It's well worth the visit if you are in the neighborhood but I wouldn't come out of my way to come here. I was surprised that there was no one here at 2pm on a Saturday. The community center does seem to be active and has many activities listed in its social media listings.

We stopped here looking for a book that my daughter wanted. It's a great community library!…read more Besides getting you any book in the Nashville library system they have an assortment of movies, books on tape and a great array of community information. It's a good place to relax and read.

This is a cute little library branch, located right off of Gallatin Pike in the Inglewood pocket of…read moreEast Nashville. My regular branch location is closed for a couple of weeks for window repairs, so all holds are being transferred to Inglewood until it reopens. I stopped by on a sunny winter afternoon to drop off a few returns and pick up a few books on hold. The parking lot is a bit bigger than the East location, and it seems easier to access as well. After wandering around for a few moments, I was still unsure where to pick up my books, so I asked the team member sitting at the registration desk. They helpfully directed me to my books, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. On my way out, I noticed a few open computer stations, and some kid-friendly decor adorning the walls. Although it's a smaller branch, it doesn't seem too busy, and I'd definitely consider stopping by to work remotely or browse their book selection sometime soon.

Staff is always friendly, helpful and welcoming. The building is old, but what library isn't...that adds to the character of libraries! Selection of books is solid, process to check them out and return is seamless and easy. Love the seating around the building, as grabbing something to read, flipping the pages and enjoying the quiet is a rarity, but nice when possible. Overall, glad to have this library location in the neighborhood!

We ate at some great restaurants, drank at some great breweries, shopped at some great shops, and of course, listened to some great music. So much music! We had four days to cram in as much as we could. Visited the Grand Ole Opry for the first time and took the backstage pass. Our tour guide was fantastic. When I come back next, I'll be coming to a show at the Grand Ole Opry. We spent a couple of hours at the Country Music Hall of Fame, drove past the Parthenon, Titan Stadium, Vanderbuilt University, and the State Capital. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Most charge over $25 per night. There are plenty of hotels for every lifestyle and wallet. There is always something going on in this town that every visit is different. There is either a new restaurant/bar, new hotels, free concerts, and plenty of fun people watching and sightseeing. There are plenty of fee paid activities and chartered party busses up and down the street. There are plenty of free things to do as well. The Parthenon is cool and the farmers market has a little bit of everything. The riverfront is just plain pretty and the city does their best to keep it clean and safe. In the evenings the streets get crowded but now that vehicles get the right of way on the streets and walking patrons are corralled behind sidewalk barriers. Everyone crosses at the same time. It seems to work well. The best part of Nashville is that everyone is from somewhere else and everyone loves being here to visit.

Madison Park is the first park acquired after the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation was…read moreestablished in 1963, at their first meeting. Elvis's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, donated $7,000 to help pay for the park. The park also hosted a`n annual Madison Hillbilly Day- proceeds of which were also used towards the park purchase funds. The park was purchased for $9,000n from Opha Bixer. The property was turned over to a nonprofit organization- the Madison Community Park, Inc- and was purchased back by Metro Nashville for $16,500 in 1988, in exchange for a promise to build a community center there. Today, it has 30 acres, and hosts a community center, a playground, public restrooms, picnic shelters, baseball fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, paved walking/jogging paths, and a multipurpose field. It underwent a major renovation in 2019, and there are further renovation plans in the future, including a plan for a dog park. The renovations are gorgeous, with a royal blue and gold theming.

I often wonder why there's been so much migration SE on I24. I mean, I *know* why but rather than…read moremoving so far away, I wonder why more people haven't crossed Briley to head up to Madison. I fully expect this adjacent city to gain more and more popularity amongst folks looking for some real estate relief (and who want to stay in Davidson County). When that population boom happens, I think many of these folks will find good times to be had at Madison Park. Madison Park is deceptively large. I drove in to the park on Cumberland, thinking it to be a small, neighborhood green space. Not the case. Madison Park, despite being surrounded by apartments, homes and a highway, is a healthy park with a lot of attractive attributes. I'm curious to see what it's like in the spring/summer. Far from a thatch of grass, the park offers: basketball court, baseball diamonds, pavilions for lunching, tennis court, soccer field, volleyball court, a community center, a playground, and rolling hills with (Madison) city views and mature trees. I didn't expect any of this from what I saw on the back end. There are three entrances and plenty of parking. From the signage, there looks to be some construction/improvements on the way. I'm curious to see what that looks like. For nearby residents, the community center offers free child care with programming for the school year and summer. Obviously, Madison Park is a local resource and respite but I think its size and the many additions it offers allows it to be a destination park as well. If you haven't spend much time in Madison, you could do far worse than by starting here.

Honest Review: 5/5…read more The Hermitage was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I decided to do the VIP tour since I was exploring solo, and I'm so glad I got to experience it! Our tour guide, Nick, was super cool, knowledgeable, and down to earth! He did an amazing job explaining the history of the plantation, the people who lived there, and answering all of our questions. There is so much history to take in and so much to see! The grounds were stunning, with beautiful scenery and peaceful walking paths. I definitely appreciated learning about the history while taking in everything this place has to offer. Now, here's a little tip! The main difference I noticed between general admission and the VIP tour was that VIP allowed us access to the balcony of the main house, along with more detailed explanations about the lives of those who lived there. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! But next time, I would just purchase general admission and add the carriage ride since I already learned so much from our amazing guide. If you're visiting Nashville, The Hermitage is a MUST SEE! Between the history, the beautiful home, and the breathtaking scenery, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!
