Free Admission At The Frist Center On MLK Day [Freebies]
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Frist Center is offering free admission today! This drizzly, dreary weather may keep us inside on our day off, but at least we’ll be getting cultured instead of sitting on the couch watching Netflix all day. (Who are we kidding, we’ll be doing that too.) We’ve been [...]
Photo Of The Day: Gateway At Sunset
Photo Of The Day is a recurring feature on Nashvillest as long as you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll give you props. Just drop them in the pool and we’ll fish ‘em out. Photo by Paul Beavers.
The Weekendist: December 3-4 Edition
Happy weekend, Nashville. With the plethora of holiday events this weekend (shopping, shopping, shopping), you could almost fool us into thinking that it’s already Christmas. Even though December is so fresh that we haven’t even flipped over our calendars, ChristmaHanuKwanzaakah will be here before we know it. So grab a jacket, some mittens and a [...]
Happy December, It’s Time For The Christmas Parade [Road Closures]
So, there’s a Christmas parade downtown tonight! Did this fact escape you too? The 59th Annual Nashville Christmas Parade will get started tonight at 7pm by crossing the totally-structurally-sound-despite-being-hit-by-a-barge Woodland Street Bridge, then make its way down 2nd Avenue and Broadway before ending around Broadway & 7th (map). This year’s parade is supposed to be [...]
Regal Reopening: A Good Reason To Play Hooky Today
The Regal Cinemas at Opry Mills has reopened over a year and a half after being flooded in May 2010, and they’re throwing a pretty sweet reopening party this week. Of course we’d never recommend that our readers skip out on work, but if, you know, you just happen to get sick or something, we [...]
Where’s The Love, Nashville Instagram-ers?
This Wednesday is Worldwide Instameet Day, but there’s a problem – Nashville has exactly four people signed up to attend, and as of this posting, a location has yet to be set. Now, we know you people love your Instagram. We see you shuffling down the street trying to get that perfect artsy photo. And [...]
It’s A Sad Day For Weirdness In Nashville: The Bat Poet Dies At 59
We were so sad to hear the news that Joey Bowker, better known as Nashville’s own Bat Poet, passed away over the weekend at the young age of 59. Your Nashvillest editors discovered the Bat Poet shortly after relocating to Nashville, flipping back and forth between whatever was on public access and weeklong Made marathons [...]

Spooky, Festive End To This Year’s Grassy Knoll Movie Nights This Sunday
When Grassy Knoll Movie Nights came on the scene back in July, we didn’t know much about them, but we were excited. Outdoor movies are the best! Now, with a solid season of cult classics behind them – Lucas, Harold & Maude, Rear Window, The Princess Bride, Cool Hand Luke and Annie Hall – they’re wrapping [...]
Bundle Up For This Weekend’s Edgehill Village Artisan Fair
We love us a good artisan fair, especially as temperatures start dipping and we have to start admitting to ourselves that the holidays are closer than we’d like to think. Nothing beats a one-of-a-kind handmade gift, but we don’t always have the time to hand-craft presents for the many people we love in our lives. [...]
