Nashville Visitor Center - Nightime

Before vacationing in Nashville, I watched YouTube livestreams. These livestreams gave me tours of…read moreNashville before seeing it live. When I was following along on these virtual walks, my eyes took in this towering landmark that looked like a radio tower. This towering landmark marked the end of the Honkey Tonk Highway stretch of Broadway. In real life I was going to see this. In June that happened plenty of times. This Nashville landmark is a 250-foot tall radio tower that pays homage to Nashville's rich radio history, especially WSM Country Music which has aired country music since 1925. It is a representation of Nashville's connection to music, much like the tower above the Country Music Hall of Fame. This landmark was a big part of the vacation. Kind of like the Eiffel Tower would be in Paris. Nearby I would take pictures of it up close and walking along Broadway, the Riverfront Park, Walk of Fame Park, and other spots I took distant pictures of it. This landmark radio tower is incorporated into the northeast corner of the Bridgestone Arena at Broadway and Rep. John Lewis Way. This corner is home to the Nashville Visitor Center. It is a rounded mostly glass structure serving as the base of the 250-foot tall radio tower. It also serves as a place to welcome people to Nashville, Tennessee. I went inside here a couple of times. I saw it as a place to get acquainted with and to remember Nashville. When I walked inside from the entrance at Rep. John Lewis Way, I saw a few interpretive kiosks and a wall of records. The windows opening up to Broadway and Rep. John Lewis Way brought in sufficient sunlight and views. In the center of the room is the information desk where the employees answer questions and ring up souvenirs. They were pretty helpful when I asked them about the Nashville Trolly. However, they did not know much about the landmark above them. It's interesting that I would learn about it from Google AI instead of from the Nashville Visiter's Center. Regardless they were friendly and enthusiastic about answering my questions. Surrounding the desk are souvenirs. In my opinion the gift shops on Broadway offer a far better selection. Beyond the rounded below the landmark radio tower, the Visitor Center extends into the Bridgestone Arena. In contrast to the well lit, modern, and Nashville themed room under the radio tower, this area feels like a waiting area in a bus terminal. I appears to double up as a ticketing area. This is where the seating, brochures, and restrooms are. I spent some time sitting here with my Dad, and Brother while cooling off on a humid Nashville afternoon. I am a fan of the Nashville Visitor Center landmark 250-foot tall radio tower that rises from the top. When I vacationed in Music City USA, it was a landmark that I gravitated to.

This spot stood out as the perfect pitstop on our road trip as we passed Tennessee. It offers…read moreplenty of options for the local tourist attractions with an eased checkout experience. No matter what you stopped in Nashville for, stopping here allows you to preview a lot of options to really strategize your time in the area. We took the dogs for a walk nearby and were able to scope out several entertainment options for the night. Our visit here was short but thanks to this ample and easily accessible visitor center, I was able to select the itinerary for the night. If you need to gather your thoughts and have plenty of recommendations at your disposition, this is worth stopping at.

VISITORS ARE WELCOME HERE!…read more Yes, this center is a necessary stop on your visit to Huntsville when you are unfamiliar with the area. It is located in the historic section of the city and staffed by two lovely women who are eager to help you navigate your way around the city. They have tons of information available. My strategy is always to go straight to the printed information to gather what I can (I like to read), and then ask questions if necessary. My husband goes straight to the desk to ask questions because it's easy and he just likes talking to the receptionists. Whatever your strategy, you will be fine here! In addition to resources, you can also find souvenir tees and talk a selfie with their unique selfie machine. It allows you to choose your background (city landmarks), and then you can e-mail it to yourself. They also have a large open heart that you can also use to frame a photo and the ladies will be happy to assist you. You will notice that you are conveniently located to many of the landmarks and can easily walk from this point. Just walk outside and look to your left and you will see the historic depot. From there, other landmarks can be easily located, so get to steppin and enjoy your visit!

This is a completely new facility, it took over two years to tear down the building, parking lots,…read moreand roads to reconstruct them all as brand new. That part is great. The restrooms are split in half where they can close half for cleaning and then switch to the other side. When they aren't cleaning, both sides used to be open. Now, they've gotten lazy and only half of the restrooms are ever open at once. So, when you have dozens of truckers and a lot of people in cars throughout the night, there sometimes is a line in the restrooms waiting for a toilet. There is a room with a lot of free travel information but it is locked up all night long. It's only open during 'bankers hours'. When the place is the busiest us when all of this information is locked up and inaccessible. It is unlike any other rest area in any other state - we've never seen all of this type of travel information locked up anywhere else. The locks on the toilet stalls are unusual. They have red and green blocks... From the outside they are very small and some of them aren't lined up or they are damaged. People can't always tell if they are available without looking for feet. From the inside, red means what? It is locked or unlocked? Safe or unsafe? If you check the lock before closing the door, there is no deadbolt to see moving... It's all internal to the door. On the inside, SOME of the stalls show a diagram of a locked padlock when it is in the red position and an unlocked symbol on the green. But some of them don't show the symbols or the red/green colors because these locks are junk and everything gets out of alignment. I've seen guys open the stall doors of occupied stalls many times because of these screwed up locks. Just the other day, a guy said it showed his door was locked but he got walked in on... You can't physically test them because turn the handle to open the door automatically unlocks the door in the process. So, yeah, for my job, I travel through here a few times every week. The next place to stop is more than 60 miles south. There is a bucees 30 miles south but you can't take trucks there.

For rest stops you won't get much cooler outside decor than an actual real life rocket. The grounds also feature a Vietnam memorial and a Korean War memorial. So lots of cool historical things to check out on the grounds. The inside features a visitors center and a separate section with a mens and woman's room. The visitors side had a lady greeter who was very nice and asked for family size and zip code so they can keep track of visitors. The rocket garners a lot of attention. The bathrooms were pretty rough but nothing out of the ordinary compared to a normal welcome center or rest stop. The vending machines were in a separate exterior hut type area to the left of the main entrance. Overall pretty cool rest stop that is memorable for the rocket and cool war memorials as well. Someone told me this is the most visited place in all of Alabama. Kinda cool if true.

I spotted a sign to Bowie Park, including its nature centre, and turned in to check it out. It is a beautiful park with majestic trees. It felt so much cooler simply driving in this park because the trees shielded you from the heat and provided some much needed relief. Bowie Park has over 700 acres of forest and lakes. It also has 17 miles of trails. You can essentially go biking, horseback riding, fishing, running, and walking in nature. Park hours are between 5 am and 10 pm. I am assuming that gates block your way into this park when it's closed. I thoroughly enjoyed my brief drive into the park. You can park your car and take advantage of doing a hike or whatever activity you feel like doing while connecting with nature. It was so hot that I wasn't feeling a hike. A touristy car ride was good and a nice change of pace. I found the nature centre. It's a place for visitors to learn more about the park. It has nature exhibits, brochures, and art. It features the Bowie museum, which shares the history of the Bowie family and their gifting the park to Fairview. This centre has classes throughout the year on learning about this park. It also has staff offices and public restrooms. This park was named after Dr. Evangeline Bowie. Her family had purchased this plot of land in the 1950's. It was eroded and in poor condition. It went through a transformation of being bulldozed and redesigned into the forest that exists today. It was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon when I was here. I'd love to return and take a walk when it's not scorching hot. It felt peaceful and relaxing while I was here during my car tour. It's such a gem. It was an unexpected, cool find. (320)

The structure has tons of dry rot and the benches are too weak to sit on without fear of falling. If I had the funds or ability I would fix this problem myself.
