Downtown Nashville

Get a local’s view/angle on this vibrant and complex city. Music, history, scandals, scoundrels, and great historical stories. Nashville’s roots lie in a complex start with a large immigration from the Northeast, native Americans, and frontier minded people. After the Civil War, downtown served as a town that supported many saloons, served a pivotal role in women’s suffrage, was the epicenter of successful change in the civil rights movement, and laid foundation to the city know worldwide as music city.

Printer's Alley

Named as an area of town housing multiple printing and publishing services in the 1800s, prohibition soon transferred Printer’s Alley into a musical hotspot and entertainment center laced with speakeasies and a lazier faire attitude among business owners and guests. Home of a Nashville treasure, Skull’s Rainbow Room, the alley is still destination for fun, entertainment, and great music! Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Sammy Davis Jr., Paul McCartney, Elvis, and Johnny Cash were among the many entertainers that have graced this beloved area.

I like to call this am Upscale Nuovo part of town with a bit of old sprinkled in for good measure. Trendy, mix of old and new this is another great place for people watching.
