Nashville, Tennessee

We spent the day in downtown Nashville, the country music city!  We walked around the entire city and listened to music at many of the bars and restaurants.  We probably walked 5 miles from 10:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. The day was sunny and warm so the walk was truly enjoyable. 

Second Street and Broadway were the hotspots for music.  It reminded me a bit of New Orleans but the music was totally different.  Country all day all the time.  

The pulled pork we had for lunch was delicious. Live music by a trio was pretty good.  I am not particularly a fan of country music but we enjoyed this group.  (Didn’t get their name) 

Nashville is an interesting city in that it is going through a renovation. There seems to be a renewed interest in moving to the city from the country.  The countryside is lovely but the farms are not want the young people want anymore, according to some people we spoke to.   New construction is going on all over the place, mostly new condos and high rise buildings.  

Overall, Nashville is a fun city for those who love Country Music.  It seems to be a young persons city.  There are a couple of colleges here which keeps the city population young and energized.
