The Gulch is one of the most popular districts of Nashville that continues to grow with new…read moreeateries, experiences, and offerings with each year. Located just southwest of downtown between midtown and broadway, The Gulch is an expansive, but equally quaint part of the city that is classic mixed use of residential and retail. Main reason you may find me in The Gulch is for food. There is a solid variety of eateries from local casual spots to more established dining, sandwich shops and even a few spots for dessert. While that's my reason, most tourists find their way to The Gulch for the famous wing mural next to Biscuit Love. Got to get them wings while in Nashville! Outside of the food and wings, there are lots of local and chain businesses and services in the area including self-care, medical offices and of course clothing boutiques. Additionally, Noble Park is in the middle of The Gulch. It's a really cool urban space that features a good green space, seating, music and a water wall. It is also host to markets and small events throughout the year. Parking is plentiful in The Gulch, buts its all paid. There are garages, lots and street parking. Overall, The Gulch is a cool area of the city that I don't find myself in too often, but when I do, I always enjoy it!

They were raising money for travel expenses to send kids and chaperones to places for charity work. This festival seems to get bigger every year. There were many more arts and crafts booths than the last time I attended. These included pottery, paintings, art, accessories, clothing, and much more. Plenty of fun things for kids. There were inflatable obstacle courses, a climbing wall, and an inflatable slide for kids of all ages. There was also a carnival with rides for everyone. Gourmet food trucks and food stands were present to satisfy your hunger. You could find gyros, asian cuisine, mexican cuisine, and american favorites such as hot dogs, kettle corn and glazed nuts. The best booth at the festival was of course the "Yelp" booth. They had a spinning wheel that you could spin for cool prizes.

I'm writing this from an artist's perspective. I participated in this show years ago, and at one…read moretime it was truly excellent. Local residents showed up in droves and genuinely valued -- and purchased -- handmade work. I made five to $7000 twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the show has changed significantly. It now draws large crowds, many of whom appear to be bused in from outside the area. While attendance is high, sales are not. The loyal local audience seems to have been pushed out by the increased congestion, and many no longer attend. Equally disappointing is the noticeable decline in handmade goods. Walking the show this year, I spoke with several talented artists who shared that they struggled to cover even their basic expenses and do not plan to return. It's a real shame that the show has declined like it has. It used to be a beautiful show and Franklin is a nice town.

Murfreesboro, Tennessee has been in existence since 1811 and played a part in the war between the states by being the site if a major Civil War engagement that is known as both the Battle of Stone River or the Battle of Murfreesboro. The site of the Battle is now a national park and I would recommend a visit here if you are in Murfreesboro, Tennessee or somewhere around the area. I would definitely recommend visiting this community. While I have only been here on business, when 5:00 hits (or whenever I get done with my work day), I do do the tourist thing and check the community out. Overall, this place has been a community I look forward to visiting.

A large presence of national chains, if that's important to you. Why only 3 stars? Because as a citizen of almost 50 years, I've watched the growth here with initial excitement that has changed to concern and dismay. It's obvious the infrastructure here cannot continue to support the "yes, please!" style of unbridled growth that dominates Murfreesboro. All the wonderful things I cherish about this Middle Tennessee treasure are quickly being obscured by rising taxes, disappearing green space and horrendous traffic that is doing its best to emulate Nashville's.

I am sure the long line of cars clogging Old Hickory Blvd is annoying to the people that live nearby, it took a while to park It is music, beer, food, field to sit at. $25 admission to this is too steep. With the bugs, the crowd, and the crazy lines for food, It wasnt worth it staying so we left after 15 minutes. Glad we didnt stick around for everyone leaving, the parking situation must be insane to leave. Maybe if the event was a bit more it would be worth the admission a but more. It seems like a missed opportunity to have arts and crafts vendors on site.

Price - Good, depends on where you eat and drink or what you buy. See other Yelp reviews. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since the 1850s and with all your changes and revitalizations.

Just north of the capital and the Farmers Market and South of Metro Center, it's a wonderful neighborhood worthy of a leisurely afternoon stroll or a visit to one of it's lovely restaurants or shops. You will know you are there when you find row housing and brick sidewalks. The Germantown Cafe, Monells, and new hot dog place are among worthy contenders for your visit. They also have an Oktoberfest with lots of beer, polka, and kraut which always attracts a crowd. The neighborhood itself has exploded in the last few years so there are wonderful options for places to live there as well. It is the only neighborhood with some stunning views of the capital in addition to the downtown skyline.

It has a mix of recording studios, record label offices, radio stations, and music licensing firms. Our bus driver mentioned some and I tried to remember the names of them but here are a few from world-renowned hit machines to hidden gems: BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) - BMI represents all genres of music ASCAP (American Society of Composers) - Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley Authors and Publishers - there are too many publishing companies in Nashville to name but these are a few: Randall House, The United Methodist Publishing House, Victory Records, American Songwriter, Mojo Music & Media SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) - music licensing NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) - organization that works to help songwriters from their very first phone call to their first cut, publishing deal, and award Word Music - a Christian faith-based entertainment company representing Francesca Battistelli, for King & Country, Switchfoot, Skillet, Sidewalk Prophets, Chris August, Big Daddy Weave, etc Curb Music - American record label who had many successes including Chet Atkins, Bellamy Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Exile, Four Seasons, Gloria Gaynor, Lee Greenwood, Wynonna Judd, The Judds, Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Roy Orbison, Lou Rawls, Righteous Brothers, LeAnn Rimes, Neil Sedaka, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Jr... just too many! Warner Brothers Music - Country Music Record Label. Home to Superstars such as Blake shelton, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, Cole Swindell, Ashley McBryde SONY Music - the country music branch of the Sony Music Group RCA Studio B - birthplace of many classic hits and was home to artists like Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. While no longer in use, you can take a tour of it. Music Row is where the magic happens--where artists record their hits, where industry professionals work behind the scenes, and where the history of American music is preserved and celebrated. I would've loved to participate in a walking tour here... maybe next time. Review #3892

Quality/Quantity - Cool walking around seeing all the different studios here. It would be nice to get a tour and learn more...? Also had a decent small "bar" and "Honky Tonk" scene. But I choose to just hang out at Tailgate Brewery instead. Well we did walk that small strip. "Broadway" street is also not too far away if you really want to party! There is some art, scriptures, etc. also. Not sure if I took those pictures. We were told October was a perfect time to visit. :) Atmosphere - See above. Service - Good.
