Nashville, Tennessee (The Parthenon, Broadway Street Honky Tonks, Centennial Park, Riverside Park) October 15, 2019

Yesterday we traveled from southwestern Kentucky to NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE to spend two days in this incredible city. Nashville is a remarkable, super progressive city with so much to offer its residents and visitors alike. We visited the amazing PARTHENON on the western side of Nashville, originally built in 1897. It is a FULL SCALE REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL PARTHENON IN ATHENS, GREECE. The Parthenon stands proudly as the centerpiece of CENTENNIAL PARK, Nashville’s premier urban park. An impressive 42 foot gold statue of ATHENA, the mythical goddess of wisdom and protector of cities, is the highlight structure within this incredible building. Additionally, what would a trip to Nashville be without spending considerable time in the HONKY TONK section of downtown on BROADWAY STREET. This four block long strip of restaurants, bars, pubs and museums is so impressive and so much fun to experience!!! It seems as though every major country artist owned one of the large Honky Tonks along the strip. Live country music was seemingly being played all day in each of the Honky Tonks. We enjoyed KID ROCK’S HONKY TONK, as well as NASHVILLE CROSSINGS. We topped off our wonderful Nashville experience with an absolutely delicious BBQ dinner at JACK’s BBQ. We would have liked a few more days here to visit the Country Hall of Fame, the State Capital Building, the Grand Ole Opry, and much more!!
