Nashville Stories

Big Adventure to go to this fabled American city famous for Lo-retta Lynn, horses and Garth Brooks...

My first impression was good. I ducked into the ladies room in the Nashville airport and found 5 Dyson hand dryers. Wow. I am crazy about the Dyson vacuum cleaner and think Dyson's designs for everything from wheel barrows up and down are amazing so a city that can +afford to both appreciate good design and and buy it for a public space definitely has something going for it. Nashville is a town with money and the restaurants are crowded and the tourists keep on buying cow boy boots...In all other respects it seems very normal city of a mid size where people voted democrat in a republican state.

We visited schools, saw good book stores, ate tomato basil soup, drank beer and walked the streets with the locals, visited diverse neighborhood real estate and experienced some very, very chilly weather. We also met some nice people, ate shrimp and grits but no biscuits, alas, and plan on going back in December to do the whole thing over again. But this time Kate will be visiting Nashville, too.

Arnie has a nice apartment with several flat screen tvs. Now that is a good example the out of town luxury thing! And he bought a car. A grey car. I realized afterwards that I should have asked about the brand of the car but city girls like yellow taxis and cars of color.
