a starring role

From Nashvilles early days, music has had a starringrole. That legacy has given rise to numerous landmarksthat tell the story of American entertainment.

Take the historic RymanAuditorium, for example. You canalmost hear the infectious laughof Minnie Pearl ringing from therafters and the lingering notesof Johnny Cashs guitar. Makeno mistake, however, the Rymanisnt simply a monument to thepast its one of the worlds most

venerated performance halls anda magnet for todays top artistsfrom all musical genres.

Music City knows how tohonor its past while embracingits future. For example, the GrandOle Opry, the worlds longest-running radio show, broadcastslive each week with a mix oflegendary performers and currentchart-climbers, and the Music

City Walk of Fame honors many of those same artistswho have made an impact on the citys musical scene.Other venerable places such as Hatch Show Print,

Historic RCA Studio B, Tootsies Orchid Lounge andthe Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum helpedset the stage for Nashville to become the place wherehits are made and played. That legacy continues at theSchermerhorn Symphony Center, where the Grammy-award-winning Nashville Symphony performs, the famedBluebird Cafe, The Loveless Cafe and The Loveless Barn.

More than a one-hit WonderThe citys impressive repertoire encompasses visual

arts, history, nature and family fun. From the famedStieglitz Collection including works by Picasso,Czanne and Renoir at the Carl Van Vechten Art Galleryat Fisk University to the ever-changing exhibits at theFrist Center for the Visual Arts and Cheekwood BotanicalGarden and Museum of Art, the city pays homage to local,regional and nationally ranked artists.

Larger-than-life sculptural works are prominent,

too, including the joyousMusica sculpture in the heartof Music Row, the contemporary Ghost Balletalongdowntowns Riverfront or the incredible re-creationof Athena inside the Parthenon.

Guests also have the abilityto travel back in time at the citysnumerous historic sites, includingThe Hermitage, Home of AndrewJackson, Belle Meade Plantationand Belmont Mansion. Theplantation homes accurately depictlife in the antebellum South andstand in stark contrast to the citys

very modern skyline. BicentennialCapitol Mall State Park is anotherexample of blending the old withthe new, as the decidedly modernsculptures tell the colorful taleof Tennessees history.

The common thread weavingtogether Nashvilles past andpresent is an appreciation forinnovation and creativity. Its thesame spirit that has led the city

to become one of the worlds most unique destinations.And its the underlying reason why music calls us home.

patterns up to 4 feet in height. After jumping the waves, relax

on the 1,000-foot-long lazy river or catch some rays on the new,

30,000-square-foot lounge and food deck. The new additions

The iconic restaurant added a special events venue, The LovelessBarn, to its campus in 2009. The new space has quickly become

an integral part of the citys entertainment scene and is the site

of many concerts. The barn also is home to an ongoing series,

Music City Roots, a weekly live broadcast on Lightning 100 radio

that features a roster of established singers and songwriters, along

with newcomers, for a mere $10 per ticket. A number of unique

retail shops and galleries are located on-site. For a calendar of

getting arounD DowntownThe Music City Circuit is a fun, free way to get around

downtown. The colorful buses travel two downtown routes,

making it easy for visitors and downtown workers to navigate

the city center. The Green Circuit, which connects the restaurant-

and retail-laden Gulch with downtown, runs every day until

midnight. The Blue Circuit serves key destinations between the

Schermerhorn Symphony Center and Bicentennial Capitol Mal l

and Urban Flats are just a few examples of places that are

bringing a new infusion of avor to the city.

f y hNashville is a city with a wealth of activities for active seniors.

The citys mild climate makes it easy to spend time outdoors. If youre into animals, the Nashville

Zoo showcases exotic creatures from around the world in natural habitats with nice walking paths

that meander through the grounds.

Speaking of strolling, you wont want to miss the beautiful gardens and sculpture trail at

Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art.

When its time to head inside, there are just as many options. While at Cheekwood, check

out the rotating art exhibitions and permanent displays in the Cheek Mansion, which is worth

seeing for its stunning architectural features.

Other attractions worth a visit include the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, the Carl Van Vechten

Gallery at Fisk University, the Parthenon, Lane Motor Museum, the Upper Room Chapel and

Museum of Christian Art, and the many art galleries that call Nashville home. Country fans will

enjoy stargazing at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, too.

Someone is always throwing a great party. Add one of thecitys many festivals or fairs to your itinerary. From 2011-13,

Nashville will host the huge National Folk Festival celebrating

traditional music and culture.

Legends and superstars live here. You just never know who

youll run into at the neighborhood coffee shop, but if you

want to find out more about your favorite performers, visit

the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's permanent

exhibit, which now features items from todays hottest stars,

including Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and

Keith Urban.

You can find your lost shaker of salt here. Although somemight argue Margaritaville is a state of mind, Jimmy Buffetts

famed caf and live music venue now has a downtown

Nashville address.

Shopping doesn't get any better than this. Those who love

shoes, as well as clothing from all of the top designers, will

want to head to The Mall at Green Hills to check out

Nordstrom, opening in fall 2011.

You can relive history. The five-year commemoration of the

150th anniversary of the Civil War begins in 2011. The story

of the war is told through Middle Tennessee's many historic

sites and battlefields.
