Happily Picking in Nashville

On my last day in Nashville, I was able to visit the American Pickers store! I just love this show because I love seeing the many unique objects they find as well as the history behind them. When I found out that they had a store in Nashville, I just had to stop by before I came home. The shop is in a lovely old building called Marathon Motor Works which apparently used to house a company that made automobiles! I’m sharing just a few photos from the store. I recognized some of the items from the shows I watched which was pretty cool. Do you watch this show? If you do, what do you love about it?

Caridad Visits the Amazing Grand Ol’ Opry

This throwback is to a few days ago when I was able to visit the Grand Ol’ Opry. I wasn’t sure how I’d like it since I’m not really a country music fan, but I have to say that it was very inspiring! Watching the singers as they spoke about performing there or seeing their reactions at being inducted into the Opry was really very emotional.

It was also emotional hearing about how everyone came together after the horrible 2010 Nashville floods that swept water throughout the location, leaving upwards of four feet of water above stage level. Truly amazing.

It was also fun to see all the backstage areas and things like the dressing rooms which each have different themes. There are dressing rooms for newbies, stars who have a military background, the ladies, a special Minnie Pearl one, and so many more as you’ll see from the photos.

If you’re in Nashville, I would highly recommend a trip there! For more Nashville photos, please visit https://www.caridad.com/2021/07/14/first-fun-day-in-nashville/ and https://www.caridad.com/2021/07/16/have-a-great-time-in-nashville/.

Have a great time in Nashville!

Having a good time hanging out with other writers and also doing some sightseeing. Taught a session today on dialogue and was happy with how it went. Nashville is very interesting and I’m looking forward to exploring it some more in the next few days. These pictures are from the Gaylord as well as Downtown Nashville!
