re: Music City Bowl Check in Thread

Anyone staying for New Year’s Eve last years concert to drop the music note had an insane group of singers. I don’t mind country music but wouldn’t call myself a fan.

And if you are downtown and don’t want to cross the pedestrian bridge you can drive there easily if you go up to capitol st and come in the backside of the stadium

Opry Mills has gone downhill since the flood of 2010. There used to be a Gibson store there which was awesome to go check out the instruments and see them working on the acoustics, but I think the flood cost them several hundred thousand dollars in inventory and they decided not to return.

If you are a history buff, Stones River Battlefield is over in Murfreesboro, and you would be there at the same time of year as the battle.

You can also go down to Franklin and see where Hood destroyed the Army of Tennessee - he lost 12 generals (6 killed, 5 wounded, 1 captured) and 60 of 100 regimental commanders were killed or wounded. Most of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields have been lost to development (much like Atlanta because southerners didn't want to preserve the sites of losses) but there are some places protected and a few monuments here and there.

Foodwise, the Loveless Cafe is world famous, but you have to get there early or be prepared to wait a long time for a table. When we were there about 10 years ago we really liked Jack's BBQ on Broadway, but most folks say it is down the list of Nashville BBQ places.
