It is widely known that the Loveless Cafe is one of Nashville's hottest attractions. What is NOT so widely known is the fact that the Loveless Cafe is actually in Franklin, Tennessee Bellevue, Tennessee. (...see comments below)

It's located about 15 miles south of Nashville on Highway 100 -- near the Natchez Trace bridge -- in Franklin Bellevue. And I bet the majority of the locals (like us) often forget about this little gem.

The puck is in play!

It's "go time"!

Whatever catch phrase YOUR favorite NHL hockey team prefers, the point is: It's hockey time! ...and that makes a certain someone VERY happy.

Listen to Bud Light's Real American Heroes "Mr. Giant Foam Finger Maker":

Here in Nashville, Predators fans are big on doing the whole "fang fingers" thing anytime the Preds do something really great.

Word is, Neil & Abby are "official" hockey fans -- they've even got their own "official" hockey jerseys and everything!

We went to the Fainting Goat Festival in Lewisburg, Tennessee a couple years ago. Surprisingly, we didn't see many goats actually fainting there though.

The reason?...

It was set up more like a petting zoo, and there were signs posted everywhere like: "Shhh...do not startle the goats!"

With the 3nd Annual Fainting Goat Festival approaching (October 7th & 8th), I took some time to learn more about the unique qualities of Fainting Goats.

...Check out our fun photos and video footage from the premiere!

The premiere of the movie "Elizabethtown" took place last night here in Franklin, Tennessee. Surprisingly, there was very little pre-show publicity around here about the movie premiere at Franklin Cinema.

Mostly in attendance -- lining the red carpet leading up to Franklin Cinema -- were diehard Orlando Bloom fans, as well as followers of the musicians that performed: I Nine (a hot new band from Columbia, South Carolina) and Patty Griffin (a classic singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas) -- each group performed one song that was also featured on the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack.

Everything was slated to begin at 4pm, so we made the decision to get there a little after 2pm. Thankfully, we scored the last "good" spot that was available.

TIP: If you attend a movie premiere at Franklin Cinema in the future, take along a stepstool! We did, and we got some incredible views of the stars... It put us just high enough above the crowd, eliminating a lot of extraneous heads, waving hands, and elbows.

For those who live in Tennessee (like us), here are all the drive-in movie theaters I could find in the state of Tennessee:

We rented a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains for the first time last June.

After researching several different cabins online, we opted to rent through Cosby Creek Cabins in Cosby, Tennessee.

They offered the best view, the most amenities, and the lowest price -- AND they were just a hop, skip & a jump from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Here are the details of our Gatlinburg cabin rental experience...

Today I heard about a number of local tourist attractions that are offering something special to those who've been displaced by Hurricane Katrina and now find themselves in Nashville, Tennessee.

Thanks to them, there are now lots of FUN things for these folks to do while they're in Nashville...
