Fifth Plus Broadway is a mixed use development that has revigerated Broadway west of Rep. John…read moreLewis Way. What had prior to 2021 been the abandoned Nashville Convention Center is now a modern mixed use development that has brought life into Broadway west of the "Honkey Tonk Highway" stretch. It features a shopping mall, Assembly Food Hall, a retail scape fronting Broadway, The Place at Fifth, the National Museum of African American Music, and the towering landmark 501 Commerce Street Building. It has brought an Apple Store, Sephora, Shake Shack, Hattie B's, Prince's Chicken, and more to Broadway. On my vacation, I had caught it's act several times. The one sight that always stood out was the consistent long line to Hattie B's. My visits here included Assembly Food Hall, Prince's Fried Chicken, the Twelve Thirty Club, visit the Apple Store, and walk around. My impression was that the stores and restaurants are reasonably priced. Although the restaurants and stores provide decent value, to me the greatest value here was the photo opportunities. The focal point of the development, the L-shaped mall which bridges Broadway with Rep. John Lewis Way gives the gift of a prime photo spot for the 1) Ryman Auditorium where the original Grand Ol Opry performed and 2) Bridgestone Arena. The restaurants, especially in the Assembly Hall provide an opportunity to photograph food. I recommend the Assembly Food Hall Bridge to photograp the historic Ryman Auditorium. Additionally , I learned that if I stood on Broadway by the Bridgestone Arena, that Fifth Plus Broadway made a dynamic photo showing modern and historic Broadway, with the modern Fifth Plus Broadway architecture including towers contrasting with the historic Honkey Tonk Highway streetscape. As far as safety, I felt safe. The one annoyance that I saw were street hustlers at the Rep. John Lewis Way entrance aggressively bothering passer-by. During all of my visits here it was busy. There is a safety in numbers. On the subject of safety, the hot and humid summers need to be taken into account. On a few occasions we had escaped the excruciating heat in the air conditioned Assembly Food Hall for a couple of hours. I rate Fifth Plus Broadway "Four Stars." It is doing a remarkable job extending the lively Broadway restaurant and entertainment scene beyond the western edge of the Honkey Tonk Highway.

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.

I recently visited the Downtown Nashville Public Library to explore the Civil Rights Room and Votes…read morefor Women exhibit on the second floor in Special Collections. The building impressed me with its beautiful architecture--spacious with perfect lighting throughout. The helpful front desk librarian directed me to Special Collections, accessible via elevator or the stunning winding staircase leading to the circular second-floor rotunda. The Civil Rights Room (established 2002, renovated summer 2024) houses thousands of books documenting the movement--from biographies of leaders to Nashville's specific contributions. The collection spans academic works, personal accounts, photographic histories, and legal analyses. The room's centerpiece is a circular table with the actual rules students followed during lunch counter sit-ins etched into its surface. A separate small viewing room offers videos about the movement, and the librarian on duty provided me resources to take home. The Votes for Women Room (established spring 2020, modeled after the Civil Rights Room) commemorates the 19th Amendment's centennial. This visually striking space with bold colors showcases women from diverse backgrounds who fought for suffrage from the 1800s onward. The room was funded by numerous benefactors committed to preserving this important history. Interactive displays, videos, and a comprehensive timeline eloquently present women's long struggle for equality. Notable figures include the determined Ida B. Wells alongside contemporary voices like Tarana Burke, known for establishing the "Me Too Movement." This room clearly connects past struggles to present day challenges. Pro Tips: * Parking: Use the garage (3rd and 4th floor). First 60 minutes free on weekdays, 90 minutes on weekends. Bring your parking ticket to the front desk for validation. * Taking Uber/Lyft is a convenient alternative to downtown parking. * Check the website for hours, parking details, and upcoming special exhibits. * The children's section is outstanding and interactive--perfect for families! * On-site restaurant plus numerous nearby restaurants and coffee shops. * Hotels: Many are available downtown for tourists. * Other nearby attractions: TN State Capitol, Tennessee State Museum, Farmers' Market, Bicentennial Mall, Nashville Symphony, Ryman Auditorium, National Museum of African American Music, Country Music Hall of Fame. As Coretta Scott King said, "Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won; you earn it and win it in every generation." These exhibits aren't just history--they're powerful reminders of ongoing struggles. We should not take anything for granted! While Nashville is famous for music, don't miss this special place that connects us to important American History. It will be an experience for you and your family to appreciate the struggles of the past and connect with an important part of American History.

Bridgestone is by far my favorite large event venue in Nashville. The crowd management is top notch…read moreand I never feel like I'm waiting in long lines, even when the event is sold out. The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. Some of the seats near the top are very narrow when it comes to legroom, so be prepared to stand up and stretch sometimes. If you're at a predators game, this will be no problem as the crowd likes to get loud and proud! If at a concert, the "nosebleeds" are still relatively close to the action and climate controlled vs the outdoor/stadium venue options around town.
