After driving 20 hours from Massachusetts, the boys successfully reached Nashville, Tennessee!! Endless hours of driving through farms and open fields on a 2-lane highway, an opening in the landscape showed this amazing city. Immediately, we were thrown into the southern comfort culture, surrounded by BBQ aroma and live music blaring from bars down the whole stretch of the famous Broadway Street. Pulling over in the first spot open at a meter, we jumped out of the car, took a quick stretch and instantly starting dipping our toes in the country culture. The first stop in the city was to the famous Tootsies bar right on Broadway, which at 10 a.m. was gladly serving beers at the bar with live country music up close and personal.
To me, this is exactly what a city should be like. It was amazing to see how friendly and outgoing some of the people here really are. When pulling in, we had no idea how big or small the city would be or what to really expect being Boston boys rolling into the country lifestyle. Surprisingly, Nashville is extremely quaint; on the smaller side, but everything you need in a city with none of the business of Boston. The streets were free of traffic and the buzz of a big city was absent, which was very nice. The architecture of the city and the history that surrounds it is unbelievable. I took many pictures of all of the main historical buildings and parks throughout the city, but no pictures will do this city justice.
We grabbed a $45 hotel room at the Knights Inn about 1 mile from downtown Nashville. For the price you pay, you can’t go wrong! It isn’t the best set up in the world, but it is a bathroom to use, a bed to sleep in and a roof over the head for a night. We just got back to the room after spending a few hours at the Honky Tonk Central which was an absolutely awesome, three-story bar in the heart of Broadway Street. The next move is to see what East Nashville has to offer and head back to Broadway later in the evening. Bright and early, we will be taking off for New Orleans!
