At the Wash


In my neighborhood there is an old laundromat that's now a restaurant/bar and music venue. It kept its former name, The Family Wash. Mostly it's a great place to go to run into your neighbors, hear your friend's band, and knock back a pint of beer with their specialty, Shepherd's Pie.

Pretty in Pink


Here's another one I snapped with my iPhone at Rumours, a wine bar in East Nashville.  The light was dim, so the quality is not the best.  This powder room is perhaps my favorite room in all of Nashville.  It's gloriously pink with feminine touches like these sconces with crystals.

Sushi, Anyone?


I snapped this with my iPhone while having sushi at Ru San's in The Gulch.  The long bar, the pile of plates, and a few strangers enjoying their lunch... why not?

Hello Kitty

This is my cat, Hilary Kitten, catching some rays on the rooftop of the shed in our backyard.   The roof of the shed is one of her favorite places.  The weather in Nashville has been so beautiful and warm that everyone is out soaking up the sun just like Hilary Kitten.

Come Fly With Me


There is a small airport near my house.  In the summer it's fun to sit outside and watch the planes land and take off as they practice their touch and go.  Sometimes I ride my bike by the airport to get a good look up close.  These two planes won't be grounded for long.

Union Station


There's an area close to downtown called The Gulch.  Formerly a rail yard, it's now the land of high rise condos and trendy restaurants.  The northern entrance to The Gulch is marked by Union Station.  Once upon a time it was Nashville's train station.  Now it's a hotel and home to one of my favorite bars, The Flying Saucer.

6th Avenue


Here's another graffiti post and this time it's pretty cool, right?  It's on 6th Avenue, on the side of a downtown building.  A tattoo parlor, I think.

Hello Dolly


My favorite little Tennessee songbird gets her own Wall of Fame at the Hall of Fame.  Rock on, Dolly.
