Attention, Nashville readers: help a good couple have a nice time in your town
Really, this request goes out not just to Nashvillians, but to anyone who can offer suggestions. I received an e-mail recently that queries, in part:
As part of my upcoming trip to Chattanooga, my wife and I have decided to tack on a weekend in Nashville. She has not spent much time in TN and I have only seen Chattanooga, so we thought we would explore a little; in addition, some good friends from Iowa will also be in Nashville that weekend. She and I are flying into Nashville on Friday, 10/12, and we will spend the weekend there.So we are looking for suggestions on what to do and see, in and around Nashville. We would like to take in some sights and get some local flavor as well. Ideas for music/dance venues, clubs, and restaurants would be particularly appreciated. We are hardy travelers so we enjoy getting away from the regular tourist spots, but we can also put on our tourist hats and enjoy traveling with the crowd.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
I have to admit that I don't know Nashville all that well. I have rarely spent more than a few hours there at a time, especially outside of some pre-arranged event, like a conference. I've been to the Parthenon once, many years ago, and thought that was something to see. I have made the guitarist's requisite pilgrimage to Gruhn's, but this couple are not guitarists.
Also, full disclosure: the person writing the e-mail happens to be my boss. He's coming to Chattanooga immediately after his weekend in Nashville, so let's try make sure he has a great time. We wouldn't want the boss in a bad mood (not that he's the type given to such displays -- he's easily the most even-keeled person I've ever worked for).
Thanks in advance.
