Thread: Nashville, TN.

Its been a while since I have been to Nashville but I can attest it is probably the nicest big city I have ever been in. It has not always been like this. Back about 30 years ago downtown was a dump. It is totally different now. Last time I was there myself and several others rode motorcycles to downtown and parked them on the street. You dont have to worry about anybody down there messing with anything because most everybody is super nice and the cops patrol on foot and horseback. They dont bother anybody and just make their presence known. I never saw anybody get out of line and a lot of families with small kids were around as well. Downtown is super clean unlike most big cities. Its a great place to got eat or drink or sight see or whatever turns your crank. Its just a fun place.

Now, back a long time ago there were strip clubs everywhere. Dont ask me how I know that. That has all been cleaned up and I doubt you could find one anywhere in the entire town. At least that was what I was told. The church people ran them out.

There is a ton of fun stuff to do there. One of the neatest things I did was take a tour of the country stars homes. Some live like kings and others live fairly modestly.
Alan Jacksons place is over the top. It was hard to get a good look at it because its so far off the road but he aint hurting for money. I got to see where Martina McBride, Brooks and Dunn, Little Jimmy Dickens, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Tammy Wynett, and a whole bunch others that I cant remember lived.

I want to go back. Its just such a cool place(and Im not a city person) with so much to see and do and I love this part of the country. I have been to Memphis just once to see Graceland. I ended up getting lost on the wrong side of town (projects) in the middle of August in a black S10 Chevy with no air conditioning. Boy, that was fun. I would like to go back there also. I dont think there is anything hotter than that Memphis heat. When I was there it was over 100 degrees F and the humidity was so high you could barely breath. Best to plan a trip to Memphis during a cooler month. Trust me on that.

I love to hear travel stories and peoples experiences. Call me crazy but my next trip is to Detroit. Im a car nut and I know the town has turned into a dump but there are things there I want to see like the Henry Ford museum. Anybody been to motor city lately?
