Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Snow: Free Day at Country Music Hall Of Fame
Thanks to that good ol’ #TheSituation2010 this past weekend, the Country Music Hall of Fame was closed on Saturday, which also happened to be the date of their annual Ford Community Day, a rare day of free admission. For those crying “conspiracy!” at the museum’s seemingly convenient closing, we expect to see your shining faces [...]
Bright & Early: Wash, Rinse, Repeat Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Jefferson Street Freedom Riders mural will be getting yet another coat of paint just two weeks after being repainted to cover up where vandals had whited out all of the black faces. This time around, which is actually the third time someone has defaced the mural since it was finished on [...]
Happy Hour: Change We Need

In order to come up with the extra money, the proposed amendments would shave off some funds from the Convention & Visitors [...]

Cheap Tourism At Home [Almost Freebies]

Around Nashville, that includes the Country Music Hall of Fame, Frist Center, Historic [...]
Photo Of The Day: September 8, 2008
We’re sort of ashamed to say that we’ve never actually been to the Country Music Hall of Fame, but this fun and colorful shot by nola.agent makes us want to venture out there sometime soon, if not just to see if we can track down this wall.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature [...]
