Bright & Early: Technicolor Dreams Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve heard rumblings of some big changes in store for the heavenly patch of grass and flowers that houses our city’s true pride and joy–our full-scale replica of the Parthenon. Centennial Park (also home to some of our other favorite displays such as the half of a fishing boat, a plane, a [...]
Bright & Early: When The Hydra Comes To Town Edition
Good morning, Nashville. That beloved and strange full-sized Parthenon replica that sits in the middle of our town has been getting a lot of attention lately. Compared to last year’s March numbers, attendance has increased by nearly a third and the Parks department says we have that Percy Jackson movie to thank. Percy Jackson and the [...]
Bright & Early: Getting Creative Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday the city rolled out the plans for the Music City Center, which is that new convention center we’re getting that everyone has been fighting about for a few years. It’ll be going in on 5th and Demonbreun right behind the Sommet Center and is somehow going to incorporate “the rolling hills [...]
Happy Hour: Important Business
Unless you’re hitting up the Nashville Gas Christmas parade or tree lighting ceremony tonight, you’re better off to steer clear of downtown! [Tennessean] Bad news, y’all–Kenny Chesney supposedly has a new girlfriend, who was Miss Tennessee in 2005. [WSMV] Out of all the landmarks in the United States, we’re pretty proud that the Autisim Self [...]
Photo Of The Day: November 13, 2008
We’re not sure why the Parthenon is lit up green at this time of year (is it Christmas already?), but we think it looks pretty eerie. Thanks to macintheus for the submission! Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll give [...]
Bright & Early: Three-Day Weekend Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday. While we at Nashvillest were busy with our disastrous Fantasy Football draft last night, the Titans were wrapping up their preseason with a 23-21 win against the Packers. Bad news is, our favorite QB Vince Young messed up his hand. They say it’s just a little bruise, but we’re [...]
Photo Of The Day: July 31, 2008
One of our favorite places in Nashville has always been Dragon Park (actually called Fannie May Dees Park), since we discovered it hidden in the shadows of the neighboring Parthenon. Beautiful mosaics aside, Dragon Park sure isn’t short on hiding places like this one–a PVC tunnel beneath a rocky pyramid of sorts, captured by nashgirl. [...]
Photo Of The Day: June 11, 2008
It can be tough to capture clouds like this through the eye of a camera, but we were totally impressed by how huge and looming these looked while they were hanging over the Parthenon. We also hadn’t noticed the statues on top of it before. Great job, macintheus. Photo Of The Day will be a [...]
Photo Of The Day: Parthenon Candid
We’re loving the creative Parthenon shots that keep showing up in the pool, and this candid shot by nephinevin especially caught our eye for the human interest. It embodies everything we love about Centennial: A quirky monument, an interesting photographic subject, and an all-around great place to chill on a nice day. Photo Of The [...]
Photo Of The Day: Parthenon Or Rat Maze?
We can almost bet that every person who’s ever visited or lived in Nashville has taken a picture of the Parthenon, and until we saw this picture by ronbox, we were pretty sure that we’d seen every perspective there was. It took us a minute to even figure out what we were looking at with [...]
