can walk out the back door cross the alley and see the stars entrance to the Ryman auditorium.
Third Man records maybe?
Opryland Hotel isn’t a bad place to visit, and in the evening, there are a couple of bars with live music right in the hotel.no need to be staying there either to enjoy it.
The Grand’Ol Opry if it is open. Even if your not a huge C&W fan. There is something about live music, and occasionally there are some real surprises on the performing artists.
The Dukes of Hazard museum is near the Opryland Hotel. Although to be fair, I haven’t been there.
The State Capital building is a beauty made largely of Tennessee marble. I live in North Carolina. Our capital building, whose dome looks like a pimple, is a doghouse compared to Tennessee’s.
Raleigh’s a great place to live, though.
