I had no idea that Nashville had a nickname! If I had to come up with one it probably would have been something like NashDisney Land, but Nashvegas has a better ring to it. Vegas is like a caricature of itself, an exaggerated Disney-ised version of itself, with all the lights and the now ridiculous hotels out there. Well, when I arrived in Nashville and started wandering around downtown it felt like just the same thing. Honky Tonks…funny name, funny places. They are everywhere in downtown Nashville. They have their big neon guitars out front and bands playing at all hours of the day (I mean even at noon there were people playing to empty bars!). Broadway is lined with these places. I felt like a rubbernecker. I didn’t want to look, but I couldn’t help myself. Sucked into this strange surreal world of Nashvegas.
Now to explore the rest of the town…
