Out of most of the Dollar Tree locations in the Nashville area, this one is a favorite...if I had to have one. Service is usually pretty friendly here and they always have more than one line open, which is a rarity for this brand. Shelves are stocked well, boxes aren't strewn across the aisles haphazardly and for the most part, it's a fairly clean location. My main reason for stops here are normally Tupperware, gift wrapping supplies or the random one-off item. However I have been known to scope the dry goods aisles and scoop up some seasoning or condiments on the cheap. No shame! Overall, solid Dollar Tree location that comes in clutch when needed.

I really like that they sell the 20oz Coke products. Most places only carry the 16oz versions. Although I have never really asked any questions of the staff, this place has always been friendly to me. I wish they had later hours in the evening and open on weekends, but I understand because their client base is probably not large enough to warrant paying someone to stay open later. Nashville seems to be in short supply for places like this. I'm glad Merchant Mart is here for concessions type businesses.

Some time ago, I found a neat place in Murfreesboro called HFS, which felt like a smaller version…read moreof Sam's Club, had large and wholesale items at reasonable prices, and everyone was real nice. This place feels a lot like it... but... I don't know. Part of it is probably the location, right in the middle of industrial Elm Hill Pike. Part of it is the ambiance, which feels more like a small warehouse than a store. Part of it is the very blase attitude of the employees: they're very whatever, when I'm looking for a smile and some chitchat. They've got lots of great snacks and they're cheap cheap cheap. Stuff looks like vending food stuff and at least 25% cheaper. Loving that. There's janitorial stuff, business stuff, office supplies, that kind of thing. You can get in and out there faster than Sam's, and it's reasonably priced, but it's got a chilly attitude, and not very inviting.

The blocks occupied feel like its own little community in the middle of the bigger city. It definitely has it's own vibe and is uniquely East Nashville. When we are in East, we normally make it point to stop in a shop or two. International Coffee, Galena Garlic and Adobe Mercantile are usually spots we frequent when wandering around, and Gift Horse is a cool place for a quirky or local gift for folks. Food wise, Maru and East Creamery are always on point and hit the spot! Hours of each shop differ, so make sure you look specifically at the hours of the places you want to visit. There is no real consistency amongst the shops from an overall hours perspective, which can be a tad frustrating. Parking is a bit wonky as well, nothing really dedicated at all times. There are a few pay lots nearby and street parking is plentiful in the area. Overall, Shoppes on Fatherland is a cool East community and is a good spot to spend a little time when you have nothing going on. It's always an after or before dinner/drink place for us.

Because of the name, I guessed the Idea Hatchery was a shared workspace or a writing collective. It *only* took me [redacted] years to get out of my car and walk in to see what's what. Flanked by an antiques shop and an art gallery (if you've done Tomato Arts Fest you know right where this is), the collective's appearance is a bit nondescript but that makes the discovery all the better, no? Inside the threshold are eight uniquely (east) Nashville businesses. As an incubator, the Hatchery is a perfect spot to test out concepts and gain sea legs before opting for a bigger location or an expanded footprint. It's a great go-between from online/out of the house to stand alone brick and mortar. I believe this is the spiritual parent to the Shoppes on Fatherland. Right now the current occupants tend to skew a bit 'female' in what they do (fashion, art, etc.) but that's not to say that there isn't a lot for a number of demographics to choose from. Selfishly, I'm hoping that some sort of food/treat business takes up residence in the shops. Toffee? Taffy? Shaved Ice? I can keep going folks. Actually, an old-timey, regional candy store would fit in well. Boom. I just found your newest tenant. Sort of. East End has a lot of fun businesses to explore. Next time you're in the neighborhood, scoot just a bit past that (locally) famous intersection and get a taste of what the area has to offer. I think you'll enjoy what you find. At the very least, it's a nice way to pass the time on a lazy weekend day.

One point of confusion is the parking. It's technically free, but you have to register inside to get a voucher after scanning a QR code posted outside.

Anyway, there's free parking buuuut I guess you have to jump through a few hoops to get it (there's literally nothing else around so why not just allow people to park and come in?) A good amount of stuff going on in here: you can find clothing (more on the conservativ/athleisure wear side of the spectrum), gifts, snacks, a salon, cycling classes, coffee, a Mediterranean food stand, an Italian restaurant and more. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface! While I didn't try any of the food options besides the gourmet popcorn place (which is surprisingly affordable for gourmet popcorn!) I loved the drinks I had at both Eat Bubbles (boba, matcha etc) and the irresistible Pont Neuf wine bar (both of which I'll review separately). And perhaps best of all: they have great seating areas throughout in which you can set up shop for working remotely, drinking your drinks, eating your snacks... so have at it!

Thankfully I found a bedazzled light weight black coat for $30, bling earrings and a ring to get into the mood for this evening's 7:30 pm event. This shop did not have that musty smell like Goodwill or Savers. We'd shop for music or Big Sky bears ages ago but not clothes.

If you're a fan of the Duke's of Hazard nostalgia and Southern hospitality, Cooter's in Nashville…read moreis an absolute must-visit. While it's world-famous as the ultimate Dukes of Hazzard museum, what many people don't realize is that the "Cooter's" brand--led by Ben Jones himself--knows exactly how to serve up a Hazzard County experience that feels like home. Whether you're there for the General Lee or the atmosphere, here is a glowing review of the highlights you shouldn't miss. The food at the famous Cooter's Country Kitchen is all about "good eatin'"--unfussy, flavorful, and filling. We were there for launch, so I went with the Hazard Burger which is a massive, juicy staple that's seasoned to perfection. It's the kind of burger that requires two hands and a stack of napkins, often topped with crispy bacon and melted cheese. They recommend choice of the place is the Country Fried Steak which is breaded and fried to a golden crunch and smothered in a rich, peppery white gravy that would make Uncle Jesse proud. My wife however went with the Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich instead, which is a tender, slow-cooked pork piled high on a toasted bun. This highlight of this was for her, the sauce. She said that is was the perfect balance between sweet and tangy, capturing the essence of Tennessee barbecue. You can't have a Southern meal without the sides, and Cooter's keeps it classic and crispy. We opted for the Fried Pickles s are sliced thin, battered, and fried and unlike most fried pickles we had tried the breading stays on when you bit in to it, instead of sliding off. As usual they come with a side of ranch dressing to offset the pickle taste. We also had the Seasoned Fries, which thick-cut and dusted with a house signature spice blend, these aren't your average fast-food fries. They have enough "kick" to keep things interesting. Finally no BBQ meal is complete without the side of creamy coleslaw. You'll want to save a little room for a sweet finish, we highly recommend the Banana Pudding: This is the gold standard of Hazard County desserts. It's layered with vanilla wafers and fresh bananas, topped with a dollop of whipped cream. It's light, sweet, and tastes exactly like childhood. If you're lucky enough to catch the seasonal rotations, the apple or peach fried pies are legendary as well but are not always available. On a side note while you're there, make sure to check out the museum side of the house. The admission is free, and seeing the original costumes and the General Lee up close makes the meal taste that much better. We usually avoid theme focused restraunt themed places like this but this place is delving with a stop if you are travels in through Nashville. The price was on part with most places in the Nashville, area.
