When my husband and I moved to
Nashville in the 90’s, downtown was a full on, old school country music scene.
From the honky-tonks, Printer’s Alley and record label headquarters, it really was country. Today, you won't see the
long gone Hard Rock Cafe and Fuddruckers of the 90's, you'll see high rises and construction sites and traffic! To say Music City has changed in an understatement.
Nashville has grown, and continues to grow at such an alarming pace that even
locals like us need help navigating our day trips into Nashville, so today I’m
sharing a new to me guide called Do615, this website is a fun way to make the
most of a Nashville trip whether you have a day or a week.
Printers Alley 2014:
Welcome to Nashville- The “It” City:
Nashville has it all the local
news headline proclaims; and honestly, it’s not wrong. We are a city full of
music, (not just country), sports (waves Nashville Preds gear at you), walkable
neighborhoods, great food, farmers markets and parks (The Parthenon at
Centennial is a must see!), and is a fantastic place to raise a family. That’s
why we moved here years ago. The Nashville that welcomes visitors and
transplants now looks nothing like the Nashville that welcomed us decades ago, but that's okay, now you can be in the know just like a local.

Sounds pretty cool, right? Not only have I found cool events
my husband and I want to attend like the Record Store Day on April 13th,
but I also discovered a block party near my daughter’s college campus this weekend. She was pretty happy to hear about it. I think I earned some cool Mom points!

The Take Away:
Do615 is a fantastic resource for anybody living in or
visiting the ever changing Nashville area. The website and app is lists a
plethora of music events, but also showcases things like In Bloom at the
Cheekwood Botanical Garden and the Nashville Comedy Festival featuring John
Crist.
