We’ve been to The Woods at Fontanel (the outdoor music amphitheater where big music acts perform) and to Cafe Fontanella (the restaurant which also has a small stage for live music) several times. The live music is always great and the food is sometimes good. But touring the Fontanel mansion is definitely something that […]
When a friend (who was visiting Nashville from another state) signed us up for a Segway tour of Nashville, 2 things came to mind: I can’t do that… I’m the world’s biggest clutz and have no sense of balance! How can I possibly enjoy a “tour” of Nashville this way?… I’ll be fighting to stay upright the entire […]
It’s true. Whenever friends are visiting us — and they have kids — the first place I recommend going is Sky High Sports. Why? Because not only is it one of our Top 10 Fun Things To Do With Kids In Nashville, but it’s also fun for all ages — from toddlers to teens to even […]
What was once a good food truck in Nashville is now a great restaurant in Nashville! Setting up shop in “grungy” garage-style digs, this Wedgewood-Houston sequel to a wing-wielding food truck turns out “tantalizing” smoked-then-grilled chicken, “indulgent” mac ’n cheese and “inventive” moonshine cocktails (classic Kool-Aid is a selling point, too). Multiple screens ensure “you […]
I have never eaten from a food truck before. Sometimes I felt like I was the only person in Middle Tennessee who hadn’t. Despite its title as the “Country Music Capital” of America, Nashville’s country singers aren’t its only big stars. In recent years, food trucks have come on to the scene and become the real […]
The History Channel has made “picking” famous. What is picking you ask? Picking in its very essence is finding treasures via other people’s trash. Two people have made antique picking an American pastime: Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz. Through their show on the History Channel, American Pickers, the world was introduced (or re-introduced) to picking. Mike and […]
Are you a bargain shopper? I am. Some people bargain shop out of necessity. Other people bargain shop for the sheer thrill of finding an awesome deal. Regardless of why you bargain shop, did you know there are great places in Franklin to find amazing deals? My family and I are huge into saving money. Bargain […]
We’ve lived in Williamson County ever since we moved from Florida in 2001. Let’s see, we started in Brentwood (Nippers Corner area)… then built a house in Franklin (near West Haven)… found a sweet deal on a house in Spring Hill (on the Williamson County side)… and bought property in Leipers Fork (which has a Franklin, TN address) for our log home retirement dream home. […]
The Nashville flood was unprecedented and the first of its kind for this area. Around here, they call it the 1000-year flood. The 2 days of constant rain and flooding which took place on May 1-2, 2010 in Nashville Tennessee broke all kinds of records: It was the most rainfall in 2 days in Nashville’s history. […]
One of my favorite places to ride my bike is through Franklin and Leipers Fork in Williamson County. It’s a route that takes me right past Tim and Faith’s house. I’m always in awe of just how much property they’ve got there — over 750 acres. Now that Tim and Faith are selling this house […]
Much like Alan Jackson’s home, I can’t count the number of times I’ve been to George Jones’ house. Like thousands of others, we visited the home of George and Nancy Jones during the Christmas holidays each year. Their Christmas light display was truly amazing. And if friends were in town, we made a point to […]
