Nashville, Tennessee
We are staying at Poole Knobs COE Campground near Smyrna, TN.: $9 a night with elect & water (we have the National Park systems 1/2 price geezer pass) so if you aren't 62 years old or disabled yet it will cost you $18. Smyrna and Poole Knobs COE Campground, is about 20-miles SE of downtown Nashville. We are on site # 41 and it is a beautiful site but there are many wonderful sites.
When a wonderful COE Campground like Pool Knobs is not available we look for a 1/2 price PPA Campground.
Joyce next to the Praline sign
Nashville honky tonks aren't the only attraction in town.
We stopped by this praline shop to get just one nice praline. It was good. If you are interested it is on 2nd street between Commerce and Broadway.
Barge on Cumberland River Nashville, Tennessee
This tug boat is pushing some loaded barges downstream on the Cumberland River. This picture was taken from the corner of 1st Street and Broadway in downtown Nashville, Tennessee looking to the southeast.
Carriage Rides Nashville, Tennessee
A group of carriage rides operate in downtown Nashville. This particular carriage had a cute way of attracting attention. The driver was eating ice cream and that poor dog wanted some. I do not think the dog got any. This just proves there is more entertainment on Broadway in Nashville than honky tonks. VBG
Tootsies Honky Tonk on Broadway
Tootsies is one of the famous honky tonks on Broadway Street in Nashville. They always feature a stable of good musicians.
J. D. Simo at Robert's Honky Tonk on Broadway
We enjoyed this band earlier in the week when they were performing at Robert's honky tonk. JD Simo, the lead guitar player, is top notch. Dave Roe, the base guitar player, toured with Johnny Cash's road band for 10-years.
TO Townsend O'Donnel performing at Rippy's
This is TO Townsend O'Donnell. We have enjoyed them several times performing at Rippy's on the corner of Broadway & 3rd Street, across the street from Tootsie's and Legends Corner. They are good. Check them out at: I do not think I would classify Rippy's as a honky tonk but it is a live music venue nestled in that cluster of classic honky tonks on Broadway in Nashville. www.townsendodonnell.com
Demo's Steak and Spaghetti House
We have sampled a good many dining places while in Nashville. Demos' Steak & Spaghetti House is really great and the price is right. Heck, the price is great, as in cheaper than hamburgers in most of the places. Demos' is located on the corner of 3rd and Commerce Street which is the same corner our parking garage was located on. This is the only eating place we were really happy with and would recommend. We plan to return. That pretty much summs up this honky tonkin experience on Broadway in Nashville.
