If you want to renew your tags, TN is waiving Class A & B state registration fees for those whose…read moretags are expiring between now and June 30th 2023. A renewal isn't free since only the state portion is waived, but that'll make your car tag only about $61 with the 2% credit card fee. When I asked why, the clerk didn't know but I had no complaints.... Any discount is GREAT! I learned that you can only renew tags for others ONLY if the tag has expired within 90 days. Any older expirations will need the registered owner to come in person and renew their own tags. So I was unable to give a gift of tag renewal which would have been a "novel" and unorthodox Christmas present. Another fun fact I learned was that TN Residents can go to any Driver License station in ANY COUNTY! I suppose getting rid of emissions testing was the best thing for efficiency They close at 4:30pm so I recommend coming in by 4pm in case there's a line. Since there were only about 2 other customers already being served, the security officer took me straight to a customer service representative at an available window. Everyone there was very pleasant and I was in and out so quickly.

I arrived around 11:14 a.m. and didn't leave until 3:50 p.m. The initial hour wait was expected and wasn't the issue. Once I was called, I found out I was given the wrong ticket, processed for the wrong credential, and had my last name misspelled despite the correct spelling being on my Georgia license and every document I provided. After catching the mistakes myself, I spent more than three additional hours waiting for them to be corrected while new customers continued being helped. Eventually, a supervisor had to step in because the employee couldn't fix the issue, and even then it took multiple attempts. I understand waiting at the DMV, but over four and a half hours because of preventable employee errors is completely different. When you're handling someone's legal identification, basic accuracy and attention to detail should not be too much to ask. The unsanitary facility didn't make the experience any better. The waiting area smelled strongly of body odor, the seats had questionable stains all over them, and the bathrooms looked like what I imagine a jail bathroom would look like. I also watched a Spanish-speaking woman struggle to communicate while the employee assisting her became increasingly frustrated with the poor woman, who had no one there to help her. Instead of trying to find someone who could assist, the employee just kept repeating the same thing over and over in a more annoyed tone each time. Another Spanish-speaking man was having a similar experience. I finally took it upon myself to go into the waiting room and find someone who could help. Go figure, I was able to flag down two Spanish-speaking employees who could assist them, meaning help was available the entire time. The other employees could have easily done the same instead of repeatedly speaking to customers with language barriers in an increasingly frustrated and condescending manner. Watching employees continue to repeat themselves as though these customers simply weren't understanding, rather than finding the Spanish-speaking assistance that was readily available, was extremely disappointing. For a government facility serving the public, there should be far more patience, professionalism, and effort to make sure everyone can access the services they came there for. A government facility serving the public should be clean, organized, professional, and prepared to assist people facing language barriers with patience and respect. This location needs serious improvement in employee training, customer service, cleanliness, and attention to detail!

The Nashville Public Library is a great example of why I love public libraries: it's not just…read morebooks, it's a resource for the community. This library, located in downtown Nashville, has lots of resources for people, including my favorite: a "Library of Things" where people can check out useful objects, such as musical instruments, tools, baking pans, weights, pedometers, sewing machines, binoculars, etc. In the teen area, there is a huge maker space with instruments, a loom for weaving, fabric and yarn for creating things, a podcast room, tools and all kinds of things that teens can use to be creative. The children's area of the library has a big play structure that looks like a ship, as well as a rock climbing wall (I know!), sensory toys, and little nooks with areas set up for play. There's a whole section on the third floor with charging stations and places for adults to hang out. My magazine-loving self loved that they had an archive of old magazines bound into books. I found decades-old copies of Seventeen and Vogue. The whole library itself is beautiful, with marble floors and lots of windows. It was super quiet when I visited. What a beautiful and useful space for the community.

My friend and I try to visit every state capitol when we travel. This one is located on top of a…read morehill and parking was not available (lots of open reserved spots which required a permit which made no sense to me). We came across one lot with a couple of open spots that did not have "reserved" signage so we stopped to ask an employee whom was having car trouble and he stated to park nose forward and not backwards and we should be fine (unfortunately, we did not fit). We parked down the hill curbside (paid) and walked up the numerous steps but all was so beautiful (lots of greenery and scenery). As for the capitol itself, it was very nice and clean (as all are) and we had missed the guided tour that was taking place but we were able to self guide. We got to see some employees at work which was interesting and got to see some of the chambers and take pics. Overall, plan on spending about an hour here, especially if you are going to go out on the balcony to check out the views. Very friendly security guards upon entering as well (you do go through a metal detector which made me feel safe).

4.5 Stars On our…read morelast day in Nashville, my brother and I spent time on the grounds of the Tennessee State Capitol. It was incorporated in a walk that took us from the Downtown Embassy Suites across from Music City Center to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It was my second time seeing the Tennessee State Capitol Building on my vacation. The first was from the Gray Line Tour. The Tennessee State Capitol Building with the Capitol District added a different dimension to the Nashville vacation. Once we got to Union Street, even though we were less than a mile from Broadway, Music City USA seemed miles away. It felt like we were now in a city celebrating the state of Tennessee. We entered from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and 6th Avenue. The first thing I noticed is how high up it is. We climbed steps to enter the grounds. The Tennessee State Capitol Building is at the highest elevation in Downtown Nashville. It is remarkably noticeable from the Northside view along US 31/41, where it looks like it is on top of a small green mountain where a trail of steps carry people up. Not to be political (pardon the pun) the best spots to see The Tennessee State Capitol Building up close was from the east side. The second best spot to see it is from the north side either from US 31/41 or Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where you get the awesome hill view. The Supreme Court Building blocks the west side. And during our visit, the reconstruction at Legislative Plaza prevented us from taking prime views at the south side. With that said we spent quality time on the east side. Being up on the higher elevation with mature trees, the weather felt better. When we ascended the southeast corner steps I took in the Alvin York statue. When we got to the top of the hill I took in the statue of President Andrew Jackson on his horse Cincinnati with the State Capitol behind it. Walking along the shaded walking paths, I took in the Tennessee Capitol Bell which is a replica of the Liberty Bell. Rising above Downtown Tennessee, my eyes took in a distant east view and past the Capitol an impressive view of Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where we were headed next. I stopped to take in the pond. In the shadow of the State Capitol, my brother and I spent time on a bench overlooking the Tomb of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah. The majority of my attention was on the State Capitol Building. Designed by William Strickland, it was completed in 1859 when Tennessee decided that Nashville was going to be the state capitol. The architecture is Greek Revival. William Strickland based it on a Greek Iconic Temple. It stands 206.6 feet tall. It is one of twelve state capitols without a dome. While I was looking at it and taking pictures I was aware that the Tennessee State Senate and Governor could be behind the wall. I was certain that it was the second state capitol building that I spent time outside of (I also reviewed the Colorado State Capitol). Deciding to walk to the Tennessee State Capitol Building and ultimately Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park was a very good move. They added another dimension to the Nashville, Tennessee vacation where we got to celebrate the State of Tennessee. Being that this review focuses on the Tennessee State Capitol Building, I feel that my experience on its grounds admiring the beautiful Greek Revival architecture with the statues, mature trees, views, and burial spot of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah minus an inside tour makes it worthy of 4.5 stars

First, I say 10 Christian prayers. Then 10 Muslim prayers. Then 10 Jewish prayers. Then I hit 10 respectful poses for Buddha. Then I swallow two Zofran and whisper goodbye to my loved ones. Because driving on these roads feels less like commuting and more like participating in a live action disaster movie filmed in a city that lost a fight with 10 million potholes. The experience is thrilling. Will my tire explode? Will my suspension surrender to God? Will my axle detach and begin a new independent life? Nobody knows. Every drive is a mystery box. People in Las Vegas think they're gamblers. Cute. Try hitting a crater the size of a studio apartment at 45 mph and see what REAL gambling feels like. I hit one last week and my Apple Watch congratulated me on finishing a diving workout. And i connected to a wifi in china briefly. At this point, my vehicle has developed trust issues. My alignment lasts approximately six business minutes. My tires see a pothole and immediately begin drafting their wills. And I'm pretty sure i heard them reciting psalm 23. If I were mayor, there would be congressional hearings. There would be documentaries. There would be a Netflix special called "Where Did The Road Go?" Instead, you continue collecting tax dollars while these streets resemble archaeological excavation sites. I sincerely hope every employee at this fine institution experiences two blown tires per month and an axle related inconvenience once every quarter. Which, for the record, is still considerably kinder than what these roads have done to the cars of this city.

Every time I am on the bridge, there is some sort of photo shoot going on whether it be amateur or professional, and I bet the photos turn out amazing! Getting to the bridge can seem tricky, but best bet is Two Rivers Park, which leads you right to the bridge from their main lot just off of Briley Parkway.

Yet it never seems to amaze me how many people are traipsing around the midwest, especially trucks, of course.
