    Printer's Alley is a historic, vibrant nightlife district known for its speakeasy-style bars, live…read morejazz, blues, and rock music. Originally the city's printing hub in the early 1900s, it transformed into a popular entertainment alley in the 1940s, providing a "grittier", more intimate alternative to Broadway's honky-tonks. Our experience here included an evening of drinks and music at Alley Taps, and just enjoying a few walks up and down the street. We had already learned some of the history here from our Joyride tour, which added nicely to our exposure.

    3.5 stars…read more Printer's Alley prints the chapter of an alley with two chapters. In chapter one it served as Nashville's printing hub in the early 1900s. In the second chapter that dates from the 1940s to the time of this writing, it is a nightclub and bar destination. In contrast to the nearby Broadway-Honkeytonk Highway, it is far smaller. It is two blocks long bounded by Commerce Street to the south, 4th Avenue to the west, Union Street to the North, and 3rd Avenue to the east. For purposes of this review, I am rating it from the perspective of walking in it during the late morning. When I experienced Printer's Alley it was part of a walk through Downtown Nashville. In the late morning it was quiet. I walked it a couple of times. From the northernmost point at Union Street to the southernmost point at Commerce Street it was a 0.21 mile walk that took six minutes. Unlike the nearby Honky Tonk Highway, it was very laid back and had an off the beaten path to it although it is a block from Broadway. I was impressed with the cleaniness of the alleyway. The historic buildings were free of graffiti and vandalism. That created a better perception of safety. Along the way there were a few signs that told the Printer's Alley story. One of them says, "Probation ends here." I noticed that the largest concentration of nightclubs and other businesses were just north of Church Street. The string lights called attention to these businesses. From my time in historic Printer's Alley, I saw that it was bookended by two modern buildings: UBS Center to the north and the At&T Building-the Tallest Building in Tennessee to the south. I cannot help but note that if the AT&T Building weren't there that possibly Printer's Alley could connect to Broadway. From a daytime perspective I give Printer's Alley Three Stars. In the daytime it is an interesting place to walk through as a part of a Downtown Nashville hike.

It is unique in that it looks like towering fragments of twisted red roller coaster tracks towering above a historic strip of honkey tonk. Throughout my pre-Nashville virtual walks through live streams, I would see "Ghost Ballet" when walking virtually East on Broadway and at the start of a virtual walk along the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Eighteen years after this Alice Aycock work of art was completed in 2007, we got to see it when we vacationed in Nashville from June 23 to June 29, 2025. In similar fashion to the live streams that I virtually walked, my eyes took it in when they looked east on Broadway. In actuality, "Ghost Ballet" is on the East bank of the Cumberland River horizontal to Broadway. Broadway concludes at the Riverfront Park which fronts the Cumberland River in Downtown Nashville. This is where I spent several minutes looking across the Cumberland River at a vista where "Ghost Ballet" visually dances between Nissan Stadium and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. When I write "visually dances," I describe some of the meaning of the artwork that looks like twisted roller coaster tracks. According to Wikipedia, Alice Aycock,who created it was attentive to the way it changes shapes the way the person moves around it from the numerous viewing points in Downtown. This movement reminded her of dance movements, hence the name of "Ghost Ballet." When I looked across the Cumberland River at "Ghost Ballet,"was I looking at the remnants of a riverside theme park?" In actuality the red twisted metal is actually railroad-like red twisted twisted that pay tribute to the railroad heritage along the Cumberland River. The Cumberland River with "Ghost Ballet" as the centerpiece made for some camera candy. The vintage point from Riverfront Park is a prime Nashville photo spot. I also took in a higher elevation view of the"Ghost Ballet " from the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Standing at 100 feet tall and 100 feet wide, from viewing it on the higher elevation of the bridge, it appeared that I was looking straight at it instead of below. Come to think of it, this might of made for a Four Star roller coaster. In conclusion, I rate "Ghost Ballet" Four Stars for being a very visually appealing work of public art and a landmark.
