Nashville is such a great place to visit/live.
Not only do you get the city, but just 20 min. south you get a great upbeat suburbia.(Cool Springs, Franklin, Brentwood)
If you’re in the Nashville area I would suggest going to Hillsboro Village (21st) which houses a well known pancake kitchen, fido’s, Posh, Pangaea, and some other great kitschy places.
If you’re all about the music, check out Rocketown, Exit/In, 3rd and Lindsley, 12th & Porter, river stages, The Bluebird cafe for all of you country fans, the opry, gaylord entertainment center, etc.
If you’re about the shopping, I would say get lost in downtown for boutiques and what nots…Opry Mills Mall, Green Hills Mall, etc.
If you like your books check out the downtown library and then go downstairs to Provence for sandwich and cup of coffee.
