Nashville
Tennessee Capitol, originally uploaded by snoopoz.
Continuing with the Tennessee theme, I was also in Nashville. That was an interesting place. After my case, I had some free time so I went running through downtown Nashville. That's the state capitol in the distance, and it is a stately building. Tennessee was a crucial state in the Civil War, and there are lots of monuments to Confederate heroes. The Capitol grounds are littered with them, and it is very awe-inspiring.
Also, I found myself on Broadway, which is filled with hokey tourist attractions and buskers. It feels weird to me that an entire nationwide industry is headquartered in Nashville. (Country music, fools.) But it is, and Broadway was crawling with musicians hoping to make it big. If you can make it in Nashville, you can make it anywhere.
