Nashville To-Do List
What I send visiting friends. Most of it is easy on the legs.
Grand Ole Opry
Tue / Fri / Sat, usually 7pm. Eat at Mission BBQ across the street first.
Country Music Hall of Fame
Downtown, elevators to every floor, easy on the legs.
Assembly Food Hall
Fifth + Broadway. Pharmacy burger, NoBaked, Jeni's, all one stop.
The Parthenon
Centennial Park. Full size replica, ramps and an elevator, $15.
Radnor Lake
Paved Otter Creek path, lake views, no hiking boots needed.
Friends in Low Places
The one honky tonk with real seats and table service.
Zanies
Small comedy club, book ahead, you sit the whole time.
12 South
Walkable shops, ice cream, good afternoon with kids.
Travel Moves
Five habits that save me money and time on every trip.
Rent cars through Costco Travel
All in rate, taxes and fees included, extra driver free.
Never stand at the rental counter
National Emerald Aisle, Avis Preferred, Budget Fastbreak. Free to join.
Decline the counter insurance
Pay with a Chase Sapphire, you already have primary coverage. Does not apply to Turo.
Fly Southwest if you check bags
Two free bags plus A-List beats a slightly cheaper fare every time.
Fares are not all on Google
Southwest prices only show on southwest.com. Check there before you book anything.
Gifts & Souvenirs
Things people keep, instead of airport junk.
Hatch Show Print poster
Letterpress, printed downtown. Best souvenir in the city.
Third Man Records vinyl
7th Ave South. Jack White's shop.
Goo Goo Cluster
The cheap one that always lands.
Jeni's pints, shipped
Works from anywhere, arrives frozen.
A custom hat
Fitted in town, worn forever.
A custom app
For the person who complains about the same task every week.
Trusted Pros
My short list of people who show up and do it right.
Coming soon
My mechanic, and the rest of the bench. Ask me and I will add them here.
It plugs into what I already had
No migration. Not the stack, just the plumbing.
