We are looking at taking a trip to Nashville in a month or so. Any locals or frequent visitors have suggestions on what to see or do? Or areas to avoid?

book a tour so you have someone that can get you around town without all the traffic hassle. i would rather drive atlanta than nashville. what a cluster to get around.

Marathon Motor Works on Clinton St. is the location of the American Pickers retail shop plus various other shops and historical displays of the Marathon cars once manufactured in Nashville.

Hopefully this link works, if not google Marathon Motor Works.


And then...no Mopar Hemis but a very interesting collection:

Johnson's Horsepowered Garage is an awesome experience, you have to get a hold of them and see if you can get in, it is a private car collection, google it! I have gotten them around a dozen cars over the last two years, lots of Mopars! They are located southwest in Columbia, TN.

I was in GA, TN and KY last year. We made it to "Cooters Garage". Tom Wopat was going to be there. I wasn't willing to wait in a line and pay some stupid price to see him but the memorabilia they had there was great to see.

What to avoid?

Country music, of course.

Luckily, there's so much good music out there that you don't need to worry. The Bluebird Cafe is worth researching.

If Diego is there, avoid that guy. He always thinks his opinion is the only one that matters,

If you like music nostalgia, the RCA Studio B tour is a must. Visiting the original Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium is a must. Taking in a show at the new Grand Ole Opry is highly recommended. I am not a CW fan but I went to a Grand Ole Oprey show and I would go again.

Gaylord Opryland resort is kind of nice, if you like the resort environment. I enjoyed it there anyway.

Bourbon Street, located in Printers Alley, is a pretty good place if you're tired of country and would rather hear some blues.

Guitar player friend Chris plays a few days a week at Robert's western world.
He moved out there from MI many years ago. He's always a fun listen and very entertaining, but
with all due respect to the history of them....the environment of those tiny venues like that really isn't always the best place to see a musician.

We went here. I was a little disappointed. I guess I expected to see more "picked" stuff. There were way more made in China flee market type souvenirs than antiques. The rest of the Marathon building, however, was very interesting. We went on a tour of the Ryman Auditorium which I'd recommend. Also, any of the bars on Broadway. Most are three stories tall and have a different band on each floor.

He's going to be in Marysville, MI on 8/27 for a car show called Hot Wheels Weekend. This year should be a good one. Last Monkee alive along with one of the original Monkeemobile's will be there as well.

Yeah man, it's usually a pretty good time out there. I went and saw another guitar player buddy Mike Tobin at that Hot Wheels show one time, back in the olden pre-Covid days.......I think it was '19 or '18 but am not willing to dig too hard for it. Junior Brown was the headliner that year/I'm a fan so I couldn't miss that one! I've paid to see Junior a couple times and to catch him for free at a car show is a treat. SurfraJettes were on the bill too and also alot of fun.
